Anthony explains: “It’s been an unprecedented business environment over the last few months, but I’m pleased to say that I’ve managed to assist my clients with the various government support schemes. I’ve now opened the new shop, which looks fantastic and is in a great location with convenient parking close by. I look forward to welcoming new and existing clients to arrange a visit.

“Having lived in the Ashford area for over ten years, I feel I have a good understanding of the local business environment and am passionate about supporting my fellow small businesses through the coronavirus pandemic and beyond. I would encourage anyone interested in finding out more about our services to contact us to book a free initial consultation – which can be either face-to face, by telephone or online. We provide a comprehensive tax, accountancy and advisory service to small businesses and can talk clients through a range of software solutions, to help them select the right package for their needs.”
