Edward and Ashley went above and beyond when completing our recent VAT return. The accounts arrived with them on Tuesday, the VAT return was submitted on the Friday. Amazing service. Thankyou. We highly recommend.

We have used Edward at Maynard Johns for the last few years after having had a poor experience with a previous accountant.Since then it has been a breath of fresh air. Not being great with accountancy and having limited understanding I have needed things explained to me in almost "puppets and crayons" terms and Edward has done this with no judgement whatsoever.There has never been any issues or concerns and there is ALWAYS a personal touch with any call or meeting whether at their office or online.Their frontline staff are friendly and approachable and understand any questions you may have. Support with tech and Apps has been outstanding and they have provided guidance and support with these.Edward has gone out his way on occasions for our business and I could not emphasise how much this has been appreciated.Costs have ALWAYS been given to us and queries have been addressed in a professional manner and explained in the correct way so as to understand.Having had a fear of all things "accountancy" and a dread that fills me with anxiety I could not have found someone better for our business.

When my accountants were taken over by Maynard John's my first thoughts were that the prices were going to rise substantially, went up a minimal amount which my old accountants would have done anyway so really pleased.Main benefit is that I don't have to visit the office to pick up papers to sign etc as its all done on openspace which is all a plus, in all a smooth transition.

My husband and I came to Maynard Johns after a terrible experience with a previous accountant which left us pretty traumatised.Both Edward and the team were patient, professional, diligent, yet pragmatic throughout, and got all of our tax returns, receipts and ledgers back on track.We now feel that we have. much better handle on our finances and we're no longer terrified by brown envelopes that come through the door, because we know that Edward and the team have given us strong-forward planning views of our finances.We have recommended the team to lots of friends, and will continue to do so.

I have been using Maynard Johns for 5 years and have been consistently impressed with their knowledge and customer service. Jane Maynard is always available and her advice has proven to be both pragmatic and tax efficient. I'm look forward to a long term relationship with Jane and the team at Maynard Johns. I would have no hesitation in recommending Maynard Johns to anyone wanting good sound financial advice, regardless if you are a sole trader or the owner of a large portfolio of businesses.
