Here’s a sample of some of the comments our customers have passed back to us.
“I approached Debbie several years ago to manage the accountancy function for my first company. I was looking for someone who would help me develop my sketchy business ideas and with whom I could develop a long-term professional relationship. I have never considered using anyone else ever since. Debbie and her team have offered invaluable help, support and advice over the past few years and I am extremely grateful for the part she has played in the development of our two companies. I would recommend Debbie and her team without reservation. I look forward to working together for many more years to come.”

“Peter is unlike any other accountant I have ever met and to call him an accountant does him a disservice. He is much more a strategic business advisor.
As well as being excellent technically he spends time with me understanding my business. He encourages me to think strategically and has helped me to successfully develop my business to be a world brand leader in trombones.
He has also been proactive in saving me tax.
If you are looking for a business advisor and accountant who thinks strategically and will save you tax I would strongly recommend Peter of Sleigh and Story.”

“Peter has always provided a great service to Fibre Architects since our formation in 2009, including sound business advice & planning, company accounts preparation and advice on personal and company taxation issues, as well as PAYE advice and payroll.

“Aspire Development Ltd is a Management Development consultancy business, and in 2011 we asked Debbie to work with us as a ‘subject matter expert’ in designing and delivering a Finance Assessment Centre for one of our large corporate European clients.
Debbie was exceptional in what she did; she managed the client relationship really well, and her attention to detail and business approach throughout the project was excellent.
As a person, Debbie is open, friendly and approachable, and I would strongly recommend her work as business consult and as an Accountant”

“Peter has a strong business focus. He is always keen to understand the whole picture of a business so he can act as a Financial Partner to support business growth, rather than simply “do the accounts”. Peter and the team also provide a reliable and timely service to clients”

“I have worked with Debbie Story from the inception of my company. From the setting up of the company through to the production of annual accounts the quality of service delivered by Sleigh & Story has been excellent. In particular the level of personal service received from Debbie herself has been tremendous, adding real value to our business – a tangible value that can be seen on the bottom line.”

“We are possibly the fastest growing independent company selling model trains, cars, boats & planes on the internet and now at our new bricks and mortar model shop. We can say with 100% confidence that we would not be where we are today with out the help and advice from Debbie and her team. As a result we look on Debbie as a friend and colleague who is an integral part of our business.
We would not hesitate for one moment in recommending Debbie and her Company to anyone looking for accountancy services.”

We have recommended Peter’s services on many occasions and will continue to do so at every opportunity.

“Debbie is always top of my list of people to recommend to others- both on a business and personal level.
As part of Sleigh & Story, Debbie is an innovative and pro-active person who excels in her field. We have used them for our accountancy and business development services since we began in 2005 and will continue to do so for many more years.
Debbie has always been available to discuss matters with and makes a visit to the “accountants” relaxing and enjoyable.
When it comes to our figures……Sleigh & Story are our Number 1.”
