My husband and myself have been clients of Barbara Demetriou at Archimedia Accounts for many years now. Her exceptionally professional yet friendly personal approach has formed a firm foundation for our continued custom and she has always been available for help, advice and queries. She, and now also her son Chris, provide an exemplary service which we are very happy to recommend.

I started to work with Barbara in 2014 as I was setting up my first business venture. Upon starting my second business venture, I engaged another accountancy firm as I was not based in Nottingham anymore. that turned up to be a costly mistake. I quickly reverted back to Barbara and I am very happy I did so. Barbara and Chris are always on top of things and they also provide valuable insight and advice. I'd have no hesitation recommending them.

Truly are the best accountants in Nottingham. I have been working with Archimedia Accounts for around 8 months and they have helped my businesses go from strength to strength financially. Chris knows how to find pockets of areas within your business finances that you didn't know or wouldn't have thought of and turn that into extra cash flow. Exceptional accountants.
