 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark is a fantastic accountant, he is organised, communicates instruction well and responds promptly. Mark has helped me with my business accounts, to go digital, and file my returns. Mark specialises in a number of accountancy software packages, including my own, FreeAgent, so he talked me through it and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend Mark!

He has been so good at making sure all our paper work is up to date and we understand all of it.   When you are running your own business there is so much to think about and Mark has really helped us lift the load the financial admin that can often feel quite daunting.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can highly recommend Mark Howard from Skymark Financial Accountants and Finance. After my first accountant went AWOL I have been looking for an accountant to take over my payroll and accounts and one that was familiar with my companies preferred system and not have to change to their preferred software. In a very short time Mark had everything sorted and looks after all my financial matters now. I’m so impressed with his knowledge and expertise on FreeAgent and Xero I refer him to all my clients who are looking for an accountant with the knowledge they are in good hands. Mark truly cares about his clients and more importantly does what he says he’ll do and delivers on time. He takes his time to understand his clients needs. I’ve never had an accountant like him who is proactive and communicates with his clients without the jargon. Mark runs my monthly reports, let’s me know how best to save on tax matters and nothing is too much trouble. I’m so pleased to have him as my accountant. Thanks Carol ExecProVA

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Skymark Financial Ltd since the start of the year, with my start-up business Real Waste Solutions.  Mark Howard has been a great help, leading me through the financial minefield that is setting up a new business and putting the correct systems in place.  I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking for an accountant.
