Following redundancy, I made a decision to become self-employed. I discussed my plans with a number of accountants, but Dafferns were the only one who advised me that I was entitled to re-claim tax on payments made by my previous employer, which had been incorrectly taxed at source. The repayment amounted to over £7000. Very helpful in my first year of business.
Rodger Hope, Health & Safety Consultant
The HR Dept (South Warwickshire) has expanded rapidly over recent years and Dafferns’ support to us has been invaluable. They ensure we are running our business as efficiently as possible and, with further expansion planned in the future, it’s comforting to know that we can call on their professional expertise. The team ensure we never miss deadlines, thereby avoiding possible fines, and help us with the financial planning for our business.
Tracey Hudson, The HR Dept. Ltd
We have worked with Dafferns since 1994 and have always been impressed with their proactive and innovative approach to our business and the expertise they make available to us.
They have provided us with comprehensive audit services as well as business planning and taxation advice in a timely and professional manner, but with a personal touch.
Sue Linfield, Compton Fundraising Consultants Ltd

Paul Tudor, Chair of Trustees at Dudley Lodge

As a Dafferns client, I had the pleasure of working with Kamila for six months on a specific project during which time she handled the bookkeeping whilst our business went through a period of growth. She provided me with thorough training on Xero software and I regularly am in touch with Kamila when I have a Xero query as she’s able to provide clear and insightful responses in a timely manner.
