Golding were more than happy to help when we needed a quick certification for our mortgage and couldn’t find anyone else to assist. Everyone was so friendly, and we really appreciated their support.

Fantastic experience with the team at…

Fantastic experience with the team at Golding Colchester. Anthony walked me through several aspects of my PAYE that I was unclear about, and his knowledge of the tax system was second to none, helping me understand the impact of tax bands, personal allowance, capital gains tax and much more. Really professional and would definitely recommend

I've had the pleasure of working with Golding Accountancy since 2023, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the level of service and professionalism. Ian, Anthony and their entire team are incredibly knowledgeable and always take the time to explain complex financial matters in a way that's easy to understand, essential for me as a one-man band. I have every confidence in Golding and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy accountant.

Tax Advice

I came across Golding Accountancy after googling tax advisors in Rayleigh and I’m so glad I did. Anthony was able to offer a meeting at short notice to go through the form with me and explained everything satisfactorily to me. He was very friendly, professional and helpful, and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them. Thank you Anthony

My end of year tax bills

I have dealt with both Ian and Anthony when preparing my end of year tax bills.
Both are extremely friendly and helpful and would most definitely recommend them as I have done in the past.

Super service

Anthony was great, super helpful and informative. Always willing to explain and answer any questions. The online portal is also super easy to use and notifies when updated or when it’s needed to be updated. Wouldn’t use anyone else.

Best accountants by far

Ian, Anthony and the rest of the team at Golding are helpful, professional and friendly. The team have completed my self assessment each year swiftly and efficiently without hitch, they are always on hand to answer questions and provide advice regarding my accounts. Golding has also provided help and assistance when I re-mortgaged (twice) when my mortgage advisor asked me for information i didn't even understand. Golding Accountancy go the extra mile and I would recommend them 100% for anyone looking for an accountancy firm.

Ian and his team are very professional and very down to earth , always make you feel comfortable and explain things in layman’s terms ! I have dealt with Ian and Anthony and cannot speak highly enough of them . Highly recommended

#TeamGolding

I have used Golding Accountants since January 2017 for my Sole Trader accounts & Tax Returns. Initially with Ian Butler and subsequently with Anthony Burrell, both have been extremely professional in their approach.

If I have any queries they are easily accessed by email or more than happy to take time out of their hectic schedule to reassure me.

My Tax Returns come back to me extremely quick & easily understandable.

I am more than happy to endorse them both.
