What Our clients say about us.
We have been successfully helping businesses since 1980. Don't just take our word for it, see what some of our clients have to say about working with the team at DEB.
I have been a client of DEB for at least 25 years and have always found them to provide a prompt and valuable service with access at any time to my client manager. In particular we find the book keeping platform Deb-on-air easy to use and simple to balance making it perfect for our needs without having to undergo a massive learning curve.
Bob Garner, Lawnsmith Ltd
I have been a content client with DEB for around two decades. During this time, all at the firm have always been responsive, helpful, friendly and professional. Advice and support are prompt and reliable. I have complete confidence in DEB.
I find the meeting with my account manager to discuss my accounts invaluable. Not only to have the opportunity to sit with them and go through my annual accounts in detail so they are "right first time" and clear any issues but also for the insight, it gives me into the business in general.
DEB is an innovative and forward thinking firm. For example the development of their bespoke facilities for secure communication and accounts preparation. DEB-Connect makes it so simple to submit documentation, approve accounts, prepare dividend documentation and similar with ease negating the need for regular email or post. Deb-on-Air simplifies and eases the chore of bookkeeping tremendously through the straightforward online functionality. Then when it is time to submit accounts to DEB for compilation, it can be done with a single click.
Although I am now retired, I will be remaining a DEB client for my personal tax returns. I have no hesitation in recommending DEB to any business or individual for their accounting needs.
Andy Machin, Director, Zimzalabim Ltd
Working with Deb Accountants has been such a great help for my business. They really have taught me so much and have continuously supported my business.
Their expertise and attention to detail have not only saved me money but also provided invaluable insights into my financial health. They are always proactive, responsive, and go above and beyond to ensure my financial records are accurate and compliant. Using the Deb-on-Air system has also been a great help for my bookkeeping and is very user friendly.
I highly recommend Deb Accountants to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable accountant.Alison Horbury, Director, OLH Associates Ltd
I am very lucky to have DEB Accountants helping my business as it gives me more time to develop my business as I don’t have to spend my time on wages and bookkeeping.
It’s been quick, easy and safe for our communications and the sending financial documents with Deb Connect.
My annual meeting has been invaluable as David has given me sound advice on financial matters I didn’t know about which has helped me build a better, stronger more profitable business.
They were also a valuable safety net to me when I had a tax investigation, making it a lot smoother than it would have been otherwise.
DEB Accountants go a lot further than most with their help, advice and professionalism. I’m so pleased they are my accountants.
Sara Hunter, Director, Uniquehold Limited
We are a very small company and we were delighted that we would be eligible to avail of DEB's Debonair accounting package to enable us to meet our MTD deadline. It has proven itself a very stable product and it is incredibly easy to enter our bank transactions and to submit VAT returns to HMRC. Everything is recorded and everything is date/time-stamped.
The DEB-Connect portal is really useful too. It allows us to exchange emails (often with document attachments) with DEB staff in a secure environment Just like Debonair, everything on the portal is date/time-stamped and it's much quicker and easier than using the postal system and it means we can be paperless too.
