A few years ago I was looking for a firm of local, professional accountants that would understand myself and my business and provide the services a small business requires. I can honestly say it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Phillips & Co Accountants Chester provide not only a professional service based on sound knowledge from years of experience, but whenever I have needed help and advice they always respond immediately and informatively.
Phillips & Co Accountants Chester have supported our business with accounts filing and advice for several years now, and they have provided us with a tailored service that suits us down to the ground. Fantastic value for money is combined with a wealth of experience and knowledge of business accounting structures and mechanisms. Their flexibility and willingness to help has ensured that our business has gone from strength to strength since we teamed up.
I have been using the services of Phillips & Co Accountants Chester for a number of years for three businesses that I own, one as a sole trader, one as a partnership and the other as a limited company. I have found them to be extremely reliable, efficient and most importantly, easy to communicate with. I have recommended Phillips & Co Accountants Chester to others and have had very positive feedback with a number of them engaging them as their accountants.

We use industry leading accounts, tax, bookkeeping and payroll software to provide the highest quality service.
