5 star rated on Google Business

Louis's services to support submission of our Innovate UK Grant claim were second to none. His knowledge and experience in the funding we had been granted was pivotal in ensuring all our auditing needs were covered. We met several times over video-call; Louis is professional, friendly and was very helpful over email too. Louis was meticulous in his answers, and got back to all our questions promptly. We had a tight turn-around and Louis eased the pressure enormously, and provided everything that was needed for a seamless submission to Innovate UK. There were no issues with our claim, and am sure this is due to Louis's expertise. I enjoyed working with Louis, and we look forward to using Calc Accounting Ltd's service for our next required audit! Thanks Louis!"
