Ballards LLP - Droitwich

From the outset Ballards demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. Their team was not only highly responsive when addressing our queries but also exhibited a clear commitment to ensuring the quality of the submitted R&D report. The organised approach adopted by Ballards streamlined the process of gathering necessary information for the submission, making it a quick and easy task for our team.

I was particularly pleased with Ballards effort to understand our business thoroughly before commencing the report preparation. This tailored approach allowed them to grasp the nuances of our operations, ensuring that the final report accurately reflected the qualifying R&D activities for tax purposes. In addition, Ballards took time to explain the criteria for qualifying R&D to our internal R&D team. This enabled our R&D experts to clearly articulate why our activities were eligible to be included in the tax credit claim.

Finally, Ballards' efficient handling of the submission and administration with HMRC meant that our finance team was not overly distracted by the claim and was able to focus on our core business activities throughout.

Ballards have handled our personal and business accounts since 2011 and have always given excellent, professional and prompt service. I would highly recommend them.

Shocking service after creating an absolute mess. Tens of thousands of pounds spent with promise after promise to correct their errors and mistakes. Not trustworthy, a simple task gone very very wrong all because of Ballards! Avoid.

If I could give less than 1 star I would , After paying out tens of thousands of pounds under there guidance what a mess they have made, These people you put your trust in and they get it completely wrong leaving you to pick up the pieces, not even offering to put right a wrong , leaves a bad taste , and I’m not going away until it’s put right to my satisfaction.absolutely no morals or conscience, emailed Syree the owner and got a lovely email back offering to sort out the issues with onerous clauses ,Hope you sleep well at night ! It gets worse, now trying to defend there absolute mess that they have made your are absolutely unbelievable just put right at your cost, see your star (now employee) who was a partner has resigned but still works for you ! What a coincidence that is .

Our experience of Ballards has shown us how well a fusion of old style "family values" can merge with bang up to date knowledge and thinking to create superb client service. As a family we are most impressed with the guidance and help we have received. A clever and resourceful group of people, with the human touch. Strongly recommended.

The team at Ballards have been providing professional services to our company for the past 9 years. The service has been excellent. Having highly competent trusted advisors like Ballards has allowed us to make decisions with confidence and focus on the business.

They messed up a simple vat return. They forget basic aspects on my companies corporation tax like utilities and bills. Every question was met with a more confusing answer. They took ZERO responsibility for their mistakes. It felt like they had the expertise but didn't have the time because they had bigger fish to fry. After this review they suddenly became very helpful. I only wish they were like that when I was employing them.
