Why Choose Us

Beyond Compliance – Real Financial Value for Your Business

  • If I could give Elaine 10 stars, I absolutely would! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Elaine is one of the kindest, most incredible people, and having her as my accountant has honestly been such a blessing. She is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to truly understand your needs. As someone who can feel completely lost when it comes to accounting, I cannot express how much I appreciate her patience. She has literally held my hand through the whole process, explaining even the simplest things with so much patience, compassion and professionalism. She never makes you feel silly for not understanding something, and you can genuinely tell that she cares about the people she helps. I’ve had two accountants before Elaine, and the difference in the level of service has been extraordinary. She goes above and beyond, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. I would highly recommend Elaine and her services to anyone looking for an accountant who is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely kind, patient and caring. I’m definitely never letting her go! 😂❤️ We need more accountants like Elaine!

  • Excellent service from start to finish. We needed support with our first year accounts at very short notice and the team were incredibly responsive, professional and helpful. They managed to turn everything around extremely quickly, explained the process clearly and charged a very reasonable price, particularly given the timescale involved. As a start-up business, it was reassuring to deal with an accountancy firm that was flexible, approachable and genuinely supportive. We were very impressed with the service and will definitely be using them for our accounting needs moving forward. Highly recommended.

    Thomas Hourigan

  • I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Kieran- I brought him in as our business had gotten bigger, and we were struggling to ensure that the financial operations were working correctly. Our business involves multiple pieces of software and each one has it's own complexity and quirks- Kieran came on board, asked a ton of questions, listened and then got busy. After a reasonable time it felt like we've taken some good steps forward, and he's given me a lot of confidence to know that we've got the right systems and processes in place so that we know where we are. He's also done well to work across multiple companies and teams and is quick to respond and engage. Personally, he's a lovely guy who's easy to talk to (if you can understand his Scottish accent!) and he's someone who gives a lot more value than what you pay for. I've brough him on board for a short term project initially but can see us working together going forward, as he's provided a massive support to me and the business.

  • Elaine has been a massive help getting my finances in order and sorting out my self assessment. Having initially tried to do everything myself when I first became self employed and really struggling, Elaine helped me put in place simple but effective changes that have made it far easier for me to keep track of my finances and manage my expenses. Being able to rely on her to get the self assessment done right and being available to quickly respond to any issues I've had has really taken the stress out of running my business so I can focus on my work.

  • I engaged Kieran to help pressure-test the financial model behind a significant transition in my business, and I can't recommend him highly enough. From the outset he took the time to genuinely understand the mechanics of how the business operates, not just plugging in numbers, but interrogating the assumptions behind them. What stood out most was his attention to detail. He caught things I'd have missed entirely: timing on receivables and payables, inflated catch-all figures on the balance sheet, and the knock-on effects these had on the wider picture. He didn't just flag the issues, he explained them clearly and walked me through the implications, so I came away understanding the model rather than just owning it. He's also a pleasure to work with. Responsive, methodical, and happy to talk through scenario planning and the month-by-month narrative until I was fully confident in the output. He sent countless looms for me to refer back to in the event I needed to. The end result is a model I actually trust and can make decisions from. If you need a financial modeller who combines technical rigour with the ability to explain things in plain English, Kieran is your man. Five stars, no hesitation. Thank you!!!!

  • Reached out to Kieran as I had got myself in a situation where I was self employed but no idea where to start with filing personal tax. I was stressed about getting it sorted and worried about potential late fines. On our first meeting regarding it he assured me straight away that I had nothing to worry about which instantly helped me settle. On review of my situation he had stated that he felt he could point me in the direction of a contact he had who was more specialised in dealing with personal tax. From which he set up a meeting with him for me. 1 week later and my tax was filed and all the stress I had was totally alleviated. The service provided by KJMAS was second to none as Kieran knew there was someone better suited to help me in my situation and he pulled the strings to put us in touch. If I ever need any assistance again with any of my financial advice I will definitely be reaching out to KJMAS.
