I've worked with Claire and her team since opening an office locally a little over two years ago. I wanted to use an accountant near the new office and they are excellent to deal with and have proved very reliable. Claire and the team at Clarand are very responsive and have been proactive in meeting my needs, which has allowed me to concentrate on developing my business.

We have used Clarand now since early 2020, and we have been thoroughly impressed with the accounting service provided. Claire is very knowledgeable, and always very responsive. The same applies to Izzy who also provides us with excellent support with accounts and our use of the ‘Xero’ accounting platform. I would have no hesitation in recommending Clarand

Very helpful, calls quickly couldn’t be more helpful highly recommended.

As a small local business it’s important to get a good local accountant. Can’t fault the service. Always on hand when needed and very quick to respond to queries. Very professional.

I have used Clarand accountants for several years now and always have received excellent service from the team very professional . Happy to take time to run through my accounts. (with a great cuppa made too ) can't recommend the team enough.

Clarand do everything that our business needs from an accountancy perspective, whether that’s advising on our monthly management accounts, preparing our end of year accounts or planning for the future. Claire is knowledgeable professional and cool-headed – we love dealing with her and her team.

Claire, Izzy and the team at Clarand have been a joy to work with. Over the last 7 years of trading we have had 3 accountants, all based around the country. I can honestly say that Clarand are the most impressive and supportive accounting team we have had, with a real understanding for our business, and eagerness to go above and beyond to support. I would highly recommend their services to any business out there who wants accountants that work with you as you grow.

Clarand have been a fantastic support for us - helping us understand a myriad of rules and regulations, and supporting us with payroll, accounting and taxation. They always explain the processes clearly, respond quickly and are available to assist when needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to companies in a similar position to ourselves.

We have been a client of Clarand Accountants for over a year now and not looked back, from the outset we were impressed with their support transferring our account to them.

We have found the entire team to be knowledgeable, professional, and proficient. One of their key elements is their quick response and approachable way of working and are readily available and glad to help and offer advice and support immediately.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Clarand Accountants to our family, friends, and other businesses.

I've worked with Claire and her team for three years now and they're excellent to deal with. Great financial advice and lovely bunch of people too.

I’ve known Claire for about 3 years now. She and the team at Clarand have taken away all the headache of accounting and let me concentrate on what I do. A fantastic service, very efficient and a great bunch of friendly people to work with.

Over the last few years Claire and the team at Clarand have totally restored my faith in Accountants. I began working with them after a previous accountant had provided some really terrible advice which turned out to be very costly. The team have proven to be competent, professional and supportive .
Throughout lockdown the information and guidance provided has been invaluable for a small business.
Following the work that the team have done to get everything back in order they recently provided training to enable me to take more control of my accounts , the training was delivered excellently and the continued support amazing.
I can't thank Claire , Iain and Becca enough and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

We have been working with Claire and the team to get a new business up and running. The support and advice has been absolutely outstanding, really helpful and knowledgeable and prompt. Incredibly professional service and great people to work with. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Claire and the team do a fantastic job for our business each and every month. The team are very responsive and have been very dynamic in meeting our target dates.

I’ve used Clarand since 2012, and have always found their service excellent. Claire and her team are very knowledgeable and are always there to answer any queries I may have. I have recommended several of my own clients use their services and have always had good feedback from them.

Have been with Clarand Accountants for 3 years now and have always found Claire and her team to be very competent and professional in their accountancy advice to us. They have also been very tolerant of our continuous pleas for technical support for our SAGE Accounts system.

Having set up my business in 2017 it was always important to me to find an accountant who I could trust and who understood my business and what I was wanting to achieve in addition to offering a very consistent, robust, customer focussed service which is key to me.

Clarand are wholly professional in their approach whilst offering a very bespoke, personal service which always puts the customer first - an easy thing to say but not something many people can deliver.

As my business has grown over the last 2 years or so I have asked Claire to take on more and more of my financial work which leaves me free to build up my business 100% confident that the foundations of my business are rock solid and that I have fantastic support during a sustained period of rapid growth.

