Cadenza Alpacas, an Alpaca farm situated in Little Torrington, was founded in February 2014. From a small start, it is now a fully functioning breeding herd with studs sires, breeding mums and youngstock.

I have been using Steve Cresswell to do my accounts for 14 years now. Originally I used him because my parents did. He helped sort out the mess when both parents suddenly died in 2003 and has been doing my books ever since. I had a fairly large cafe business for ten years and now I have just a small alpaca business. He always goes the extra mile for me and I totally trust him with my financial affairs. Steve and his team are professional and friendly and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a good accountant.

I have been a client of Parkhurst Hill & Thomas Westcott for over 4 years and previously my father was a client for over 15 years before he retired.

The staff have all been extremely helpful with my questions (no matter how small or silly). They are friendly, efficient and extremely passionate about each individual client.

I have been treated as one of the family, with each bit of paperwork, email and account, I have been treated with respect, care and incredible attention to detail. I cannot say enough good things about this incredible company and the splendid staff.

Thomas Westcott have been dealing with my tax affairs for the past six years and throughout that period, Paul Petrides, a former partner and now a consultant at the practice, has provided my accountancy services. Paul’s professionalism is second to none. As well as being extremely knowledgeable, he has the ability to explain complicated issues in a simple manner and focus on the salient issues. My affairs have not always been straightforward, particularly following the acquisition of a company for which I was a major shareholder. Also, my overseas commitments necessitated effective communication, both electronic and hastily arranged meetings, which was never a problem for the practice.

So for me, Thomas Westcott is synonymous with Paul Petrides, but I recognise that the exceptional service that I have enjoyed is a function of both Paul’s abilities and the backing of a leading independent accountancy practice.

Subway is a privately owned company and one of the largest growing franchises in the world, now located in over 100 countries, it is the largest single brand restaurant chain in the world. 

Having recently been subject to a VAT assurance visit, I have relied heavily on the tax advice and expertise provided by Annette Stone at Thomas Westcott. At what can be an anxious and stressful time, Annette was a reassuring and professional presence who was able to guide me through the process of dealing with HMRC. Her advice and preparation in advance of the HMRC visit was invaluable and it was a great help to have Annette’s presence throughout the meetings with the Compliance Officer. I am certain her professionalism aided in a successful outcome for my business and I would not hesitate to recommend her services for any company requiring tax advice.
