Paula Steere
I have used M J Payne Ltd for tax advice relating to the UK and abroad. In all cases Matthew has been extremely professional and reliable. He clarified what would have been a minefield to me. This has been essential in making informed decisions on important matters. I recommend his services without hesitation. More...

You run your business, but having up-to-date reports of the state of your finances, and knowing your bank balance and cash flows in real-time will make it much easier for you to get on with what you do best.
What do you love most about your job?
Actually I enjoy interacting with people most of all, keeping up constructive communication in working towards a common purpose. An accountant should be part of the team, not just the tax-compliance backstop.

Variety. It is very satisfying to be able to contribute to the progress of many different types of businesses.
