Client Praise

We have been working with Jonathan Ford & Co for five years and we always find their approach prompt and professional to a fault. Staff are friendly and efficient and the fact that we are based over 2 hours drive away from Rainhill (in sunny Barrow-in-Furness) has never posed a problem for us in terms of getting advice or having work done to a high standard. We would recommend them to anyone regardless of the location or size of your company.

We've been with Jonathan Ford & Co since the launch of Really Useful Websites Limited in 2006 and have very much enjoyed working with them during the development of our business since then. Not only do they offer an excellent service at a fair price, but they are friendly and approachable and easy to work with too. Our business has adapted and changed since 2006, most recently with the launch of the Really Useful Apps brand to reflect our increased focus on app design and development, and we've appreciated the support from Jonathan and his team as we've done so.

Having Jonathan Ford & Co as our accountant allows us to concentrate on the things we're best at

Jon O'Hara eBusiness Specialists - www.jonohara.co.ukJonathan and his colleagues take a more proactive approach to accounting than I'd previously encountered - his knowledge of the TV industry means that he is well placed to spot potential problems long before they develop. This, together with what is, in my experience, a uniquely personal service, means that he manages to take (most of) the pain out of accountancy

Neil Jones, TV Writer

I’m a writer but I prefer to limit my creativity to my scripts rather than my accounts. With Jonathan Ford & Co I felt instantly that I was in safe hands. My previous accountants were a national brand with swanky city offices but there was no personal touch. I like the approachability of Ford & Co. There’s no stuffiness: if I have a question – however basic - I can ask it without embarrassment and know I’ll get an answer back swiftly. Plus, they’re on top of all the latest technology and social networking. It’s reassuring to know you’re dealing with a modern firm whose foundations are 100% solid.

Jan McVerry, TV Writer

Ali Bastian, Actress

Jonathan Ford & Co have provided me with a first rate accountancy service. Super fast, efficient, friendly and all for an extremelycompetitive rate. I couldn't ask for more.

Susie Watson, TV Drama and Film Director

The team at J Ford & Co have consistently proved their worth to my business over the years. Their advice is sane, sensible and practical and they really do appreciate the trials and tribulations of running a business. Businesses need all the expertise they can get to survive and thrive and I believe we get this from J Ford & Co who are a great accountancy practice with some personality thrown in for good measure..”

Phillip Ramsey, Clarity Creative - www.claritycreative.com

As a small business to have financial advice at hand is hugely important. JF & Co’s fixed fee policy allows us access to financial guidance when needed without the worry of an additional bill. Add to this the flexibility to meet and the ability to talk directly to the member of staff managing your affairs and you’ve got a great working relationship with the firm as a whole. Jonathan and his team are all genuinely interested in making sure your business works well and I have no hesitation in recommending their services, and hope that they will continue to oversee our business accounting for many years to come.”

Jonathan and the team have been my one and only accountacy service since I began freelancing in 2004. I know, not only what I am skilled at but also what I want to spend my time doing - and the team are the safe pair of hands that allow me to do what makes my clients and myself happy... be creative. They never let me down and my tax return is always delivered on time. I couldn’t do it without them!
