"Paul Barron prepared our annual accounts last year. Since we're a small but growing charity, we needed an accountant who could set up a good system for us and answer our questions as we filed accounts for the first time. Paul was friendly, responsive and able to work within our tight budget. He's always been accessible on email and by phone, and if he can't answer a question right away, he researches it and comes back to us with a response. We're very happy with the service we've received so far." Liz McDowell, The Otesha Project UK

"We set up our company in 2007 and involved Paul Barron from the onset. His experience was invaluable and having him there set our minds at rest knowing that we were fulfilling all our statutory obligations. He looks after our payroll and has guided us through VAT registration, tax and on keeping our accounts. He quickly gets back to us and doesn’t mind answering queries as they come up. We have found him to be extremely honest, friendly and professional at all times and we would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anybody. Paul cares about the service he gives; he knows all his clients individually and therefore can give a professional service you just don’t get with bigger, less personal companies. I look forward to a long and mutually successful association with Premier Bookkeeping." Jackie Lewis, Lewis Surveying Associates

"At the end of 2006 I made a decision to change my accountant to Paul Barron and Premier Bookkeeping - I say without hesitation that this was the best move I have made in a long time. Whilst I am not sure I will ever 'enjoy' the bookkeeping and accountancy side of running a small business, Paul has made my bookkeeping, VAT returns etc a relatively simple and straightforward process, freeing me up to do the job I enjoy and allowing me to earn more fees rather than spending days reconciling figures. Being 'on the doorstep', Paul is able to offer a very personal service - whether it be training in the use of Quickbooks or advice on taxation issues. I find the service offered by Paul to be quick, efficient, cost effective, personal and friendly. I would recommend Premier Bookkeeping without reservation." Dr Phil Anderson, Marine Casualty Investigator, ConsultISM Limited

"Paul's expertise proved invaluable when we changed to a computerised bookkeeping system. His knowledge, flexible approach and professionalism has proved to be a definite benefit for our business. Premier Bookkeeping provides us with a continuous, practical, professional service and are incredibly responsive to our business needs. All of this is backed up by excellent communication." Northumbria Pest Control

"Last year I made the transition from Sole Trader to Limited Company. Paul has steered me through this process with calm expertise. He is available whenever I have a query and answers any questions quickly, clarifying any issues and making the sometimes stressful business of accounting, tax, compliance etc much less stressful. I always knew that choosing the right accountant was an important decision. Paul was recommended to me and I would be very happy to recommend him to other small businesses." Collette Fellows-Smith, Yellow House Communications Limited

"I would wholeheartedly recommend Paul Barron for any kind of bookkeeping work. We have had problems with bookkeepers in the past and Paul has come up trumps and helped us sort out these problems, especially when it came to our accounts and PAYE. He is a very pleasant, trustworthy person and always shows great interest in our business and wants us to do well. He is very reliable and accurate with all his work. If you are thinking of hiring a new bookkeeper you have definitely made the right choice" Charlotte Gaisford, Crafty Computer Paper Limited, Barrasford

"For most of my working life I have been on PAYE and had an employer. Recently I began self employment. I love my new business, even the requirement to keep receipts and work out my income and expenses wasn’t a problem. However, I was acutely aware of what I didn’t know with regards to Income tax, VAT, allowances, voluntary contributions etc.

It was through a recommendation that I met Paul. From the beginning he answered all my questions and I was in no doubt that he was a professional who knew what he was talking about. All the little queries that cropped up over the subsequent few weeks were answered quickly and I was genuinely impressed. He is easy to talk to and covered all of my tax issues. Needless to say my tax return was processed well within the deadline and I am very happy. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him." V. Harper. Unique Miniatures.

"When I started my business in 2006, one thing I was not looking forward to was filling in my tax return. I needed someone who I could leave my books with and sort it out for me. I contacted Paul and I can safely say it was the best decision I could have made. I no longer worry about my tax return as I know it is in safe hands with Paul. A quick and efficient service, without breaking the bank, which I can recommend to anyone." Roy Castle, PC-AID Computer Services

"I can honestly say that bookkeeping is not one of my strong points, so when I contacted Paul I wasn't sure how he would manage to make sense of my accounts without charging the earth. Paul quickly put me at ease demonstrating his practical knowledge and experience of handling all types of business accounting. He has provided a clear efficient method which I can use to manage my bookkeeping and annual Tax returns. Premier Bookkeeping has given me the freedom to focus on my business activities, having the added confidence of knowing that I have continuous professional support available whenever I need it." Matthew Boyle, Dunstan Enterprises Limited

"When Humshaugh Pre-School grew and exceeded the Charity Commission return threshold for the first time, we needed our accounts prepared and independently examined - as a voluntary committee this seemed like a difficult and expensive task, but then along came Paul! He quickly guided us through and presented everything in the correct format saving us a huge amount of time and effort and ensuring we fulfilled all of the Charity Commission requirements. Thank you!"

He combines an efficient and cost-effective service with a friendly, approachable manner and provides helpful advice where needed." Owen McArdle, Bursar, Queen Elizabeth High School, Hexham
