Blue Rocket suggested I changed the way I was getting paid as a director. This saved me over £10,000 which I was then able to put back into the business.

Peter Abrahams
Abounding Ltd

Excellent accounting service. Blue Rocket takes the stress and hassle out of trying to complete a self assessment tax return yourself!

Graham Ramsdale

A far cry from our previous accountants who did things manually and left me feeling anxious with many errors made. I’ve only been with them for a few weeks, but they’ve shown more attention, consideration and customer service than any of my previous accounts combined.
