More than an accountant, Annette provides an invaluable FD role to entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Not your average accountant! Annette Ferguson provides more than accounting services, she also provides support and advice. Annette has helped me navigate and understand the complexities of my growing businesses. In addition Annette is highly professional, approachable and compassionate. Not my usual experience of accountants. I can highly recommend Annette & Co to any other small business owners/ entrepreneurs.

I have had a few accountants, but none have been as good as Annette and Co. They have taken out all the worry and work that comes with accounting. Laura is the best, I am constantly changing my mind about goals and she adapts my planning. Highly recommend

I've been through a lot of accountants and the best I can say about them is that they kept me out of jail. Annette & Co are a completely different kind of firm. They help me plan ahead - no really! I've gone from anxiety about tax and setting targets to confidence and clarity. I actually have money. They deliver on the profit first promise. If you are planning a move to a new accountant then this is a move your future self will say 'well done' to.

absolute legend!! Annette has changed the way i look at my accounts by helping me understand the basics and has the patients to explain things to me in layman's terms until i understand it properly. I now have a much better grasp of the numbers in my business and have implemented profit first so i know exactly where all the money in the business belongs. this is exactly what i have been looking for from my account 10/10

Fantastic accountants, super communicative, on top of everything, friendly, and have totally transformed the way I feel about financial planning/cash flow management. Would not hesitate to recommend…and frequently do!
