Very knowledgeable and easy going, been able to discuss any doubts in a friendly and professional way with Paddy and Coral. So far they've gone beyond any expectations.

Helpful and Responsive

Ash and Coral have both been fantastic in helping me with onboarding. Knowing nothing about starting my own company, they have been really helpful and responsive in making the process as smooth as possible.

Self Assessment handled by Necil

I had an urgent tax return that needed filing in order to avoid getting a bill when I actually should have been due a rebate. Necil was sensitive to the urgency of the situation, very prompt and effective at getting everything sorted. I can't recommend her enough!

Lewis Jay and Oliver are great.

Lewis Jay and Oliver are great.

From a departing customer due to inconsistencies with communication and a horrendous ticketing system that im sure works great internally, but from the receiving end prepare to explain everything multiple times over to several individuals accross varying departments.

For each person who is super helpful and really strives to do their best, there are two or three that simply pass the book and rely on the ticket delays to reply to communication sent on a Monday, who then respond at 16:29 on a Friday, dragging out issues over weeks.

The V.A.T team are great. Front line staff do their best. Thankfully I had Oliver do my last accounts. The 4 stars are for them.

Helpful accountants - yes please

Helpful, quick and above all human service from accountants and client service people at Helpbox. We are quite new clients but so far we would recommend them to any start up business. They answer clearly and completely to our questions.

Unresponsive, late, unreliable

I have to call helpbox's urgent help line any time I want them to work on anything, my requests are repeatedly ignored, and I'm regularly ghosted by their agents who promise to look into things for me.
Helpbox has misfiled my forms and led to temporary loss of liquidity in my company by delays they have caused. Helpbox having poor overview of my payroll and refusing to deal with it has caused me to incur fines.
Every time I speak to a helpbox agent, they have no overview of my company's situation, and I feel like I have to 'start again' every filing several times.
Get an accountant who can have a personal relationship with you, not this lifeless agency that ignores and forgets you exist.
