What our clients say

We were introduced to Syers McGill to look at how we were operating our second had VAT scheme (Global Accounting Scheme). Dan and his team identified c£160k in VAT errors made by our previous accountant and they were able to successfully claim this back from HMRC. We now use them for all our accounting services and couldn’t be happier with them.

Syers McGill have set us up on Xero and their ‘hands-on’ approach has been just what we needed. We can now see how the business is performing on a monthly basis which gives us the oversight to be able to plan for the future.

Dan and team have provided an excellent service, especially being new to Xero, their guidance has been a great help. Would highly recommend to any local SME.

I work with a lot of accountants and I have to say I've found Michaela to be the most efficient one yet! A pleasure to work with.

Great service, great advice, very professional.

Dave and the team at Syers McGill prepared my accounts within two weeks of my company year end and helped me plan my tax liabilities for the next two years.

As new business owners we've needed a lot of extra support and advice over the past few months. Dan is our accountant and has been great - he is very responsive and always happy to help.
