Testimonials

Please read some of the testimonials from our happy clients both in Liverpool and further afield.

After 10 years of business and 3 useless accountancy firms later, I can honestly say I have found the accountants every business owner needs.

They are more than just accountants, they are your personal Financial Director, they respond to phone calls and emails almost instantly,

if they don't know the answer to the question there and then (which would be rare) they will find out and get straight back to you, they go above and beyond for what I believe is a very fair price.

‘Many years ago, a few clients of our recommended MJF as accountants so we decided to give them a try and haven’t looked back. MJF Accountancy are very proactive in looking after all our accountancy needs. They recommended Xero to us and dealt with the transition from our old SAGE system so that we never lost any reporting or historic transactions. We are now fully compliant with all HMRC Making Tax Digital requirements and MJF accountants help us monitor and maintain our records so that we can see our profitability each month. The MJF team are always approachable and friendly but most of all they talk to us in simple, plain English and explain the reporting requirements and tax implications in an easy and understandable way. We would recommend Mike and his team 100%.’

‘We approached MJF when starting up our business in 2009 because we’d had some great personal recommendations, but we’ve stayed with them because of the consistently excellent service we have come to rely on. Whatever the query or problem, MJF always seem to find a simple (and usually cost-saving) solution. The advice we have received over the years has been vital in helping to grow our business. MJF constantly exceed expectations and we would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for friendly, no-nonsense business advice that goes a long way beyond traditional accountancy services.’

‘We moved to MJF Accountancy after several years with a larger practice in Manchester. We felt like a number and speaking to someone about any issues was not as simple as picking up the phone.’

MJF came recommended through a broker we were using. It was good to have a firm we could deal with who understood that our construction businesses needed a personal touch. We had some careful planning to do with two linked construction and property businesses which MJF helped to deal with HMRC and advise the best way to set them up to feed into each other. This took some pressure and stress off us as we knew we could trust him to deal with it correctly.

MJF now run our business and personal Tax, VAT and Payroll. I will often ring with a ‘what if’ question and get a quick answer or can meet up to discuss more involved matters.’

‘Do you have bin bags full of receipts hiding in cupboards like big huge scary monsters???? If you are like most people who work in the Creative Industry and the mere mention of accounts is enough to make your eyes water, then use MJF – you will not be disappointed.

I came to work with MJF Accountancy after a previous accountant had made a dire mess of my accounts. I can honestly say MJF saved my bacon and my business. Within minutes of our first meeting, they knew exactly what had gone wrong with the inexperienced previous accountant and worked quickly to make right the mess I had found myself in. MJF changed the structure of my company and reduced my tax bill by several £000s. I can honestly say the whole team have been a complete godsend.

Through the ongoing advice from Mike and the team, I have grown my company and increased my profits. The guys are always on hand and, most importantly for the fast paced industry I work in, they are quick to reply to any requests or questions. There is no aloofness with the team or several day waits for responses to questions – at all times there is somebody who will try their hardest to help me.

Dancers are notoriously bad at keeping accounts. The guys at MJF are so fantastic I now have a number of my dancers using their services too. Again all the feedback has been superb.

I can recommend MJF completely.’

‘We have been using MJF Accountancy for five or six years after being recommended to them by another business. We can’t speak any more highly about the service we have received. MJF have saved our company money and given us expert advice on a load of various financial subjects. We are so glad we were introduced to the business. Through the tough financial times, MJF have guided us along and we are still going strong. We will certainly be recommending MJF Accountancy to any friends or business associates in the future. Thank you again for all your help.’

‘MJF Accountancy provide a prompt, excellent and friendly service. I’m never left to feel rather stupid when asking the most obvious questions! I became a new client 18 months ago and have never looked back –only wish I’d done it sooner!’

‘Running a restaurant? Where do you start? Which PDQ to get, paying staff, supplier negotiations, insurance, telephone bookings, keeping the chef happy! The list is endless. Throw the tax man onto of all this and enough to put you off the whole thing. This is where MJF Accountancy has been invaluable to Spire Restaurant over the years. They have been instrumental in advising and then implementing procedures for the whole financial side of the business. VAT, PAYE, Corporation Tax etc. these are no longer areas of concern for us (well apart from paying them!) as MJF Accountancy help us every step of the way.

One particular area they excelled in was the staff payroll as this is where the majority of our issues come from. Part time, holiday pay, sick pay, maternity leave, joiner, leavers, P60s, etc. Need I say more?

Their rates are very reasonable for the level of service they provide and on top of this they have also provided us with ensuring we are paying the lowest possible costs in other areas such as bank charges and insurance rates.

If you want to see your accountant once a year when their bill is due then stay where you are. If however you want a friendly, approachable person to plan the business and personal tax / financial affairs then the guys at MJF Accountancy are the ones to call.’

‘When you’re running a small Environmental Health and Safety Consultancy you need to remain focussed around the day to day services that you provide. MJF take the hassle associated with the financial aspects of running a small business away so I can effectively continue to focus on my speciality. MJF simply know what they’re doing and ensure I’m in compliance with the relevant financial authorities. They balance effectively my PAYE activities with my consultancy work and ensure at the end of the day the authorities get what they are due and I get the just rewards for my hard work. I would recommend any business to fully utilise MJF’s expertise and competence in company financial management dealings and issues.’
