We started with CED when we started our business in 2012. They immediately made us feel more confident as we moved from regular pay employees into running our own business. We would strongly recommend CED for all aspects of a new businesses accounting and tax requirements.

Our business grew organically over the last few years from a £1M turnover UK based business to a £5M business trading internationally. CEDAS guided and grew with us, from producing tax returns and accounts in the early days to assisting us with overseas trading advice and the disposal process when the business was sold in 2022. During that sales process CEDAS appointed a team to help us with buyer negotiation and advise, liaising with solicitors and tax advice. Post sale, CEDAS continues to offer tax advice and investment guidance.
The support from the team in the 18 months leading to the sale was invaluable, we truly wouldn’t have benefitted as much as we did without their support and guidance.
