Trade Clients Testimonials

I've been using SBX Accountants for my self-assessment and tax returns, and I honestly couldn't recommend them enough. As a builder, I’m always on site and don’t have time to deal with all the paperwork or figure out what I can and can’t claim. SBX makes it simple — they handle everything quickly and professionally.

SBX Accountants are fantastic! They’ve been handling my small construction company’s CIS and tax returns for the past year, and I’ve never had a single issue. They also gave me great advice on managing cash flow during a slow period, which really helped me stay afloat. The team is friendly, knowledgeable, and always goes the extra mile. 10/10

The team at SBX have really made sorting my CIS returns and Self Assessment so much easier. I used to stress about deadlines and whether I was paying too much tax, but they’ve really taken the pressure off. They know their stuff and have saved me both time and money - would definitely recommend them.
