Client Testimonials

Trevor Cherryholme

I have been with DEB Accountants for many years going as far back as David's early days based in Royston. DEB have always been very professional extremely knowledgeable and have assisted me over many years and many enterprises over those years. I have recommend DEB Accountants to family and associates in the past and would do so again without hesitation. DEB Accountants provide proactive management tools to ensure HMRC deadlines are adhered to.

Plus a regular news letter of current taxation issues that I have found invaluable in the managing of my business. Dave and his team are always available to take urgent enquiries provide assistance and help resolve issues promptly and professionally.

Kingston Jewellers Barnsley

I’ve been using DEB accountants for many years and their service is excellent, nothing is too much trouble, they deal with any queries quickly and they go above and beyond what I have experienced before.

‍

My business has definitely been more successful with their help and support along the way.Thank goodness I met them!

Graeme Wingate

My accounts were years behind (5 years), some other accountants we searched first said they couldn't help and wanted nothing to do with us.

‍

David, Lorraine and the rest of the team showed us how to keep the correct records, were patient with us telling us what they needed and just got on with it, now we are almost up to date. Best decision I made reaching out to them. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Michael Weston

DEB are the best accountants I have used over forty five years trading. they are well ahead in terms of making tax digital, and have developed their own software book keeping which is free to use and is compliant with HMRS, and DEB staff are quick to answer any questions you may have.

Rhian S

Absolutely fabulous, the team here are so knowledgeable, and friendly, they put a real focus on education, empowering you and teaching you how to be more effective with your bookkeeping and the reasons for doing things, making sure things make sense and “click”.

‍

I have gone from knowing nothing about bookkeeping, winging it and just passing a box of papers every quarter to an accountants, to completing my own VAT returns! Cannot recommend highly enough

I have been dealing with the DEB team since 2009. I have always found them to be friendly and professional.

First started using DEB in 1987 and now on my third stint as self-employed I find them very easy to get along with and their Deb-on-air system is very easy to use.
