    Keith and the team are exactly what we were looking for in accountants They got us out of a corner when we first joined after the mess left by our previous accountants. As a small business, our account Manager Alex is always ready to help us and responds to phone calls and emails immediately. We came to KRW through a recommendation and I would highly recommend to anyone who needs an accountancy firm that you can build a relationship with.

  • KRW have been our business and personal accountants for 10+ years and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have been with us throughout the highs and lows of running our own business, supporting us in a highly professional, expert, friendly way. This work extended to to seeing us through our sale, dealing expertly with (and winning plaudits from) the third biggest publisher in the world, whom we sold to. They continue to expertly look after our personal accounts - Annette is quite simply brilliant at managing this for us, and is just lovely to deal with. Sandra has been amazing on the administration side down the years, and Keith, at the head of it all, has guided us with such canny intelligence and confidence born from knowledge and experience, that we always feel that he, and the team there, have our backs. They have also saved us a lot of money (and stress) down the years with highly effective planning and informed advice and guidance. This really is one brilliant business!

    I’ve been working with KRW Accountants for my business accounting, and I can confidently say they have been an invaluable asset to my business. Their expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail have made managing my finances significantly easier and more efficient. The team at KRW, in particular Laura who does my bookkeeping and Rachael who does our payroll, are responsive and approachable - no question is too small, and they consistently take the time to explain things clearly and thoroughly. Their support is reliable and tailored to the needs of my business. Thanks to KRW, I feel confident knowing my accounts are in excellent hands. I highly recommend their services to any business owner looking for trustworthy and proactive accountants.
