Bo Powell

Junior Accountant

We moved to Daniel C Short accountancy after our first year of trading, as our accountant at the time was poor with communication and unwilling to explain the process to us. Daniel has been an incredibly attentive and helpful addition to our operations, and we absolutely could not be happier! If you find accounting a daunting prospect (as I did) then moving to DSA will be the smartest decision for your firm.
