We have built our business on recommendations, and are lucky to count amongst our clients many who have been with us for decades. We've even acted for three generations of one family!
Our clients have referred siblings, aunts, uncles, friends and acquaintances to us, and they in turn have referred people to us. We don't advertise; we grow from word of mouth.
We pride ourselves on the relationships we build, and the trust that clients place in us. Don't just take our word for it; here are some snippets of what our clients had to say about the work we do for them:
My thanks to Stoney Philbin for many years of friendly and professional service dealing with my small business and personal financial affairs. I have always been given expert and timely advice that is personally tailored to my needs as a client. The team have handled everything from payroll to tax, pensions to annual reports for me since 2005 and have represented great value for money during each year. Whether a formal tax submission or an informal phone call for a steer I have always been handled efficiently and respectfully - I could not have asked for more.

As a new business start up, Stoney Philbin have helped me to translate my business ideas into a straightforward business model that took off with immediate effect. Whilst there were various stresses and strains in the early days, accountancy and tax affairs were never a cause for concern thanks to the support provided by Sam and the team. There was no question too basic, and they always took the time to explain the reasons why things were done in a particular way, so that I gained a deeper understanding. This in turn helped me to make savvy financial decisions. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Stoney Philbin as my business matures, and would recommend the team to anyone else in my situation.

My tax affairs are normally very simple, so when I incurred a Capital Gains liability I knew I needed help. Stoney Philbin were recommended by a satisfied client and I found myself in safe hands. Sam calculated the liability and explained everything clearly. I never felt afraid to ask a ‘stupid’ question.
At the end of the tax year he reviewed the figures, which had been based on an estimate of my regular earnings, and found that a small refund was due. Welcome news, and probably not something I would have discovered if I had attempted to handle the case without professional assistance.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use Stoney Philbin again.
