Burgis & Bullock are efficient and professional. I've been with them for more than 25 years. I highly recommend Burgis & Bullock and have recommended them to friends who have struggled to find a decent accountant. I've been with Burgis & Bullock for so long, and they've provided an excellent service so I've never thought of moving. Any queries I've had on any invoices that I thought may be a little too high, I speak to Sean directly and he will revise it for me. If someone is doing all that for you you can't complain.
The accounts part is as big a part of your business as any other part; you can make millions but if your accounting is not right you can lose millions. I've not needed their advice to grown my business as I've got experience in training, manufacturing and property, so I've not needed their expertise in growth, and it's just me and I subcontract a lot of my work out, but I do need a good accountant. Taxation is important and Burgis & Bullocks advice is absolutely brilliant, but it's the efficiency I benefit from more than anything; somebody who's able to do things on time, and give me advice on time. If I'm buying a property I know the accounts are set up, the new company is set up, if I need a vat number they get it done. During the covid lockdown I was buying a new property while everything was shut, and one call to Sean and he said "no worries, go ahead with the purchase", and got it all set up and got me a vat number. I don't think I've ever called and they've not called me back within a 15-20 minute period.

All members of the team are professional and personal at the same time. Everyone we deal with on a regular basis knows our business and how we work. Nothing is a problem for the team to sort out and they all generally go the extra mile to be helpful.

I like the fact that Burgis & Bullock are quite corporate, but personal; I feel they're big enough to cope but small enough to care. The biggest benefit has been the technology that they have implemented into their business; they're very proactive with technology, I feel, for an accounting firm, compared to previous accountants, and that's really benefited the business. I used to use QuickBooks before but I've started using Xero which Burgis & Bullock recommended, and on the back of that I've started using Fluidly and Receipt Bank which saves me loads of time from an expenses point of view. I love that I can just take a picture and send it to them and know it's done, and I can just throw the receipt away, and that's all driven by the fact that they embrace technology, otherwise I'd still be muddling along with QuickBooks. Burgis & Bullock are more expensive than previous accountants but I feel it's good value for money. They've got different departments that specialise in their field; Jane does month end, Marie does bookkeeping, Sheila does personal tax etc. so you know who does what rather than it being one person.
Company CommentThank you Nicole for your encouraging words. Getting the balance right between being a large organisation to provide the necessary services needed and still providing friendly and direct service is very important. Keeping up with technical innovations enables us to provide you with the best support for the whole range of services we provide for you.

Two main things stand out about Burgis & Bullock; I have a dedicated person who looks after my day to day affairs, particularly PAYE, and the other key factor is that they use Xero and are able to support me with anything I need when it comes to the accounts side. It's more of a confidence thing; Burgis & Bullock don't get involved in the day to day stuff, that's for me to do, but with them having their eyes and ears open on the accounts and taxes, and knowing they're there in the background and I can get any advice I need, which is good.
I'm more than happy with them an I'd recommend them to anybody.
Company CommentThank you David. It is so nice to see that you are happy to recommend us to other people in need of the services that we provide. We know how important it is to have dedicated contacts to provide continuity and the best service. Use of systems like Xero enables everyone to be viewing the most up to date information and to act accordingly.

I deal with Trevor Day and have done for over 20 years. He comes to me and it's all good. Burgis & Bullock do my accounts, which is what they're there for. My last accountant unfortunately died so I was recommended to Burgis & Bullock and I've been with them ever since and have had no reason to change. I think I've been with them for 25 years at least.
Company CommentPeter, your kind comments are very much appreciated. Working together for 25 years must say that we are doing things right. May we also thank you for being a valued customer for all these past years and look forward to working with you for many years to come.

Re the Covid-19 situation, Dale, thank you very much; the resources that you have been sending through are very helpful and we have been sharing them with our ConsultingRoom members.
Sue has also been fantastic, as always! …. And I know that I only need to email or pick the phone up for support from both of you, which is very welcome!
Company CommentThank you Ron for your wonderful comments. The COVID-19 situation has been a difficult time for many. We are pleased to have been of help to you in these challenging times. We have been doing our best to support our clients during the crisis and will carry on supporting them during the recovery period and when things hopefully get back to a state of normality.

I like that I know who I'm talking to and the fact that I can pick up the phone and speak to the person I need to speak to directly, and they're always friendly and helpful. Working with Burgis 7 Bullock has been extremely beneficial for our business; we started as a new business and have been with Burgis & Bullock for 13 years and in that time we have grown our bus immensely with Burgis & Bullock's help. I used to be a bank manager and I knew Burgis & Bullock through the banking industry, and because of that contact I approached them to help us when we started up.
Company CommentHi Angela, your comments are greatly appreciated. Having personal contacts and a direct communication route is the best way to operate. We know how frustrating it can be when you cannot easily contact an organisation and then find the person does not know about you and your business. We are pleased that you feel that we have got it right.

