What our clients say

I first engaged Wendy when I was acquiring a business. Right from our initial meeting, I was impressed by her depth of knowledge, solid advice and all-around professionalism. Wendy was a massive support and now plays a key role in my business, guiding me on all things financial. Her financial and business acumen is unparalleled. She is always approachable and ready to help, and nothing seems to faze her. Working with Wendy is like having a personal advisor as she treats you like you are her only client. I can't recommend Wendy and her team highly enough. – Julie Gilmore, Managing Director, Ryan Recruitment Limited

What our clients say

I have worked with Matt Shallcrass for over five years, with Matt supporting my tax affairs including complex share transactions and property tax issues (nationally and internationally). The relationship is high trust with Matt de-mystifying my tax obligations in simple, no-nonsense language. He has consistently provided quality, technically robust advice, but has not forgotten the art of empathy. This dynamic has only strengthened now I am in the UK. Matt remains as responsive, literate in global tax procedure and collaborative as ever. My father offered simple, compelling wisdom: “Retain high-quality professional advisors, you will not regret it.” Matt is one of those and is essential to my business confidence and peace of mind. – Justine W

I want to extend my sincere thanks to Mike Allcock at Baker Tilly Staples Rodway. His professionalism and expertise were evident from the moment we began working together. He took the time to understand the complexities of my business and provided clear, actionable advice, especially with back costing, which has been invaluable for improving my financial management. Mike's ability to untangle issues and offer practical, strategic guidance has helped put my business on a much stronger financial footing. I feel much more confident in the direction of my business thanks to his assistance. I highly recommend Mike for anyone in need of reliable accounting services and expert business advice. – Matthew Johnson, Managing Director, MJ Roofing

What our clients say

As soon as I engaged Baker Tilly Staples Rodway as my dedicated financial partner, I knew I had made the right decision. They are not just accountants but true financial strategists. Dorian's knowledge of tax regulations, financial planning and accounting principles is unparalleled. With their guidance, I was able to navigate complex financial decisions with confidence. What sets Dorian apart is his unwavering dedication to clients. He took time to understand my financial situation and tailored his advice to align with my goals. The firm’s proactive approach to managing my accounts ensured I was always one step ahead, optimising opportunities and minimising risks. I highly recommend Dorian and Baker Tilly as trusted accounting partners. – Laura W, Wine Divine

What our clients say

Cashing out in crypto is something that I and many others dream about yet dread (due to) the tax implications. Matthew Shallcrass was excellent, first of all by having a personal interest in Cryptocurrency he knew exactly what I was talking about. He clearly explained the current tax laws and gave options around how I could cash out. The process was smooth, communication was great and service was prompt. Couldn't have asked for more. I will continue to work with Matthew and highly recommend him to anyone in my situation. Olly D
