"Jo Shannon is an expert when dealing with accounts. I outsourced my accounts entirely including the payroll, so Jo and her team complete everything for me. I can now get on with running and focusing on my business without worrying about if I am doing my figures correctly or fretting about payroll. Jo Shannon is friendly, local, understanding and I can ring her any time with a query. She has some great all-Inclusive packages that I use and would thoroughly recommend using these. Life-saver!"
Carly Bangs
Director Cleaning Business
"We had a tax investigation that was simply awful. A lot of stress and worry. JDS came to our rescue, sorted out our accounts and represented us in the investigation. When it came to mitigation Jo really knew her stuff and needless to say we didnt have to pay a penalty AND saved thousands of pounds in fees too because we had joined the Tax Club. JDS Accountancy worked diligently, effortlessly and professionally and got us organised. I now outsource all my accounts to them because they did a great job. I would thoroughly recommend Jo and her team at JDS Accountancy. "
Zack Swift
London
"After spending years keeping my own accounts and paying for expensive software, and submitting all to an accountant annually, (which I really found time-consuming and painful as I am not very good with figures and not very organised), I found JDS Accountancy and their Ruby Package. It was like breath of fresh air! I now send them my paperwork once a month and they do everything for me. Peace of mind for an excellent price."
