Everything we do is for the benefit of our amazing clients…

We have to say that switching from a well known accountancy firm to the Orenda Collective was a great decision and one that should have been done sooner, considering the poor service we received from our previous accountants! Abbie at the Orenda Collective has been brilliant and handles our small company accounts brilliantly. We are so well looked after and have a lot of communication with her, that we are well ahead of schedule, with regards to knowing what need to pay HMRC as a company and as individuals, which is such a relief! The service received is the second to none! I/we cannot recommend the Orenda Collective highly enough, especially for their attentive service, great advice, taking care of our accounts and getting things done quickly and professionally!
