Coopers Country Limited I have always found Howard & Co to be both helpful and efficient in dealing with our Companyâs accountancy needs, as well as handling our payroll and related matters with HMRC and Companies House. Gary Howard and his staff are both knowledgeable and approachable and provide a professional friendly service covering all aspects of Company accountancy requirements. Neil Cooper Coopers Country limited
C & L Construction (BSE) Limited âHoward & Co has such a great reputation which is well deserved. We have always found them to be extremely efficient and are always on hand to answer any queries we have with our business, we would happily recommend them.â Lee Bailey. C & L Construction Ltd
I have known Gary and his company for more than 10 years personally and professionally. At all times the information and servies that Gary has offered have been first class, providing excellent and efficient year end figures for 3 companies I represent,along with offering an audit sercie for the largest of the 3 companies.In the addition to the above, both Gary and his staff have given sound advice on company and personal tax issues, computer packages and general buisness affairs. I would be more than happy to recommend his services to anyone.
We have received quite exceptional service from your staff in recent weeks. Due to unexpected staff changes here we became close to deadlines with Companies House which would have invoked penalites for late returns to Companies House. Your staff worked with me into the night to achieve the necessary filings before midnight. We would say this attitude to helping customers seems to be prevalent throughout your organisation. Congratulations and keep up the good work.
Thank You for a totally professional approach. First Class in every way.

Just a line to say 'Thank You' for all your help. I have found your firms approach refreshing and I appreciate your ability to provide me with a no nonsense accountancy service that fully meets my needs. I look forward to our conitnued relationship. Richard Sewell
Howard and Co have been providing accounting services to us for approximately 20 years and during this time have been a great help in difficult and good times. They give a personal service that particularly suits our needs and are always keen to offer advice and assistance without us worrying we will be overcharged. We find them very commercially minded and we look forward to enjoying our relationship for many years to come. I have no hesitation in recommending this company. Robert Orford of Miles-Water
