What people are saying

“Allison and the team have provided me with an excellent service since I joined last year. AFor quickly got my accounts in order and offered nothing but support whilst my business was in its infancy.
My questions are answered promptly, and I feel they are always on hand to lend advice should I need. I look forward to developing my relationship with AFor as my company continues to grow.”

Richard Denby, Richard Denby Inspection Ltd
“I met Allison while performing at a wedding and later found out she was an accountant—just as I needed one. What stood out was her deep understanding of my industry and her warm, approachable demeanor, making it an easy decision to work with her.
Allison is knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly experienced. I’ve since referred her to a few colleagues, who were just as impressed. Thank you to Allison and the AFor team for handling my bookkeeping and accounting so professionally.”
Kristi, KriStix Drumming
“Allison and the AFor Team are lifesavers. When I started my small business, the self-assessment process felt overwhelming, and I was lost. Allison stepped in and quickly sorted all my paperwork with HMRC.
Since then, the AFor team has guided me every year, clearly outlining what they need. This has made it much easier to stay organised and avoid the usual December panic. I just send them everything, and they handle the rest. Highly recommended.”
Emma Sykes, Braeside Bakes
“I’m thrilled to have found Allison. From our first meeting, it was clear she is knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about my financial well-being.
She simplifies complex tax concepts, making me feel confident and informed in every decision. Her attention to detail and dedication to great service have made managing my finances much easier.
I highly recommend AFor to anyone seeking expert financial guidance.“
Claude Dawkins, D & H Joinery
“What a great team! I truly love working together with such talented and supportive people. It's amazing to be able to trust someone completely and know they've got your back, no matter what.
Plus, it's always nice to share a few laughs and have some fun along the way. Thank you for all the hard work, positivity, and for removing so much stress from my life — I couldn't ask for a better accountant.”
Scott Lumley, Elmwood Properties Ltd
“When I needed a new accountant, I turned to Facebook and remembered a post from a few weeks earlier asking for recommendations. One name stood out — ‘AFor’ was mentioned repeatedly. Based on those glowing reviews, I contacted Allison.
From the first conversation, Allison and her team impressed me with their friendliness and efficiency. I was so relieved to find someone I instantly felt comfortable with. Meeting Allison in person felt like reconnecting with an old friend.”
Sarah Garg, Celebrant
“The firm is very efficient and professional. Nothing is too much trouble. It’s always a pleasure going to see Allison for updates — she is always welcoming, and her tax knowledge is very extensive.
Having AFor as my accountants has taken a big burden off my shoulders, for which I am truly grateful.
I would recommend AFor to friends and family, and I have already done so this year. I wish the firm the very best for the future.“
Nick Wood, Pro Golfer
“Allison is incredibly helpful. She has offered advice for me as a new business and gone above and beyond to schedule phone calls out of hours to work around my schedule.
Allison and AFor have been great with advice and guidance on my tax and bookkeeping and have massively cut down the time it takes me, meaning I can put more time into my business.
Super friendly team with quick response times and great advice.“
Abbie Tweed, Petite Studios
“I met Allison through a networking event I was invited to. I was a new small business and ready to start working with an accountant.
Allison and her team have been a godsend for me. Pleasant, helpful, and always on hand to give any specific advice I need — which is always provided in a timely manner and, more importantly, correct.
I have recommended them to friends for both personal and business accounts.“
Andrew Walker, Desired Effect Antiques Ltd
“Allison and the AFor team are amazing and have been a great asset to my company.
Allison has been supportive since day one, going the extra mile to assist me with my accounting and payroll.
As well as being knowledgeable, she is also friendly, reliable, and helpful in more ways than one.“