I like that the people at Burgis & Bullock are friendly; they do quite a lot in the community, to support businesses amongst other things. They've taken the time over the years to understand what the BID actually is. We're not like a normal company in that we're set up as a limited company, not a charity, but we're a not for profit partnership, so there are different laws attached to us. Some accountants don't work with charities but Burgis & Bullock have taken the time to understand it, and to learn about it, and what we need in terms of reporting back to our stakeholders. We've worked with them for about 11 or 12 years. I've not used any others though I did re-tender the contract last year, which we do every five years; We met, and got proposals from 4 others and Burgis & Bullock, and they were obviously successful. Compared to the others they had to work quite hard on price to be considered. They came in about third out of five initially. I didn't really want to move if I'm honest so the fact that they were flexible was great. Had they not been flexible we'd have had to move as we're not for profit. The laws are constantly changing so it's been really valuable. They were really proactive on GDPR running workshops. We've also just done a big change from Sage to Xero based on their recommendation and we're really happy. There's other firms around this town, legal firms and commercial services, who say they're into the community but don't support it the way these guys do.
Company CommentHi Stephanie, many thanks for you kind and detailed comments. We always aim to do our best and to be flexible when working with all types of companies including "not for profit" organisations like yourself. Helping the local community is important to us as well as providing value for money services to all who work with us.

I like the continuity that you get through working with the same team; it's quite important that they have some history as well so you're not reinventing the wheel every time the audit team comes in. This will only be my second year end. I've worked with other accountants in the past and it's much of a muchness, although I do feel that Burgis & Bullock have more of a team so you have a point of contact if you have a specific question, and they're always quick to come back.
Company CommentThank you Sally, receiving great feedback is really appreciated. We too feel that providing a regular team with people who know your business is the best way to provide first class service. All the team here look forward to working with you for many years to come.

It's a very personal service that's tailored to individual needs. It's made my job much much easier because the people I deal with for the two businesses I do the books for, that relationship has changed the way I work completely and made things so much easier. Nigel will explain things and if I don't understand will do it for me to show me how it should be done. There's a time benefit as well. With the previous accountant I dealt with for my sons business I used to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to understand the accounts only to realise that I shouldn't have been doing that as it's the accountant's job. I recommended Burgis & Bullock to my son, and although he is winding down his business, he didn't trust his previous accountant to do the final accounts. After working with Burgis & Bullock he said to me "What a breath of fresh air it is dealing with Nigel." The other thing is that they are so contactable, they'll always get back to you straight away in a very clear and concise way.
Company CommentThank you Barbara for your very kind words. we are pleased that you feel happy to recommend us as being referred is a great endorsement for a business. Making life easier and providing tailor made solutions for our clients is fundamental to us. Knowing that a company is available and easily contactable when needed also gives one peace of mind.

Everyone we deal with at B&B are fabulous, from Ann on reception, Sue for our payroll services, Nigel for directors paperwork, Jack for taking ownership of our accounts for year end/ad hoc queries, Anne Ross for R&D chats/information, Sean for championing Xero/hosting education and network sessions, Eamonn for advising/looking after our personal future along with the self assessment team. Also we mustn't forget Trevor and Sharon for guiding and looking after us when we started business 16 years ago. B&B have a great pool of talent and work hard in growing their employees, over the years we have seen the team excel and that has given us confidence in remaining using the services on offer. We have learnt a lot from B&B and feel we run a better business knowing we have their support and guidance whenever needed, they keep us on track, up to date and in the 21st century!

Burgis & Bullock are very friendly, very efficient, and whenever I contact them there's always a response immediately. They give me helpful advice and feedback about how the business is doing, breakdowns etc. and what I need to keep my eye on. When I first started this business there was an ad for Johnathan Meredith who worked there at the time, offering a free consultation and I was in a very sticky place. I had that meeting and he was brilliant, and he was our accountant until he retired. He was so full of good advice; holding my hand, getting me started in business and sorting my problems. That level of service has continued since he retired. I've always had really helpful bookkeepers. You get personal service with them which is good.

I like that Burgis and Bullock are approachable, efficient, and friendly. They explain things in simple terms that I can understand. We're just winding up the business at the moment as we're retiring, but we wouldn't have managed the last nearly 20 years without their help. I only worked with a few other accounting firms and Burgis & Bullock are head and shoulders above the rest. They never talk down to us, no question has ever been too stupid, and they keep things simple.

I think Burgis & Bullock are generally approachable; normally if you have an enquiry or issue they get back to you very quickly. I use a full range of different services with them which has been interesting: General accounting advice, auditing the business, tax advice, as well with selling the business, so it's been nice to be able to do all of that with one company that knows and understands our business. The advice has been very clear and has helped us to make good decisions with different aspects of what we've done within the business. Generally the advice we've had has been very sound. Having worked with other businesses who've had complaints about their accountants I think in general we've had a very good experience with Burgis & Bullock.

I like the personal touch; it feels like you're dealing with a person not with a firm. Working with Burgis & Bullock has benefited our business immeasurably; I doubt we'd be where we are now if it hadn't been for their support at the beginning. Burgis & Bullock give us piece of mind knowing that they're there when we need them. I believe my predecessor chose them based on a recommendation.

I like the communication, and the ideas they put forward. I'm in a peer networking group that Burgis & Bullock arranged and I'm really enjoying it. If I have any questions Burgis & Bullock always answer clearly and to my understanding without a load of jargon. My business has greatly benefited from working with Burgis & Bullock; we were a new business when we started, and are now in our fifteenth year and still growing strongly. I used to be a bank manager and already had a relationship with Burgis & Bullock so when I started my own business I chose them as our accountant.