I literally couldn't recommend Claire and the team any higher.

I found Clarand through recommendation and after an initial consultation with Claire, decided to switch all of my business and personal accounting needs to Clarand. From the very outset, Claire was concise, clear and extremely knowledgable about how best to manage my circumstances and ensure that my businesses and my personal affairs were most appropriately organised. I’ve now been with Clarand for 2 years and have always found them extremely helpful. I think it is rare to find an accounting firm with the expertise and knowledgable of Clarand, combined with the ability to balance the customer experience so well. Small business owners need strong partners behind them to allow them to focus on running their business rather than worrying about the detail. Clarand have done this for me. They treat my queries and questions with promptness and professionalism at all times and have helped me operate my businesses in the knowledge and confidence that my accounting obligations are dealt with effectively. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

As a family-run business finding a good accountant was really important to us as we have very little spare time and need to make sure all of our accounting is done accurately and promptly. Claire and the team at Clarand Accountants have been great, they have been patient with us as we had limited financial knowledge and also ensured we fully understand our accounts which is crucial for our financial management of the business. Claire has helped us to implement easy and practical recording procedures and make changes to our business to facilitate our continued success. I would highly recommend Clarand Accountants and look forward to working with them for many years to come.

Before working with Clarand, we had a very low opinion of accountancy firms. Our niche business and complicated accounting set-up didn’t fit with the one-size-fits-all approach we received from several previous accountants. This was both confusing, costly and demoralising.

We then moved to Clarand, who immediately got to work in putting an effective and understandable accounting process in place. Their advice on the complicated elements such as VAT was nothing short of exceptional. They have allowed us to grow and plan for subsequent future growth. I would highly recommend their relaxed, personable and supportive approach for any SME.

Working with Clarand allows us to play close to the ball. We are processing payments and receipts via our smartphones and tablets while Clarand has got a real-time overview of the financial transactions. It allows us to keep our records up to date and I can access all relevant financial information with the click of a button. Clarand is an early adaptor in the UK of Cloud based accounting and I can recommend everyone to join them.

I moved to Clarand because I wanted an accountant who worked to understand my business and showed an interest in what we do. Claire immediately got to grips with the operation and made very useful suggestions to improve our operation. She also took time to explain the detail and produced the accounts well within deadline even though it was a very short time-frame. We have received a very professional and prompt service from Clarand.

Clarand are, as they claim, friendly and approachable accountants. Although my business is very small, from a customer perspective I wasn't made to feel that way. My tax affairs were dealt with in an extremely efficient and prompt manner and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. They offer a completely confidential and up to date service utilising cloud technology which was a joy to use. A great service.

The advice we have received from Claire in a matter of weeks has been more valuable in setting us on the right track to grow business and increase turnover than we have had in years with larger firms. She looks at what we need, hunts out low cost opportunities in much more detail, executes ideas and business plans as well as keeping us right on our general finances and payroll for our staff. Claire understands the challenges facing small independent businesses and because I have known her for many years, meant that there was an additional trust factor already and we are proud to welcome her back as part of our extended family.

We have recently moved our accounts and bookkeeping across to Clarand Accountants and we can honestly say that we have experienced a service second to none. Very professional, always available and willing to assist outside of normal working hours. Flexibility has been the key for us and we have received this along with a fantastic service. Highly recommended!

We would highly recommend Clarand Accountants for their efficient and expert approach. Having been with our previous accountant for over twenty years, the support through the move to Clarand has been first class. Bringing us up to date with the latest accounting programs has been a welcome revelation. Thank you for everything!

I first approached Claire when I was considering starting up my own business. Clarand accountants couldn’t have been of more help to me, they have given me great help, support and advice. Since setting up my business Claire has been at the end of a phone and replied to emails almost immediately. Their rates are so fair and reasonable and they are very flexible to suit my needs. I couldn’t thank or praise this company enough.

I held business and personal accounts with the same firm of mid-range provincial Accountants for 30 years, so the switch to Clarand was a big decision. I have not regretted it!

