I can truly say that it is my pleasure to deal with Colin. So rarely found nowadays, Colin is a can do person who is endlessly helpful and takes the time to explain the issues at hand to a tradesman such as myself with a huge lack of accounting knowledge. Colin is always contactable and has a flexible approach to work, always finding time to meet when required and taking the load off us at Unique Abode, so that we can focus on doing
what we do. If only more people could work in this way. Staceys is a delight in a sea of mediocrity.

Colin has worked with us at board level for five years. His capability to listen and then give clear advice has been invaluable, guiding our strategic direction through a period of development and change. At the same time, he has been hands-on in transforming our financial reporting from hard to understand accounts to clear image driven information. Colin is respected by everyone and a vital member of our management team.

Maria Commane - Managing Director, Sitemasters plc
Colin has been helping me both in my personal capacity and in respect of my small business for over eight years now. Starting my own business for the first time was a real challenge and fortunately Colin took away all of the stresses and strains from a tax and accounting perspective, enabling me to focus on growing the business. Colin has also ensured that my personal and company tax affairs work hand in hand to ensure an efficient and effective approach. Unlike other professional services organisations, Colin has also enabled me to be as self-sufficient as possible, thus enabling me to receive tax and accounting services in an affordable, cost-effective manner.

Jon Edgell - Edgell Services Ltd
I started my consulting business in 2010 initially as a sole trader and as the business grew Colin’s advice was invaluable. In 2012, I formed a limited company, Fuel Card Insights Ltd, which is a business consulting company advising clients on payments. As Managing Director of the company, which has grown its turnover and client base over the last five years, I have been reliant on Colin’s advice and accounting experience to compile and file my company’s accounts. Colin is very approachable, flexible and explains things in non-accounting terms. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Staceys to anyone looking either to start their own business or already in business.

Gordon Balmer - Managing Director, Fuel Card Insights Ltd
Colin has been working with us since we started the business over 10 years ago. He does a fantastic job on our complicated accounts as he fully understands our business having worked with us for so long now. Colin joined us for strategy meetings in order to fully understand our goals and long-term ambitions. This knowledge enabled him to understand our business throughout rather than just by looking at a set of accounts. At the end of the day he is more than just a payroll advisor and accounts preparer he is an integral part of the team who provides key business advice when requested. I highly recommend him.

Tony Murphy - Managing Director, Hamilton Deed Ltd
Colin has fulfilled the role of non-executive finance director since the launch of Aberley in 2001. As well as what you could describe as the "usual" accountant services, Colin provides a valued insight to the direction and strategy of the company. He brings clarity and focus to the monthly board meeting and is a key player in our decision-making process.

Meirion Anderson - Managing Director, Aberley Ltd
I’ve worked with Colin since setting up my business in 2012. As I had no previous experience of book-keeping or company accounts, he guided me through the entire process, offering invaluable help and support all the way. Any problems or queries are always resolved quickly. Colin is very experienced, friendly and a pleasure to deal with. I would thoroughly recommend him to any small business looking for professional accounting services.
