Richard Place Dobson have taken care of my Personal Tax for many years and have done a fantastic job ensuring I pay the right tax when returns can be a little more complex. I can recommend Jordan Keates, being very knowledgeable and responsive.

I have been dealing with the finalisation of my late step-mother's estate and came upon a problem with tax which she owed. I paid this tax promptly but was given a penalty for late payment. Jordan Keates had sorted everything out for me and had reduced the amount we thought we would have to pay, which was much appreciated. However, when the penalty for late payment was received, we were not happy! Jordan has sorted all of that out for me and I am due to receive a refund of that money, for which I am very grateful. I shall have no hesitation to recommend Jordan Keates for all of his hard , knowledgeable work and courteous manner on the telephone. Thank you Jordan.

I'm a new client to Richard Place and Dobson. But from the start working with Samantha Hawkins as been like a breath of fresh air. She's not only extremely responsive but takes the time to clearly explain anything I am not sure about and cares about my business. A pleasure to work with. Equally I have had the pleasure of working with other members of the team. Janet Marshall, Anna Szelest-Wozny and Hannah Wheatley and they have all been incredibly diligent and kind. I couldn't recommend them enough.

We have been using Richard Place Dobson to do our accounts for many years now and would highly recommend them . Last week, on Friday we had an issue with our Sage software and they went above and beyond to help get this fixed. David was really helpful and knowledgeable and I wouldn't have been able to fix this issue without him.

What can I say? They’ve been in business for over 100 years and we’ve have been with them for over 50 of them! They have guided us through our personal tax returns, advised us on buying and running a couple of businesses and, many years later, selling them. We have obviously dealt with several members of the team over the years but found them all to be very knowledgeable and very approachable. If you’re looking for anything to do with accountancy, business advice or taxation, give them a call, you won’t regret it! Margaret & Vic Loughran.

A professional, but still friendly accountancy firm with all the benefits you would expect from such a large organisation. We were with them for about 25 years and would recommend them to anyone who needed their level of expertise.

Can’t recommend Richard Place Dobson enough. Was helped by Jordan who was extremely helpful and very supportive especially providing invaluable knowledge with regard to capital gains tax. I will most definitely be using Richard Place Dobson and Jordan in particular again to guide me through any financial queries I may encounter or future services I may require.

I engaged Karl Carraher and Matthew Tyson to provide me with taxation advice regarding a purchase and structure of a residential property within a limited company structure, and cannot express how highly I would rate their knowledge of HMRC regulations, professionalism and all-round customer service. Karl was a wealth of knowledge and was able to explain complex tax liabilities in a clear and simple to understand manner. His detailed understanding of HMRC legislation is truly incredible. Matthew was always courteous, extremely punctual in his replies to requests for information, and responded to emails at all hours, day or night. Their fees are also very competitive and I would highly recommend their services.

I used RPD for probate services and ongoing tax returns. Jordan dealt with both of these and during this difficult time he was always both professional and kind. Nothing was too much trouble and he responded to all my many worries and queries efficiently and sympathetically. I would definitely recommend.
