What people say about Keith

I have been so happy with the service I have received from GHLD accountants. Keith was recommended to me by a colleague and has been fantastic in managing my finances. He has taken a huge amount of stress out of our lives and has saved us so much money. I would highly recommend Keith and his company.

We have used GHLD as our main accountants for about 8 years and have been delighted with their service. Keith Smith has consistently given us sound advice and takes all the hard work out of running our limited company as well as our personal affairs. He subtly nags at just the right level to make us get our act sorted without being overbearing – just what we need! He also works seamlessly with our specialist agricultural accountant. I always feel his advice is maximising our tax efficiency without taking on anything that may make HMRC interested in us! If you are looking for an accountancy firm I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Keith and his team are fantastic. Always on hand to answer queries. Keith has been preparing my personal and company tax returns for several years and is very good at helping with options, explaining rules in terms I can understand and responding promptly and effectively. Very personable and helpful. I would recommend this firm to friends and colleagues – and have done so.
