What a breath of fresh air!

We are so impressed with Baranov Associates. Chris and Liz are super professional and also very friendly and approachable. All of their work is completed promptly and to a high standard, with great communication at every stage.

Being a small firm, they quickly got to know our business and they take the time help us and offer advice, even outside of "doing our accounts".

We were a little nervous about switching from a larger company to work with Liz and Chris, but communication is so much better and the work-life balance that they have seemingly managed to achieve is enviable.

We're really pleased that we moved from a larger firm, thank you.

Chris and Liz are kind and understanding people as well as being talented, well informed business growth accountants. That matters a lot to people like me... and every small business owner should have a Chris and Liz in their lives.

I have known Chris as my accountant for more than 40 years .Chris has dealt with the disposals of 2 businesses on my behalf, dealt with 2 tax investigations and has won always .
Both Chris and his more than able wife Liz are nothing short of the best , help when needed, knowledge of their profession, faultless.
I can honestly say it has been a pleasure working with both Chris and Liz

Having worked with Chris and Liz for many years we find them to be knowledgeable, very responsive and always willing to listen /add value.

All this is done with a friendly approach and a positive attitude.

First class service.

Liz and Chris have been my accountants for several years and they've really shone during the Covid-19 lockdown. Chris set up a call with me to discuss the effects of the lockdown on businesses, and gave me some great advice and things to think about. Liz, in turn, has provided regular email and video updates of the latest Covid-related support schemes, and the 'little things' to watch out for that aren't always expressly explained. Despite the disruption, Baranov Associates have responded to all of my queries quickly, patiently, and professionally, and I genuinely can't think of anything they could do better.

Choosing Baranov Associates to be our accountants was the smartest move we ever made. We have monthly meetings with Chris, he is our outsourced FD, to discuss the management accounts and where we are against budget. This provides us with greater clarity and focus in the business and makes a huge difference to where the business is heading. Chris explains everything in a plain and simple language which is what I like. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

When we first set-up our company, Oliver Myles Events, Chris Baranov was the first port of call for myself and my business partner. He took us through the steps and talked about the options that we needed to consider. Beyond that he was able to give us ideas of how we might cope with the early pressures of running a business.
As neither my business partner or I had run our own business before there were areas that we had not considered. We had a great deal of expertise in our abilities to promote our product and deliver, beyond that we needed help. We got in bundles both from Chris and later Liz.
Seven years on I do not think we would be in the position we are now without them.
I heartily recommend them, not just for their business skills, but because they are really really nice people. They genuinely care about your success.

Chris and Liz were fantastic to work with. We had a last minute requirement and they were able to help us out quickly and professionally and within our budget. Would strongly recommend for anyone looking for high-quality, affordable price.
