"As a creative I despair when it comes to paperwork. SJAS have come to my rescue and got me up to date with my accounts and tax return. As a start up small business I needed a lot of hand holding at first. SJAS are always happy to hear from me and interested in my work. I am so happy with the service and also that I don't have to worry about hefty accountancy fees. Thank you Steve and your team."
