I just wanted to take a moment to thank you DS Business Support for everything you’ve done for me over the past few months. When my business was in a difficult place, I honestly didn’t know where to start or which way to turn. Your professionalism, kindness and constant support have made all the difference. Whether by phone or email, you were always there with guidance and reassurance, and you’ve helped me bring my business completely up to date. Thanks to you, I now feel confident and free from worry, knowing I can always pick up the phone if I need your support again. I’m truly grateful for all your help and couldn’t have done it without you.
Tanya Long, The Foresters ArmsDS Business Support have been in charge of my bookkeeping and other business needs for nearly two years now. They helped me set up and register my business and everything else that goes with it. No job is too small for any member of the team. Queries are answered extremely quickly and if any urgent help is required they are on hand to speak over the phone. I cannot recommend them enough!
Sam Sims, Brunel Communications LtdI would like to write to ypu to say how pleased we are with the work of DS Business Support Ltd. I feel confident that all work done for us is in safe hands. They are meticulous in their work, on occasions picking up things that we have missed. I am not totally computer literate, however they take time to talk us through the process of downloading apps etc, and are always available on the telephone when we inevitably need their help. I can’t really praise them enough really.

DS Bookkeeping are professional, efficient and treat me as a person not just another sole trader on their books. I was a bit apprehensive about dealing with someone online plus I hadn't used a digital tax system before. But I trusted the fellow tradesman who recommended them and am happy that I did. They helped me set up everything, respond quickly and let me get on with looking after my customers rather than worrying about my accounts. Highly recommend.

We have been working with Marykate and her team for quite a while now. They are all very helpful and efficient. I liaise with Marykate the most. She is always very responsive to emails, always very efficient and helpful and a truly lovely person. I would recommend DS Business support to anyone. It’s 10 out of 10 for us.
DS Business Support have massively simplified the finance and bookkeeping at our company. I essentially rarely ever have to devote time or though to keeping the accounts in check which was exactly what I needed from them. Friendly, diligent and easy to work with.
Dom Clarke, Spiral Circus Ltd
I have been working with DS Business Support now for a few years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. As a freelancer with limited time on my hands I know I can be stress free when it comes to my accounts and expenses.
Bethan Langley, Lucid Shadow Studio
Marykate and the team have been brilliant, we have worked with them for a few years now and they really made our bookkeeping so much easier and less stressful. They help us get our multiple business and accounts set up and running smoothly on Xero and for what is a slightly complex business set up, they have taken it all in their stride and kept on top of things fantastically. We can definitely recommend them for your bookkeeping needs!
We have worked with Marykate and her team for the last year. We have found them to be efficient, inciteful, and extremely helpful. Their no nonsense approach has been very useful and helped bring order to our out of date system methods. We strongly recommend them.

DS Business Support is like having an additional internal department who can professionally handle your bookkeeping and provide advice and support. We see this as an essential for keeping our business running smoothly, the cash flow working well and our financial records up to date.
Marcus Chapman, Moorfield Estate Agents Ltd
Our experience working with DS Business/Bookkeeping has been outstanding. They are highly professional, exceptionally reliable, and consistently go above and beyond to support the Clifton BID. Their expertise and attention to detail have made managing our finances seamless, allowing us to focus on our projects and the community we serve. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.
My husband engaged the services of DS Business Support approximately 3 years ago as he was struggling to keep on top of the paperwork involved in his business as a self employed tradesman. Under the guidance, perseverance and support of Marykate it quickly became apparent that this was a breath of fresh air in the 36 years which my husband had been trading. In the relatively short period that DS Business Support has been working with us it has freed up more time for my husband to spend time with his family. We are immensely grateful to Marykate for her continued support and as we approach our 40th trading year we look forward to our future business relationship. We cannot recommend DS Business Support highly enough for anyone that wants to take the paperwork stress of running a business away from them.
Samuel Hurley and Antonio Wedral, Novos
We are so pleased our accountant put us in touch with Marykate and her team at DS Business Support, they have taken the burden of running the paperwork side of the business away so we can focus on our jobs. First class service and always on the end of the phone if there are any questions. I would highly recommend using DS Business Support.
We've been working with DS Business for almost 3 years now and have got nothing but positive things to say about our whole experience. Marykate and the team inherited a difficult set of accounts but soon tidied everything up and had our accounts, VAT, and PAYE in order. Marykate broke everything down and made the process easy to understand. Ongoing bookkeeping is now a straightforward process for us. Highly recommend!
We've worked with the DS Business Support team for over 3 years now and are super happy with how responsive they are to general questions as well as bigger reporting changes that are defined by our CFO consultants. More than trustworthy to just pick up comms with wider stakeholders whether it's staff members, our end of year accountant or external consultants.
DS Business Support: Been a great addition to the business, money well spent, the knowledge and support is second to none.
Edgaras Zilinskas, Fire immunity Ltd
Working with Marykate and her team gives you nothing but confidence; confidence that "they know their stuff," confidence that they are being proactive and confidence that deadlines will always be met. They work with you to keep your business moving and we consider them part of our team.
