Clay Ratnage have been taking care of our financial matters, including but not limited to annual tax returns, guidance and advice on the format and use of management accounts, PAYE services and the performance of Workplace Pensions.

In particular, Mr. Yusuf Dedat has personally overseen much of the above for more than 10 years, always prompt, attentive, efficient and willing to go the extra mile on all matters financial and otherwise. His problem-solving skills are highly valued.

The Clay Ratnage team have many years since removed the burden of Payroll processing and reporting from our shoulders, more recently also the Workplace Pension and all its administration, and the associated tax management, faultless and efficiently to our total satisfaction. I highly recommend Yusuf and his team without hesitation.

Steve Ashton - Ashton Industrial Sales Limited
