"Stuart at SYKAM has been instrumental to our business developing from start up to maturity. Stuart himself is a great guy, very personable and always available to help. He has always taken the time to explain everything fully to me so I could make informed decisions with our accounting and financial planning. We would certainly recommend Stuart as an accountant and business advisor."

“I transferred my business to SYKAM and can honestly say it’s the best decision I have made. I have been trading for over 8 years and have now found a firm of accountants who treat me and my business as one of the family! Their communication is excellent, and you always feel welcome no matter how or when you contact them. The comfort I now feel in knowing that the accountancy and tax needs of my business are covered to the highest of standards has allowed me to pursue other aspects of my business to ensure its growth and success. I would definitely recommend SYKAM, you will not be disappointed.”

“As a new, fast-growing business with previously limited knowledge or accounting and tax, Leanne has supported and educated us, giving us the confidence and tools to continue growing our business. The expertise and guidance have always been first class. We look forward to continuing to work with Leanne, Stuart and the team at SYKAM for many years to come.”

“SYKAM provides a great value for money service with a personal touch, professional advice for any business and are always available when you need them. Highly recommended!”
