Solid, Trustworthy and Proactive Accountancy Firm

I´ve been using Savvy for my Ltd company accounts, payroll and Self Assessments for some years now. I have found them to be friendly, proactive and honest throughout. They are punctual and professional when it comes to filing time and their monthly fee for the services I´m subscribed to are very reasonable in comparison to some other firms in London. I have no hesitation in recommending Alex and the team at Savvy Accounting.

Avoid

Avoid. An absolutely awful experience. Would regularly send the wrong forms for me to complete, and would be rude when I queried them. Gave wrong information resulting in a fine from HMRC. I could never get hold of her so issues would go on for weeks. Really stressful experience as a new small business. Would not recommend.

Hi Sarah,

I’m genuinely sorry to read that this was your experience and that you felt stressed during what can already be a challenging time as a new business owner.

We take feedback seriously, and it’s disappointing to hear that you felt let down. As your engagement with Savvy concluded in 2022, we would of course be happy to review our records to understand the points you’ve raised, including the issue you mention regarding HMRC.

Since then, we’ve continued to invest heavily in our systems, processes, and team to ensure clear communication, accuracy, and timely support for our clients.

If you would like to discuss this further or provide any additional detail, please do feel free to contact me directly so we can look into it properly.

Not a personal approach.

I had a recent email from Savvy Accounting entitled "A quick favour from your accountant" asking for a review, despite the fact I am no longer their client. As I was approached and asked for a review, I'm happy to provide it.

When I initially met with Alex (the owner) I was looking for a local accountant to provide me with a personalised experience for my small business (I'm a sole trader). A lot was promised at our initial meeting, but I didn't feel it was delivered.

Most of my bookkeeping was processed remotely, receipts uploaded by me or emailed to an email address for them to be uploaded etc. I didn't feel like I was getting a personalised approach at all, or any accounting advice of any real value to me as a new business. Queries were met with a very brief answers most of the time from Alex or she'd direct me to the bookkeeper instead and then remind me me how much they would charge me per hour to speak to them. It eventually felt a little too much like my needs weren't very important to them at all. Very efficient with charging for every interraction, less interested in a personalised or personal approach.

I was happy to part ways with them and am now with an accounting firm where it's a much nicer experience for me.

I was new to working with an accountant when I enlisted the help of Savvy Accounting and I suppose what I learned from being their client was what I didn't want from my accountant and the type of relationship which was important for me, so that was helpful.

I wouldn't recommend them, unfortunately.

Hi LM,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with Savvy Accounting didn’t meet your expectations, and I appreciate you outlining the areas that felt disappointing for you.

Our intention is always to provide a personalised service while also giving clients the flexibility of efficient digital bookkeeping tools. I’m sorry this didn’t translate into the experience you were hoping for, especially as a new business owner at the time.

Regarding the review request you received, this was sent in error to a small number of former clients, and I apologise for any frustration this caused.

I’m glad to hear you’ve now found an accounting setup that works well for you, and I truly wish you and your business every success going forward. If you ever feel there’s anything we can clarify or improve based on your experience, I’m always open to hearing from you directly.

Warm regards,
Alex

Poor quality service full of costly mistakes

The accountant I used at Savvy (Alex, who I understand is the owner) made more than one mistake over the four years I employed her to do my relatively straightforward tax returns. I got fed up with having to check things carefully, so I switched firms and my new accountant also picked up other things that Savvy had got wrong over the years. I think Savvy are very reasonable, but therefore are slap-dash in their approach to be able to deliver cheaper fees to clients. Sadly, before I realised this, I had recommended Savvy to a friend, who suffered from a much larger tax calculation mistake by Savvy and then had to pay penalties to HMRC due to the Savvy error. Savvy have refused to take responsibility and my friend has been left out of pocket (despite evidence to show that my friend had questioned the amount and been told that she was wrong). Whilst I appreciate our experiences have all been down to one member of the Savvy team, our understanding is that this person owns the company. I would therefore strongly recommend using an alternative firm.

I’ve used Savvy Accouting for nearly 10 years now. It provides an excellent, unfussy service that usually resulted in a rebate from HMRC covering the cost of the service and then some!

We were very happy with the accounts drawn up by Savvy. As new customers, they had to familiarise themselves with our particular income sources. All went well. Next year should be even easier as we know each other better. We have had the same accountant for years but he retired. Now we are confident that savvy will make our accounts stress free in future.

Not Suitable for Charities – Poor Understanding of Charity Accounting

We engaged Savvy Accounting as a small grassroots charity, believing their team understood the key differences between accounting for a charity and for a small business. Unfortunately, when it came to preparing our annual accounts, it became clear that this was not the case.

Basic information was handled incorrectly, and the year-end accounts were not prepared in line with charity regulations or reporting standards. We later had to appoint another accountant to correct their work, and two independent firms have since confirmed that the accounts were not compliant with charity accounting requirements.

Our experience has been both costly and stressful. If you are a charity, I would strongly advise you to look elsewhere for an accountant with proven experience in the not-for-profit sector.
