Report
I have been with Lighthouse Accountancy for over 12 years now both as a Sole Trader and for the last 10 years as a Limited Company within the construction industry. From the first day they have given me exceptional service and advice in dealing with HMRC. They are always available either by phone or email to explain and advise me on my current tax affairs, which to many are complicated and confusing. I would recommend their services without question as accountants to their business affairs.
