feel that we could not put our payroll in better hands

Having worked closely with Master Accounting for some time, I feel that we could not put our payroll in better hands. They have gone above and beyond in order to ensure that our payroll is completed on time, with an exceptionally high accuracy despite various changes we have made within our business. Overall you would never know that it is a separate business as Master Accounting act as though they are a department within our own company.’

We look forward to continuing to work with Mark into the future.

"Mark has been very helpful to us in various aspects of our work, and as a community business he has been very supportive in offering us tailored solutions which have been cost effective for our development. This has involved working with on a Community Share Offer model which successfully raised the money required, he has also helped us to complete our accounts on a short timescale as well as giving us advice and bespoke training with accounting software so that we are better able to keep track of how our business is performing, along with keeping basic administration tasks in house. We look forward to continuing to work with Mark into the future."

Would Highly Recommend

"I have recently switched accountants to use the services of Mark Buckmaster at Master Accounting Ltd. The reason for the move was I didn't feel my old accountant was giving me any ongoing advice and support other than balancing my year-end accounts. Like most small business owners, costs are key, so I was delighted when, not only were my monthly fees reduced, Mark has also agreed to put together quarterly management figures and advice. I have known Mark for a number of years and already knew how much he cared for his clients so this was an easy decision for me. In my first meeting Mark offered me one piece of advice that, in 20 years of business, I have never been told before and my accountant last year didn't advise me on either. In fact, this one piece of advice has saved the company over £1000 which I can reclaim for my cash flow straight away. That has more than paid for Mark’s services for the next 12 months. If you are looking for good accountancy advice and want to keep a more active eye on your business figures I would highly recommend you arrange to have a conversation with Mark."

I look forward to many more years working with Mark and his company.

"My name is Andrew Dalby. I am the Managing Director of Live Labels Ltd. I have used Master Accounting from the inception of my company over 3 years ago now. I have, to date, received the best customer service and advice I could have possibly hoped for. Mark looks after all my accounting needs from staff payroll to end of year figures leaving me free to do what I do best and grow my business. I had not ran my own business up until this point so was very inexperienced in all areas that deal with the accounting side. I need not have worried as Mark has pointed me in the right direction and given me the advice that has enabled me to keep my outgoings to a minimum. I would not hesitate to recommend Master Accounting. I look forward to many more years working with Mark and his company."

Very quick and efficient

"Having used Master Accounting to discuss the merits of becoming a limited company and explaining the process of becoming an incorporated business, Mark was very quick and efficient in setting up the business for me. His experience, knowledge and professionalism gave me the confidence that I had selected the right company to do this work."

James Garner - Director - Tectos-UK Ltd

He took away the headache from me

"Mark had already been appointed to assist with the month end process in doing the management accounts in this chemical adhesives business. His remit was extended to payroll covering over almost 200 employees, of which the clear majority were hourly paid direct employees. The shift patterns were relatively routine but overtime rules were more complex and Mark handled the payroll exceptionally well to strict deadlines. He took away the headache from me at the busiest time of the month and let me focus on financial & operational issues under distressed trading circumstances at the time. This proving that outsourcing payroll is more valuable to the business in freeing me up as FD to attend to performance issues rather than worrying about the minor cost of outsourcing payroll itself. Mark also provided a payroll database extract so I could keep very precise control on the labour costs and associated analysis. I enjoyed working with Mark and would work with him again."

I would have no hesitation in using him again.

"Mark was engaged to do the payroll for our chilled pastry factory in Corby during this period immediately following my departure from Chemence. We ran various over lapping 4 on 4 off shift patterns for the factory, which also had significant absence issues to handle in working out the correct hours. The overtime rules were also awkward and the variety of deductions made this a complex payroll for about 120 employees, of which maybe 30 were staff and therefore simpler. Mark handled this engagement with the minimal of fuss being on time and accurate to tight deadlines. We reviewed several times each month to ensure accuracy and his work schedule accommodated our timeframes regardless of the time of day. I would have no hesitation in using him again."

David Ladley - Finance Director 2011-2015 - BakeAway Limited

Great value for money

"Mark was again retained to do the payroll at Hawes, so clearly I did not have any hesitation in engaging his services again. We had a factory of hourly paid employees on a variety of more complex and variable shifts with some very precise and extensive overtime rules arising from legacy issues in previous years. In addition, with a largescale reduction in headcount over the year, there were many issues with payroll for leavers and the importance of accuracy for leavers is even more paramount, especially with the risk of over payment and possible bad debts. Mark learned these rules well and we had disciplined review procedures pre-and post-net pay calculation to ensure accuracy and completeness. Mark yet again did a fantastic job on tighter deadlines with 175 employees. He is also great value for money and can be relied upon to get the job done when you need it doing, putting himself and his staff at your disposal when your timescale dictate."

Excellent Service

"I was very pleased with the service I received from Master Accounting. At all times they provided a professional excellent service."

Deborah Wale - New company set up - Nightingale Network Services Ltd

Easy and painless

"Master Accounting has been doing the House of Vantage payroll for some years now. When we received our letter from the Pensions’ Regulator, informing us of our staging date, we immediately contacted Mark at Master Accounting who came in and explained the auto enrolment pension scheme to the senior management team. He then came to see us again and spoke to both shifts, explaining auto enrolment and answering the many questions asked by the staff. We had no hesitation in using Master Accounting to set up our auto enrolment pension scheme to ensure our company was compliant. The set-up fee was extremely reasonable and the process was easy and painless for us."

Thomas Mann - House of Vantage

Top of their game

"Whilst we’ve only been working with Mark and Rachel for a short time, they are extremely well connected and came to us well-recommended. They have already shown us that they are on top of their game."

Jonathan Palfreyman - Finance Director - One Vision Health Ltd

Complete, professional and reasonably priced service.

"We have used Master Accounting for accountancy and payroll services for many years and have found Mark to be extremely personable as well as efficient, cost-effective and responsive. I would recommend his company to anyone who appreciates a complete professional and reasonably priced service."
