Brooke is always responsive, polite, friendly. Grateful she is there. I never have to chase or follow up on messages as she seems always on top of my books as required and needed And she chases me down for info just the right amount. Thanks Brooke!

Over the last 10 years, my business has received excellent accountancy service from Meades Contractors. Their approach to small and medium businesses is effective, efficient and considerate. The tools provided, including the book keeping package are excellent, and the attention of accountants and client managers is exemplary. I recommend their service.

Having used Meades for over 10 years from a company and personal point of view, I cannot recommend them highly enough. I sleep at night knowing everything is in order and at very reasonable rates too! You won't regret working with the Meades team.

I’ve worked with Meades for several years. They provide 5 star service. Can’t praise them enough. Any questions are answered promptly. They are there to give you the best advice. Professional and customer centric. I will not hesitate to recommend Meades to anyone. Natasha G has been super helpful. Thanks very much.

Having worked with the team at Meades for the past 4 years I can only commend them on their great service, solution for the small business and friendly manner. It has allowed me to focus on running the business knowing they have our back and are attending to the complexities we all face when having to satisfy the ever changing demands of HMRC.

Switched to Meades from a more expensive accountant and this company has done far more for me than the other one did!

It's great to work with the Meades team. I am growing my own business, Starboard Thinking, which advances business culture and performance (and I judge for The Business Culture Awards); so I recognise the high standards & exceptional customer focus which the Meades team deliver to their clients.I'm happy to recommend Meades to friends and family - there's no higher praise than that!
