IR35 reforms taking their toll on skilled contractors

From first going self-employed to starting a limited company, the fantastic accountants at Sage have talked me through the processes and looked after all things accounts-related, leaving me with peace of mind; free to focus on the day-to-day operating of the business. Sage handles everything for me from payroll to tax returns and their service is flawless; when I need something its done; when I need info I get it. All of their staff are friendly, professional, efficient and patient and I couldn’t manage without them.

Lisa Boreham, The House Name Plate Company Limited   

What I value most about working with Sage is that I can speak directly to the lady who does my accounts pretty much whenever I want to. I feel she understands my business and is a very good listener. That’s what is important to me. The personal touch.

Over the past 35 years, the team at Sage & Co have been an integral part of our business. They help us with detailed monthly management accounts, efficient year-end planning, and drama-free payroll processing. These are things that you’d expect from a firm of accountants of course, but what sets Sage & Co apart is the personal, almost family, connection. They take time to understand our ambitions and interests and never hesitate to speak up when they feel there’s a contribution to be made to the dialogue. They are an extension of our management team who bring a fresh perspective, and allow us to get on with growing our business!

Neil Coleclough, GE Tools Limited   

We are exceptionally happy with the service and support we receive from the staff at Sage & Co.

They are always available to help and nothing is too much trouble. They often go above and beyond what is expected and we consider them a crucial part of our operations. They combine a highly professional service with a very friendly and supportive approach. We always feel like we are in safe hands. We would highly recommend them to any company or individual.

Paul O’Donoghue, Wildcat Haven CIC   

Sage were very professional and helpful when sorting out my mum’s tax returns. They dealt with everything efficiently and effectively, but more importantly very quickly so that no penalties were incurred. Sage explained everything and made the process simple, as previously I had found it overwhelming. I will be using their services every year from now on.

My firm and family can only but support and endorse your endeavours. Thank you for your ever willing help, from all colleagues at every level of Sage and Company, to reduce any concerns that I may have had to enable my life to be as ‘stress free’ from as many ‘financial worries’ as painlessly as it is possible to be, and with such a pleasant attitude and disposition.

It’s refreshing working with such a friendly and focused team in the accountancy world. I have no hesitation in recommending Sage & Co no matter how small or complex your enquiry might be.

Dealing with Sage and Co has always been straightforward and easy, their cost effective services provide me with the peace of mind that my business is in good hands!

Benjamin Griffin - Great Escapes Wales Ltd   

Sage & Company have been associated with my family for over 50 years – probably since Eric Sage began the accountancy business!  Thus our links go back to my grandfather’s days when he became involved in the holiday camp business.  Since then our family have remained in holiday parks and Sage & Co have continued to provide us with expert and professional support and advice, not just for the business but for the family’s tax affairs too.  The whole team are prompt and friendly in dealing with any request and I have no hesitation in recommending them.  I  look forward to continuing our relationship with Sage.

Arthur Jones  Golden Vale (Caravans) Ltd 

“We have owned and managed, a number of companies of the last 25 years and Sage & Company have remained our advisors for each and every one of those businesses. They are an outfit that operates with a passionate vigour and knowledge and remain committed to meeting both our company and personal needs. We recognise that our organisations can be demanding at times yet the team at Sage & Company have always surpassed these requirements in a professional and courteous way.

During certain transactions, buying and selling elements of our organisations, over the years we have worked with a few of the big 4 accountancy firms. We have always remained with Sage & Company as there offering is ‘best value’ and we do not hesitate in recommending them”

Peter Parry - Nexus Connect Limited   

“Slaters North Wales Limited have been with Sage & Co as our auditors and advisors through 3 generations of the Knowlson family over a period of perhaps 90 years! Back in the early years businesses were associated much more with personal relationships which seem to be lost in the modern world of large PLC accounting firms and the banking world. The Sage and Co of today continue to deliver that personal service whilst at the same time providing a very professional and wide ranging service over and above the traditional audit services of the past.”

C Knowlson – Slaters North Wales Limited   

After appointing Sage for initial tax advice two years ago, we have now moved all our accountancy needs to Sage and Co.
This is due to the team at Sage and Co. supporting us above and beyond all expectations.  Their service can only be described as professional, proficient, proactive and personable.
We very highly recommend them to anyone looking for great all round accountancy support.

Charles Kinsey   

For the past 11 years Sage and Company have provided us with an outstanding service. They are friendly and approachable and are always on hand to provide advice. Their constant support and assistance has alleviated the pressures on our small team and has helped to move the Charity forward.

We have worked with Sage & Co for around 18 months and have found them to be most helpful, with an “I’m on the end of the phone” attitude you are made to feel valued as a customer and have confidence that when you need their help they are there.
The staff are very professional and the advice and expert knowledge leaves you knowing that you are getting an excellent service from them.
