Testimonials

"DSM have accountants that specialise in both the dental sector, and in working with limited companies. They were able to restructure the company from the ground up to suit the NHS, our private income and HMRC, with a huge tax reduction, all for the less money than we paid to incorporate in the first place. Since then I have been introduced to monthly management accounts (unheard of at the last accountants) meaning that I now have a much firmer grasp on the business and am driving the business forwards in a way I didn’t think possible with higher profit, lower tax and therefore money to reinvest!"

“I have had a very successful business launch and much of that success is down to the advice and support provided by DSM. Mark sees all my e-mails even if I am dealing with other members of his team, he is always involved and available. His advice has been invaluable. During the last twelve months I have got to know Mark and Gillian very well and they are incredible people. Not only are they effective and professional through their practice but they are kind, decent human beings as well who play a leading role in the community, tirelessly supporting good causes and helping our lovely local area wherever they can. This is very important to me and I feel fortunate to have the Darbyshire’s as business allies."

"As a small new business set up many years ago, we had never needed an Accountant before, having enjoyed the benefits of being employees, where all that difficult stuff re tax etc was done for us! The transition to self employment was a fantastic decision and having known both Mark and Gillian, as dear friends and loyal supporters in all our Charity work for cancer and other worthy charities, it was a clear decision to ask them to do everything on the Accountancy front. They are both and will always be the Best In Breed, our term (!) not used lightly in our Chow Chow / dog world! Efficient, understanding, approachable, great listening techniques, tenacity to get to the right solution which suited us and benefited us financially whilst keeping within the bands of the all so important law. Gillian, always a workhorse behind the scenes, Mark quite rightly at the forefront in a client facing Accountancy role, doing their uppermost best in such unselfish ways, whilst supporting a great team behind the scenes. Both completely understand what makes Small and Medium Enterprises tick!"

"Every interaction our company has had with our accountants, DSM, has been entirely professional. Our enquiries are dealt with promptly, precisely and all in an informative and friendly manner. As we’ve grown, DSM have clearly demonstrated an ability to match our progress and have given us a peace of mind that allows us to concentrate on our core business, safe in the knowledge that our accountancy is in great hands. They have undertaken in depth tax planning, company structure business advice and HMRC R&D for our company which has made a huge difference in tax savings and tax planning. I cannot recommend this business and its staff highly enough."

"We have had numerous accountants over the years – none of which totally understood our needs – dsm are in a different league to all the others – we have never been as happy with the advice and constant help that they provide to our business – everybody should have an accountant like them."
