Linda has been incredibly helpful to me throughout my business journey. From setting up my business finances, through to practical advice around the development of my small business, no question is too silly and she is always happy to talk me through anything. I am not very good with technology and she has been incredibly patient with me whilst setting up various online software and accounts required, making it as easy as possible for me. I don't worry at all about my year end finances now because she provides a brilliant monthly overview so that I know everything is being taken care of and considered regularly. Highly recommend her services.

I have used Hermit Business for over 5 years. First for my self-assessment and then for the last 2 years doing my VAT return. I aways get detailed reports from them of profits and costs, as well as good financial business advice. I.E. Cost savings. Using Hermit Business I am able to focus on my work knowing that I can leave them to look after the financial side of the business, but still keeping me regularly updated.

Many thanks,
Sam

Recently I decided to go self employed, and with that came a whole host of uncertainty when it came to my company finances. Working with Linda has been a god send for me, and she has demistified an area which I felt very uncertain about. Linda's service goes above and beyond what I expected when hiring an accountant, she's worth every penny. Would highly recommend, thanks for everything so far Linda!

I've recently started working with Linda as I wanted someone to help ensure my business was set up properly in terms of accounting to allow me more time to focus on growing the business. Linda has been a fantastic help! She's really down to earth and pragmatic and explains things in a way that's easy to understand. She's done my year end accounts and self assessment returns and provided me with some training on QuickBooks, all of which has been great! I highly recommend her!

Hi Linda was efficient and easy to work with. I am a small business that operates under the V.A.T limit but am sure that Linda could help both small operations such as mine as well as larger /growing businesses.
