Saved time and effort

Doing my self-assessment for the first time felt quite overwhelming, but Emily helped save me a lot of time and effort by patiently guiding me through the process.

When I asked her to highlight what I needed on the checklist after explaining that I am severely dyslexic, she kindly stopped me and offered to go through everything with me over the phone instead, This small act of kindness genuinely made a huge difference.

I truly believe Emily deserves recognition for going that extra step to support someone who needed it. Thank you, Emily, I really appreciate it!

My first connection with Coral

My first connection with Coral - very professional but still easy to chat to, offering lots of suggestions for making my company more tax efficient and optimising the way I do business.
Looking forward to working with her and the wider team.

We are an international Start-up and were really a bit lost.
Until now it has been an absolutely amazing experience with Helpbox. No matter if it was Ash, Ryan or Naomi. Everybody is kind and helpful and patient with us, who don't necessarily know all the twists and turns of the financial world.
We feel very well looked after and intend to make this a long-term business relationship, where we concentrate on the business and Helpbox guides us around the traps waiting for us.
Absolutely recommend.

Fabulous help

I have had some difficulties at first at Helpbox but my saving Grace has been Chloe Cox this young lady totally grasps my buisness’s ins and outs and has turned any problems I’ve had around and done it a really friendly way that has totally made me feel secure with Helpbox looking after my needs as a company director. I highly recommended her as someone to put your trust in.

Many thanks

Helpbox partnership really helps us

Helpbox stood out from our other options when we were looking for support with our company, because they have a very well structured team and workflows, they worked with us to get a more manageable deal and their people, Ryan, Ash, Naomi, to name just a few, have been nothing if not extraordinary in their ability to make sure we understand our responsibilities, while making every part of the ongoing process fell easy and smooth.

New lesson in life (Ethem)

New lesson in life

Having a pro-active accountant is extremely important.

Helpbox UK, well mainly I've dealt with Oliver and his team has been incredible and eye opening too.

Im in process of switching accountants to Helpbox Uk and very happy indeed with the move.

My previous accountant is a really good friend of mine but unfortunately his outfit is small and can't handle / accommodate all round pro active accounting.

Thank you
