Businesses that trust Sorley
"We've worked with Sorley for years. They're professional, thorough and meet every deadline. They make accounting smooth for our business. I'd 100% recommend them to handle the books for any business."
"We moved to Dan about two years ago and he's answered every question in an easy-to-understand way. Our work needs real discretion, and he's more than satisfied us on that front."
"Having changed to Sorley because mine retired, I've found them more than helpful and the transition seamless. They're very responsive when I've had to call them, which is what's needed in a small business."
“Great service and advice. Very helpful and always had time to sort through things. Thanks all at Sorley.”
“Daniel is really easy to deal with and generates our accounts in a timely manner. We’ve used him for a number of years now and are very happy with his service.”
“Would highly recommend Daniel. From helping me set up my business nearly six years ago, to doing payroll for my apprentice and my business accounts every year.”
“Just starting out with Sorley Accountants and they have made the process so easy with both our companies, setting up payroll etc. Great family run business based in Blackpool.”
“We’ve teamed up with Sorley Accountants for all of our business accounts. Anyone who knows me knows I’m very picky about who I work with, and in this instance I feel like I’ve got the final piece. They’re a family business like us, open and honest about their pricing, no pushy sales tactics, and the kettle is always on whenever you want to pop in.”
