They will always go the extra mile to provide you with the highest level of service and ensure your accounting obligations are met and any financial issues and queries are solved promptly and accurately.

Our Client Service Guarantee means that if you contact us with a query before 3pm on any working day, we’ll respond the same day or we’ll issue you with a £50 compensation payment.
Switching To Gorilla Accounting
One of the disadvantages of Sole Trader proprietorship is that you can be very busy and therefore might stay with your current accountant even if you’re receiving a poor standard of service or overpaying. It might seem like you’re too busy to change accountants but it’s sensible to frequently review your relationship with your accountant as well as any other advisors.
We know time is a precious commodity when you run a Sole Trader business. This is why switching to Gorilla couldn’t be any easier. We will take care of everything on your behalf and you’ll be up and running and enjoying the benefits of the Gorilla Accounting service and FreeAgent in no time thanks to our efficient, streamlined switching and onboarding process. We can even liaise with your previous accountant on your behalf to obtain the required accounting records and information.
