Experience with a personal touch

Last year I needed to open a new company – the service from David and Kay was excellent. Quick and efficient – they hit my short timescales – and set up Xero – all seamless and has simplified everything from bank reconciliations and VAT returns through to submitting my first year’s statutory accounts.

We first met David Mead and were introduced to his team over a decade ago. Since then we have worked closely with the firm. Throughout our lengthy association, Poolemead has consistently provided our businesses with insightful commercial advice, timely technical support and efficient administrative services. These have been invaluable to us as our enterprises have grown. They have also enabled us to plan for and navigate changes in fiscal and reporting regimes with the minimum of disruption. We have drawn upon David Mead’s extensive experience frequently, we trust the firm’s technical knowledge and professionalism implicitly, and we look forward to continuing to work with them.

Not only are you getting years and years of experience and expertise, but you're also working with an accountancy firm that genuinely cares about your business. There's a real sense of heart about what they do. Poolemead aren't just our accountants, they’re an integral part of our team and business - I can't recommend them highly enough.

Need an accountant who actually cares about you, your business and your wellbeing? David Mead and his wife Kay have handled my VAT and Tax Returns for many years, it has become a thriving family business, with their daughter, Hannah, joining them recently. They all clearly enjoy accounting - the numbers, the columns, balancing the figures - and are kind and empathetic alongside. Previously a teacher, Kay has the added ability to be able to explain complex tax issues clearly, and with all the recent tax changes I have queries aplenty! As a successful and busy watercolour artist and author, I travel a lot for my work and doing accounts has always represented an unwelcome interruption in my creative flow, but I am a stickler for accuracy and want to know detail, Kay and David provide it. Even when I ask the same question several times, they explain it again as if it were the first time. And best of all without making me feel stupid! This is a friendly and caring family team, and I feel safe in their hands.

“Debz and I have known David and Kay personally and from a business perspective for a number of years. In fact, David was our first ever accountant when we set up the first business up 28 years ago. His advice then and now is second to none. Wherever David has gone we have followed. Poolemead are retained by us for Omega Design’s accountancy services and our personal taxation. David and Kay are approachable and always available to answer any questions. The advice offered is always given in terms that are easily understood. They are trusted and valued friends and business associates. I cannot recommend their services highly enough.
