What clients and contacts are saying…

As well as a reliable, efficient, accurate and honest accounting service and taxation advice, Alan offers fantastic business support. His unique blend of top quality accountancy and vast operational experience provides me with a great sounding board. I would recommend his services to people new to the industry as I would to the best and most experienced operators.

Simon Warner, Owner, The Rose & Crown, Yealmpton

Alan has been our accountant for the past three years since we took over the business. He has been a great help in establishing our business, drawing upon his wealth of knowledge of the hospitality industry. Alan has assisted us in the implementation of our financial procedures, and we have used his skills as a sounding board for our business ideas.

Maria & Alex Honeywill, Owners, Two Beaches Guest House

I can highly recommend Alan. He has been looking after our accounts for over three years and his advice has helped our business grow, We are very pleased with the support we receive and the personal service.

Simon Edwards, Owner, Anzac Street B & Bistro

Extremely professional, easily accessible, answered all queries immediately. I was reluctant to use a new system but having done so wished I had done for a long time before. The spreadsheet is specifically designed for hotels and is unbelievably simple to use. Would recommend Alan to anyone in the trade.

Diane Powell, Owner, Beecroft Guest House

Alan is a very competent accountant and pays close attention to detail. He offers sound business advice and guidance, especially to the hospitality sector. He often points out information which may have been missed, to help small businesses prosper.

Michelle Vardy, Owner, Woodleigh Coach House

I have known Alan for several years now and was delighted when he agreed to manage the finances of the Awards. Very good at the detail, but more importantly helps contribute to the strategic overview of the company.

Alistair Handyside, Chairman, South West Tourism Excellence Awards

Alan has a wealth of experience of financial and general management in the leisure sector. His experience and skill would be of great value to any business in the South west of England.

Colin Watts, Director at WPS Insurance Brokers

I have worked alongside Alan for over 13 years, bridging his roles at Tresco, Richardson and at Accounting & General.

He is one of those rarities in industry – a creative and questioning businessman with a strong accounting background.

Robin Barker, CEO, Services for Tourism Ltd

I worked with Alan while Tourism Champion on the Isles of Scilly, with Alan sitting on the marketing board working on the strategic development of Scilly tourism. I found him to be extremely professional with a calm, measured and analytical approach, just the sort of attributes needed when delivering new tourism initiatives.

I have no problem at all in wholeheartedly recommending him.

Richard Wilcox, Falmouth BID Manager

I had the pleasure of working with Alan whilst he ran Tresco. He a highly competent manager and has an excellent understanding of all aspects of driving profitability and controlling costs.

Our efforts at Tresco generated significant savings in a very challenging location and Alan was a key part in the “change management” that helped achieve this.

If you want to work with a lateral thinker who is prepared to challenge and improve things for you – he’s your man.

Matt Tough, Sales and Marketing Director at PSL

Alan has certainly made a difference to my business through some challenging times. Makes my previous accountant look like an amateur.

Steve Mammatt, Owner, Actionwest Business Systems Ltd

Alan took over our accounts a few years ago now. He has provided us with excellent help and advice over this time. The team provides a great service, we have no need to worry about the accounts as we know they are in their capable hands. Thank you! I would highly recommend Accounting and General, the teams provides an excellent service.

Greg & Rachel Boyko, Abigail's Cafe

Alan has been my accountant for the past four years. My business is a complicated one which involves many different types of transactions including clients, customers, contractors, suppliers, staff etc and therefore, it is not easy to control. Alan and his team have successfully produced financial reports and returns for HMRC for us, allowing us to stay abreast of our tax and other financial responsibilities. I can thoroughly recommend Accounting and General as a first class accountancy practice in South Devon. Well done Alan and team.

We moved to Accounting and General recently after being unsatisfied with our previous accountant who is also based locally. From our initial meet and greet with Alan, we could tell we would be very happy working with him. Alan is very approachable, and easy to get in touch with. He has already provided us with great advice and we can honestly say the only thing we have been disappointed over, was that we didn’t make the move sooner!! Thank you Alan and team.

Dean Vannan, Lekker Software Ltd

Having Alan and his team advise us over the last 5 years has proved so valuable to us as a pub business. I would highly recommend them and take the advice given as gold.

Ivan Bridle, Palk Arms

Alan is a very approachable accountant who deals with our affairs efficiently and gives good financial and business advice. Very good value for money.

Lynda Bundey, Partner, Stevie B's Bakery

I have been having my business accounts administered by Alan Knight for seven years. The single most important aspect of working with Alan is his personal approach.  It makes a subject I find terribly difficult, so much easier when you are able to talk ‘human’ to someone. He also works with minimal fuss and knows
the technical stuff.

Chris Sherville, The Vineyard Kitchen, Sharpham

Alan was recommended to us by our Financial Advisor.  Whilst I have some knowledge of book-keeping, Alan has been a valuable asset when it comes to his extensive knowledge of Tax and the various allowances available.  His in-depth knowledge of Capital Allowances and Integral Feature Claims has had an extremely positive effect on our business during our first year of trading.  I have had dealings with many accountants over the years and it is a refreshing change to find someone who firstly knows what they are talking about and secondly, doesn’t want to charge “silly” money for what can only be described as an excellent service.  I cannot recommend Alan and his team highly enough.
