After 40 years of running a business, I’ve used many accountancy companies. Without exception, I can recommend the Huddersfield office of Walter Dawson and Son for their efficiency, professionalism and friendliness. For the business I use them for all Sage accounting, payroll, tax advice and VAT. I also use them for all personal financial and tax advice for myself and my husband.
