Personable, helpful and genial"
Three words I would use to describe Jonathan. I cannot recommend him or W&A Chartered Accountants enough. Jonathan combines the traditions of W&A with the friendliness of a modern business to offer an accountancy service second to none. His advice and guidance have had a huge effect on my business and given us a strong structure to help us develop today and into the future.

W&A are a pleasure to work with

After taking our accounts from a, shall we say difficult situation, Jonathan worked closely with us to rectify a number of bad issues he had inherited from our previous Accountant and moved us forward by suggesting new technologies and methods in the process. His entire team at W&A are a pleasure to work with and I would hope we would have a continuing relationship for a long time to come as our business grows.