Preparation of accounts is quick and responses to ongoing queries are prompt and to the point. Clarand are also refreshingly pro-active providing information on important changes in legislation and other guidance. The whole team is good fun to work with and I feel I now have much better, overall accountancy services, which I would be happy to recommend.

I would like to say a big thank you to Clarand accountants, as a self employed tradesman I find that Clarand accountants provide a highly professional yet personal service, they are always quick in offering advice and support and I will be continuing to use their services.
Thanks again.

As someone who is new to starting a business and following a recommendation of Clarand, I was delighted to find this firm of accountants as good as promised. Their warm welcome and patience with my inexperience is matched by their professionalism and knowledge. Clarand are a pleasure to work with and I have already recommended them to others.

I was uptight about the accountancy side of my business when I set up Canny Marshall Ltd in 2013. It was a constant niggling worry. Missing a deadline, not doing something right, misunderstanding HMRC requests. Clarand have removed that worry.

They understand me and my business and respond quickly and thoughtfully to my questions and queries. They explaining things in a straight forward manner and don’t use accountancy jargon. If I’m ever baffled they’re just on the end of the phone. To top it all they’re lovely, genuine folks who are great to talk to. They’re not your run of the mill accountancy firm, and that’s why they’re right for me and my business.

I consider myself lucky to have found such great Accountants in Clarand. My accounts are processed quickly and efficiently and they have always taken the time to offer professional and business advice when I’ve needed it to help my business run a lot smoother.

Clarand accountants have provided a helpful service to a small business like our own. Working flexible hours to allow my time schedule not to be interrupted was and is a great benefit to any business. The prompt delivery of final accounts without any great effort from ourselves was impressive. We look forward to working with Clarand accountants in the future.

After being with the same accountancy firm for 25 years, we decided to try the services of Clarand and I am very pleased that we did. Clarand provide an excellent service, they take time to understand your business and nothing is too much trouble. I would definitely recommend them.

Clarand Accountants offer a modern and bespoke approach to accountancy services and deliver it in a highly professional manner.

I approached the team at Clarand in the first year of my new small business and they have been indispensable ever since. They have helped organise my accounts using my bookkeeper’s choice of cloud based technology and allowing me to focus on growing the business. They are always there for those day to day inquiries with prompt and informed responses. The annual accounts are no longer a concern with the knowledge they are in safe hands.

Thanks guys, I can’t recommend you highly enough.

I chose to use the services of Clarand because in truth, I trust them. In deciding to go self-employed, I met with a number of other accountants, who lost my attention after five minutes with their financial jargon and complexities. However, Clarand simplified this as they talked me through what I need to do, when I need to do it and they take care of the rest. They offer a very professional service which is suitable and sufficient to my needs at a reasonable cost and they are always on hand when I need advice.

I would highly recommend Clarand Accountants to anybody who is wishing to start on their journey of being self-employed.

I have been a client of Clarand for two years following the retirement of my previous accountant. I could not be happier with the work that they have carried out on my behalf and have no hesitation in recommending their services to others.

I approached Clarand with the view to having a tax return completed and filed with HMRC on my behalf. I found that Clarand provided a very professional and efficient service and were thorough when explaining matters. The tax return was completed promptly and I am extremely satisfied with the service I received.

I would certainly use them again in the future and would recommend Clarand to anyone seeking assistance with their financial matters.

We had our previous accountant for over 30 years, after his retirement, we were introduced to Clarand. Although the change was very daunting, there was no need for trepidation. They have been acting on our behalf for over a year now and with the knowledge and professionalism of Claire the transition has been smooth and seamless.

Claire has been exceptional! Speedy, efficient and dedicated to our business, and we’ve felt very well taken care of.

After almost 20 years with the same accountants (with no problems) it was a big step for me to move to Clarand but it has proven to be a positive move.

The information, advice and help they have given me in the short time I have been one of their clients has been excellent and has always been given in easy to understand terms. They are easy to talk to and are proving to be a real asset to my business.
