    Client Testimonials

    Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our clients have to say about working with us.

    The Beefy Boys

    We’ve been working with Sara and the team at Kingscott Dix since the very beginning of The Beefy Boys, and they’ve been there to support us at every stage of our journey. As we’ve grown as a company, they’ve provided not only an amazing service with our accounts, but also invaluable advice and guidance as we’ve navigated different periods of growth, expansion and investment. They’ve genuinely been a hugely important part of our journey, and we wouldn’t be the business we are today without the support of Sara and the team at Kingscott Dix.

    Aitch & Aitch Bee Events

    Kingscott Dix made the set up and transition from our existing bookkeeping system very easy and any queries that we had were quickly dealt with.

    Emma Willis Limited

    Kingscott Dix have been the accountants for both our London retail business, Gloucester manufacturing headquarters and charity for over 10 years and I can't fault them.

    Alice Lowe

    Blackhouse Farm Limited

    KD started us on Xero last year. As a very non–tech book keeper I was daunted at the start, but found it very straight forward to use. I had excellent back up from Paul Murphy and whenever I had tech questions they were answered quickly and in a language I could understand. Xero now saves me considerable time especially with the input of invoices, and also at the end of accounting year.

    Helen & Mark

    Aitch and Aitch Bee Events

    From the first discussion about the benefits of the Xero package, Kingscott Dix made the set up and transition from our existing book keeping system very easy. We have found it user friendly and any queries that we had were quickly dealt with. We have to say it has revolutionised our book keeping saving us time and giving so much more key business information.

    R Ledger

    A To B Contracting Ltd

    Kingscott Dix have been incredibly helpful since I decided to go self-employed. They have made everything very simple to understand and helped me make informed choices about how to effectively manage the financial side of my company. They are very accessible when I have questions and explain things in plain English!

    Gabbs Solicitors

    The staff at Kingscott Dix are friendly and approachable and we are very pleased with their prompt and efficient payroll service.

    David Glenn

    Kingscott Dix were our personal and business accountants for many years. During this time they supported us admirably, assisting in the management buyout, ongoing audits and dealing with VAT/HMRC assessments etc. Finally assisting in the successful trade sale of the business. We always felt Kingscott Dix were as passionate about our business as we were. Subsequent to the sale they assisted in our investment strategy including setting up a Family Investment Company and another trading company. They continue to provide excellent accounting and tax advice for our personal and business interests.

    Cliff Thrussell

    Optimum Oils Limited

    ……’’we turned to Kingscott Dix 5 years ago as we weren’t happy with our existing accountants, we carried out a cost and value analysis on 6 companies and Kingscott Dix came out on top. We definitely haven’t been disappointed. They have undertaken not only accounts preparation and tax work, but also plenty of project work including the acquisition of a new subsidiary company. They provide an excellent service and are approachable and innovative and above all they offer real value’’

    Sarah Stallard DipPFS

    Kingscott Dix have been my business and personal accountants for a number of years now. They have always been incredibly helpful in all aspects of my business and personal accounting; often working to tight deadlines for me. They take the time to explain things to me in a very friendly, clear, comprehendible way and for this reason I have felt very confident recommending them to my clients. The spread of knowledge across Kingscott Dix has enabled me to put complex tax issues to them which have always been resolved in a very timely fashion. I would highly recommend their services.

What started out as a daunting prospect at another burden on a small business was eased by an efficient and professional service.

    If you can’t measure it you can’t manage it. With annual forecasts and monthly management accounts drawn up and prepared by Kingscott Dix we have been able to measure how the business is performing each month against targets. This process has informed our business decision making and the management of our funds.

    Roger P

    Having used Kingscott Dix for very many years, I can say that they have made sure that the company I work for are kept up to date and their accountants are excellent at finding and correcting our teams errors! In fact, I would go as far as saying they have pretty much trained us in how not to make the mistakes. The advice we receive is always useful and accurate. They have a great team and I am always thankful that they are there.

    Michael Collins

    Kingscott Dix have simplified my life! I’ve been in business one way or another for over 40 years and in that time worked with one man band accountants and larger firms; where I’ve been passed from pillar to post for different activities. Not with KD, specifically Paul and his team have made dealing with my business and personal accounts an absolute pleasure! I have one point of contact, I don’t have to check if it’s been done; it has; I don’t have to check understanding as it’s understood! I have Recomended Paul and his team specifically to both family and friends. 5 stars without even thinking. Thank you Paul and the Team. 🙏

    Our annual accounts were recently completed by Emma Steward of Kingscott-Dix. We are a medium sized charity (Newent Association for the Disabled) The service was excellent. She answered any questions we had promptly and clarified any issues . Emma was great to work with and made several recommendations which will make things easier (and cheaper) in the future. We will definitely be using them again in the future and would advise others to do likewise.

    Kay Richardson
