Alun has been a wealth of knowledge to us and worth his weight in gold - easy going, no jargon and a great asset to our business. His shirts are too loud though!!

I have dealt with Alun Griffiths since 2008, during which time they have provided my business with excellent accounting support. Their work has been excellent and they are always there to help with any queries in both business and personal matters. I can confidently recommend GS Accountants as a solid and reliable accountancy firm especially for small business which require a more personal approach.

Mal Richardson

G.S. Accountants no-fuss website, attracted me to their services in 2008. A refreshing blue sky approach to accounting made working with Alun extremely straight forward. With a broad knowledge base, and currency regarding recent changes in the law, G.S. Accountants made a lasting first impression. After an initial consultation, G.S. are now my preferred advisors. For excellent communication, and personal service, I would recommend their services.
