Richard Playford - Playford's Plumbing

"Being new to self-employment, the software has been invaluable. It enables me to invoice customers as soon as I have completed a job and keep track of what money I am owed. The dashboard also helps me keep on top of the suppliers that I need to pay, which has really helped me manage starting my own business."

Yago Zens and Axel Zens, joint Managing Directors of Zen Group

"We are pleased to have been clients of Ashdown Hurrey for in excess of 20 years.  With our operations based in six countries, director, Jeff Moore, has made the Global Reporting function run on his terms and this works perfectly for us.  With assistance from his colleague, Marc Ransom, we cannot offer a higher level of praise for the service we receive."

Carley Richards Limited, T/A Creations Hair & Beauty

"Ashdown Hurrey have been fantastic with every element of helping with all our accounting needs! From our initial meeting, to setting up our LTD company, to our quarterly VAT. Gemma is always able to answer my questions. It doesn't matter how simple or daft they may be. I can't thank and recommend them enough."

Barry Ingham, BSF Electronics Limited

"I have been running my specialised electronics business alongside another unconnected family business and following a discussion with Ashdown Hurrey, it was evidence that it would be better if the electronics were separated out. I was a bit concerned that these things take time, but I was surprised how quickly the new separate company was put in place once I pressed the go button. Simon Lawrence and Mick Murduck have provided advice and support with my business activities generally and I am pleased to see this carrying on with the new business. Like a lot of small businesses, I have all the skills that my customers want, but do not have much spare time to ensure that the administrative burden is catered for, but I do recognise that I ignore these requirements at my peril. Having Simon and Mick there to guide me through it saves me a lot of time and I am also reassured that with their years of experience they can keep me on the straight and narrow."

George Wilson MBE - Chairman, George Wilson Holdings

"We moved our accounting and advisory requirements to Ashdown Hurrey in the spring of 2016. We have gone from simply receiving a very reactive service to being in a position where we understand our figures and where our results are leading prior to the financial year-end. Director, Jeff Moore, and his colleague, Martin Copland, have become an integral part of the George Wilson Group and we very much appreciate the levels of advice and service given."

Scott Monk, Managing Director

"We have been clients of Ashdown Hurrey since June 2016. Rather than simply reviewing our historic financial information, Jeff Moore and his team are actively involved in our business as we very much focus on current issues. We have invested a lot of time in updating our internal financial systems, so that we can understand where we stand on a day to day basis. The service levels have been exceptional."

Mark Ryalls, Amberley Nursery Limited

"We work in a very people orientated world with our staff, parents and most importantly the nursery children being the focus of our activities. We also work in a highly regulated and controlled environment so we are used to dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s to make sure everything is dealt with correctly. With this in mind, it was reassuring to have our accounts and taxation affairs dealt with by a company which shared those values, Simon Lawrence has been advising us for a number of years and we respond well to his professional approach.

Whilst none of us are particularly keen to pay unnecessary tax, we recognise our obligations but appreciated Simon bringing to our attention some of the things that we could do to ensure that we got the best tax breaks through our investment in our business. Simon’s advice enabled us to not only make suitable pension provisions, but also to see the benefit of maximising tax reliefs. Ashdown Hurrey’s close association with Spectrum Financial Services gave us access to a similarly committed IFA in Graham Peters and he not only dealt with the pension arrangements but also helped secure the reliability of the nursery through Key Man Insurance. It is good to work with people who share our philosophy who enable us to build on the strength of our business."

Dyer & Hobbis

"We have been clients of Ashdown Hurrey for a number of years and found their approach to business and the services they offer very helpful.They are refreshingly proactive when dealing with statutory and taxation matters and Sam Carter has been readily available both face-to-face or by telephone whenever we’ve had any queries that require attention. We have no hesitation in recommending their services to any of our clients."

Blakes Design Ltd

“Ashdown Hurrey have looked after our accounting needs for many years. Steve and his team have more recently been instrumental in helping us refine our administrative processes and have incorporated bookkeeping and payroll services into their remit too.  They are a really professional and friendly team who are always quick to help and respond,  taking the stress out of our everyday operations in the office. We would highly recommend them to any local business.

 The Bo-Peep Pub

"We have been working with Gemma and her team at Ashdown Hurrey for just over a year, since taking over a business that had been with them for many years. Our experience so far has been nothing short of exceptional, with a huge amount of support given during the take over and ever since. All of the team are extremely knowledgeable and efficient so we are never waiting long for a response. Highly recommend to any individual or business looking for a first class accountancy firm."

 Hastings Baby Shop

"We’ve been working with Ashdown Hurrey for all our accounting services. From the outset, their team took the time to understand our business and tailor their services to suit our specific needs. Thanks to their expert guidance, we were able to streamline our financial processes, reduce our overall tax liability, and ensure we remain fully compliant with ever-changing regulations. The time we’ve saved by outsourcing our accounting functions has allowed us to focus more on growing our business with confidence.What we appreciated most about working with Ashdown Hurrey in particular Louise & Barry was their responsiveness, clarity, and professionalism. Whether it was a quick query or a more complex financial issue, they were always on hand with clear advice and actionable solutions. Their approachable and knowledgeable team made what can often be a stressful area of business feel straightforward and well-managed. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ashdown Hurrey to anyone looking for reliable, insightful, and professional accounting support."

 Bibi Lemos, Town & Country

"Nathan is, hands down, the best accountant I have ever worked with- a true cut above the rest. He is diligent, organised, insightful, and even took the initiative to set up a Zoom meeting. Teresa has also been fantastic. Her knowledge and support with payroll and pensions have been invaluable- she really knows her stuff."
