Scrutton Bland
Based on 36 reviews
My family have been using Scrutton Bland’s accountancy services for over 40 years and we have valued the continuity from one generation to the next that this has provided. At all levels within the firm, we have received friendly and efficient attention to detail with business as well as personal accounts.

Graham Doubtfire has been a knowledgeable sounding-board for us throughout the past 15 years. He is extremely well-versed in tax affairs and has helped us to consider both our short- and long-term planning. He is always available to discuss our thoughts and concerns, and we have appreciated his quick response to our questions, remembering and understanding the nuances of financial considerations for family members. We really appreciated his warm and kind personality as he helped us negotiate family bereavements and the required administration, and his in-depth understanding of Lloyds Underwriting has been invaluable.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Scrutton Bland to others - even though we live over 150 miles away, we can’t imagine using anyone else!
Response from the owner:Hi Jo thank you so much for leaving us a wonderful review. Our Private Client Tax team have enjoyed working with you and your family for over 40 years and look forward to continuing to help you navigate your short and long term tax planning needs going forward.
I needed an Accountant's Certificate of Confirmation for my spouse visa application. Not all local accountant's offer this service however Scrutton Bland does for a reasonable price and a good service. Ben was very helpful and processed this promptly. Thank you to all the team.
David C from Scrutton was a great help and support to get my rather complicated tax returns sorted. He was available at all time to answer my questions. Very efficient service and they offer more than just support on tax returns. I can absolutely recommend using them
We were so grateful to have Scrutton Bland's team supporting us through our recent acquisition. The unwavering support they gave us and the exceptional know how and advise was invaluable.
I have very much appreciated and valued the care and attention devoted to my tax affairs by SB over many years. No question or point raised has gone unanswered and usually by return and with complete clarity. In a sense I 'inherited' my contact with the firm through my late parents. The firm maintained this personal approach and style and it was a pleasure and comfort in tax matters to be dealing always with the same well-informed tax adviser.
Specialist Agricultural knowledge and advice in a timely, friendly and accurate manner. Highly recommended and many thanks, Jack Deal, for your professionalism and sector expertise.

We have been with Scrutton Bland (SB) near to 3 years. We cannot praise Nick Banks and his team enough. Not only do they provide the legal side of accounting, Nicks industry knowledge and contacts has led to huge growth in understanding and managing large challenges we have faced. The move to Xero accountancy software has improved our in-house record keeping efficiency as well as many useful tools we use to work with SB to make informed decisions. The move to Xero was straightforward with great support form SB. We wouldn’t go back now.

I cannot recommend Scrutton Bland highly enough. On a personal level they resolved my incredibly complex tax problem with ease and calmness. For my business, they helped me automate my accounts and I now run like clockwork. Best of all, I feel incredibly well backed and supported. I have literally trusted them with my life and they have not let me down. You cannot get better in my opinion and I have worked with some of the very best firms out there! Treat yourself to them as I promise that you will not be disappointed.
Btw, they did not ask me to write this review and will be embarrassed at my effusiveness..
Response from the owner:Dear Pauline, we're so pleased you're happy with the service you've recieved and really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, so thank you.

The advice and support we receive from Scrutton Bland is fantastic. It gives us peace of mind over day to day accounts and invaluable support when decisions need to be made. Can't thank Nick Banks and his assisting staff enough for their patience with me.
Scrutton Bland’s guidance and expertise has been invaluable in managing the financial needs of the business. They provide a helpful, professional and efficient service – would highly recommend.
I worked with Emma who is absolutely excellent. She made everything really easy, replied to emails at lightening speed, and took the time to explain and discuss everything with me until i felt comfortable - no pushiness at all. Always acted in a professional manner and really was a pleasure to work with - which is not an easy comment to come by when dealing with insurance! Really impressed with Emma's conduct, skill and professionalism, so now regularly rely on her and Scrutton Bland for my insurance needs.
