Why Clients Stay

Experience You Can Lean On

We work with owners who already have a business worth protecting, offering considered advice on tax, structure and the years ahead.
Good advice starts with knowing your business properly.
Seasoned Advisors

 

Many of our clients have been trading for years. We take time to learn how your business really works before we suggest any change.

  • Experience across a wide range of industries
  • As at home with mature businesses as with new ones
  • Practical help when issues become complicated

 

Together we agree what help you actually want, and we stay involved through the whole year rather than appearing only when a deadline comes round.

We see ourselves as a partner in your business, and every piece of advice is weighed against your own circumstances.

  • Insight drawn from many sectors
  • Recommendations that work in practice
  • Plans built around you and your priorities

Tax and filing rules keep changing, Making Tax Digital being one example. We put them into plain English so that you stay on the right side of HMRC and Companies House.

You will understand what your figures say, why they say it, and what it means for your next step.

  • More than 15 years of accounting experience
  • Knowledge shared openly with you
  • Kept up to date as the rules change

Signing off your accounts is not where our job ends. We value working relationships that last for many years and rest on trust rather than paperwork.

That’s why we go the extra mile to ensure your aims are achievable and that we provide the right support in order to allow you to grow

  • A firm footing for the years ahead
  • Open, prompt and in step with your aims
  • Measured by results for you, not forms filed

Your Satisfaction Comes First
Andy Hudson, Director, Audi Upgrades
I have been working with the Bassline team for a while now and it has always been an absolute pleasure to deal with them. More importantly, its so refreshing to work with a company like Bassline that puts the client first and genuinely wants to provide the service we all wish for. Whether it’s a simple query or a complex issue that needs resolving, I have never questioned or doubted the skill, expertise, and knowledge that they bring to my business and its future. Highly recommended.
Zach Chipp, Owner, Chipp Coffee
Working with Ian and the team at Bassline has been invaluable to our business over the years. Being a busy small business owner wearing many hats at one time, Bassline have helped us gain clarity and direction with our accounting but also our overall finances, meaning I have had more time to focus on actually growing and developing my own business. Bassline's approach to accounting has also helped me actually understand what is going on in my business accounts and given me the confidence to have better financial conversations.
Kate Foster, Director, WhyAintYou
We are a small business and have been with Ian for three years after we were recommended to him by a friend of a friend. Ian is an excellent chartered accountant. He is extremely knowledgeable, cost effective, explains things really clearly and is very prompt with his delivery and submissions. The major difference for us when we swopped to Ian from our old accountant was not just his specialised accounting skills but also his business advise (which we ask for) which is second to none and helps us tremendously on a daily basis. I can highly recommend Ian / Bassline
Oliver Stokes, Contactless Ltd.
"Thank you Ian for your support over the years, in providing audit & accountancy support to my projects, both local and multinational. Your rapid response, flexible approach & cost effective (rather, cost-saving!) insights in matters ranging from multimillion pound transactions in regulated sectors, through to personal tax advice, are invaluable to me and my businesses. I can’t thank you enough and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and your team to others."
