Testimonials

I moved to Tom Geraghty and Associates because my self-employed work can vary between tax years and my previous accountants charged a flat rate which was sometimes more than the tax due. I didn't really want all the fuss of changing over, but once I contacted them, this was all arranged quickly and smoothly. I was also impressed with the sensible, practical approach to the fee for what was a very small tax liability for that accounting period, and this has made me very confident about being in good hands for the future. Service is always really prompt and cheerful by email or phone. What more can you want from your accountants!

We moved to working with Ellen at Tom Geraghty Accountants just a few months ago, in that short time the amount of support and help has been amazing. They have more than exceeded our expectations and only wish we had found Ellen and Tom years ago, such a lovely team. Ellen has been so attentive and looked after our needs so well, especially with our change over to Xero for our day to day book keeping. Their expert knowledge and super fast response is second to none, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a down to earth, easy to understand company that makes accounts much less scary and complicated.

We are a longstanding, small, family haulage business based in Newark and Tom Geraghty has been our accountant for 25 years. Throughout our time with Tom and the team, we have found them to be very helpful and always available to give advice when we ask which we appreciate a lot. We have received lot of additional support when the family have been going through tough times which is above and beyond our expectations of general accountants. We have found them to always be willing to provide us with what we need with no hesitations. We look forward to many more years working with them.

I moved to Tom Geraghty & Associates in June of 2018. Rachel does my bookkeeping and Making Tax Digital VAT returns and she has looked after me very well. By transferring by bookkeeping from paper-based to cloud-based, Rachel has cut the time it takes to keep my business' books in half.

Using cloud-based software she has also been able to improve the quality of my books, so everything is a lot clearer for me and I can instantly see the financial position of my business. I can't thank her, and TGA, enough. moving my business here has been the best decision I've ever made!

I spoke to Polly at Geraghty’s about transferring my paper based book keeping to digital. I was surprised how painless the process was, Rachel delivered the work on time and on budget. It now takes Rachel 1-2 hours per month to do my books, it saves me about 5 hours per month and the reporting makes running my business simpler and more efficient. I am delighted with the decision to work with them, the service is excellent and there’s always a smile when you visit their office.

Ellen has helped me sort out a number of little things to help my understanding of how the accounting world works.

Her help has been an invaluable lesson for me in how to run my accounts.

As I am new to this, I can honestly say I would have really been struggling to understand what I need to do.

A massive well done to her and TGA for employing such a wonderful and attentive person like Ellen. She truly is a huge asset to your company and brand .

I’m always impressed with his vast knowledge, speed of service and ability to listen, understand and advise. This firm has enhanced my finances and simplified my life! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

I expected a high standard of professionalism and competence from Tom Geraghty & Associates and I was not disappointed. I am particularly pleased by the service provided by Sue. Her attention to detail and perseverance in obtaining information from much less professional organisations is to be commended.

—Mrs Margaret Gash

Tom and Holly have looked after all our accounting needs to a very high standard since Tom Geraghty Associates was formed. They have recently guided us through the transition to a cloud based accounting system very successfully. We would not hesitate to recommend them to other businesses.

I have been very satisfied with the work of Tom Geraghty and his team. I was referred to Tom by a supplier and I have since recommended them onto several more businesses. The firm has a good knowledge of key platforms like Sage & Xero as well as personal and business tax advice. Lots of knowledge all under one local roof.

— Ben mason, redmay civils & groundcare limited

In the past I have been frustrated by firms that just seem to make it hard work - taking too long to reply, not really getting to the bottom of the issue at hand or passing you from one trainee to the next...

None of this with Tom and the team, I have always received timely excellent advice, which has saved me money. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

—Will Bicknell, Carsift Limited

Having recently started my own business, I was confused and concerned about how to handle my accountancy. I decided to go with Tom Geraghty & Associates, and this has proved to be my best decision. The help and assistance I have received, has been second to none. Both Holly and Tom have gone out of their way to make me feel extremely comfortable with complex accounting, even helping massively with things out of their remit like helping me set up my own PAYE. I cannot recommend them highly enough, and will definitely be using them for all of my future accountancy.

I have run my own solicitors' practice for over 30 years with Tom Geraghty as my accountant from the start. I have found him utterly reliable and efficient. His calm, unassuming and down-to-earth manner inspires confidence. He has dealt with all the vagaries of HMRC with insight and the absence of any fuss. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone needing the services of an experienced accountant.

When I established myself as a sole trader, Tom was instrumental in helping me to understand the process and ensuring that I met all tax requirements quickly and easily.

—Simon Garner

I am a barrister, maybe good at the law but not at accounts. Tom has been my accountant for around 15 years. His efficiency counteracts my clear inefficiency and disorganisation. He is calm, professional, approachable and readily available to answer financial queries at short notice. I have no hesitation in recommending his services to others as I have done in the past.

—Dr Mary Hughes

Tom Geraghty has supported the work of Eakring Farming Ltd and associated businesses since 1997 through some difficult times, which involved significant restructuring of the businesses. Tom, and the rest of the organisation, have always provided expert advice in a timely fashion in a highly personal and bespoke way. Louise and I cannot speak too highly of the services they have and continue to provide.

—Dr Chris Parsons

Everyone at Tom Geraghty & Associates has always been so helpful, answering any of my questions & making sure I am kept up to date. For a Director of a new business this had been invaluable.

— Jayne carter, ignite education limited

My grandparents used Tom as their accountant in the 1980’s up until their deaths in 2014/2015. Tom helped me a lot with their financial affairs before and after their deaths, something which in my early 20’s I was very daunted by. Subsequently when Tom opened his new practice I went with him, as I’d recently set up as self-employed.

Tom and his wonderful team have always been at the end of the phone and replied to emails straight away with any questions I’ve had about running a business and current legislation etc.

Tom's team have done payroll for my staff weekly and submitted either my carefully itemized folder of paperwork or bin bag of paperwork for the tax man.

I’ve known Tom all my life. He’s acted as my accountant and assisted me as my business, as many other peoples has, had to change so significantly due to the pandemic.

Tom has been a massive strength to me over the last 15 years and his team are wonderful. All the staff I’ve come into contact with have always been kind, helpful and incredibly knowledgeable.

It’s a privilege for me to have known Tom personally and through business for so many years- long may it continue.
