Testimonials
"As a journalist and writer I want my focus to be entirely on research, meeting people and telling their stories. By appointing Lesser & Co as my accountants, I know for sure that the financial side of the business is looked after by professionals who offers a truly great service. I also find Lesser & Co very approachable whenever I have questions or issues I want to discuss with them."
Bjarte Valen – Journalist
“Lesser & Co have provided accountancy and tax advice to both Scott Knight and Dirty Harry's since 1990.
This enduring relationship has matured over 20 years + and has allowed Dirty Harry's to grow from a 'one-man band' (I originally sat before Stephen as a 21 year old on the Government's Enterprise Allowance Scheme during the 90's recession!) to a Group of Companies with a combined turnover in excess of £5.5 million per annum.
We have always found their advice to be sound and balanced.
Moreover - after 20 years as an entrepreneur - I have realized the benefit of an honest accountancy firm that offers long-term advice. Too many companies appear to offer unrealistic tax reduction or quick fixes. While taxation matters are not always the nicest things to discuss - I feel that Lesser and Co. have always provided us with firm but fair advice - delivered in an understandable and easy-digestible manner.
I feel comfortable saying that without Stephen's often 'fatherly' advice on taxation matters we would not have been in a sufficiently strong position to have survived the recent brutal economic downturn. Dirty Harry's financial strength and substantial retained profits - especially when so many companies leveraged themselves for quick returns - owes no small part to Lesser and Co.'s sage advice.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Lesser and Co to anyone seeking accountancy or tax advice.
My only hope it that their continued success allows them to keep their competitive pricing (at least for the next 20 years!)”

“We have a small company and were looking for a reliable, professional and easy to approach accountant. After having dealt with a couple of firms without much success, we have finally found Lesser and Co who so far, has proved to be reliable, professional and approachable.
Not only our end of year accounts have been dealt with professionalism and thoroughness but Mr. Stephen Lesser and his team have given us some precious advise and have always been very patient dealing with our numerous queries.

“Before starting my small business Lesser & Co were at hand to offer me all the advice and guidance I needed. They took care of the company registration process and made me feel confident I was in good hands. Since then, I've been nothing but delighted with the service they have provided for me. I have always found them to be friendly, generous with their time and readily available to assist with any queries I've had. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lesser & Co.”

“The service provided by Lesser & Co is friendly, fast and efficient and your firm is invaluable to me inasmuch as it is one of the few I know which is prepared to deal with the audit of small property management companies where the leaseholders of individual flats are also shareholders in the freehold. As a managing agent I have reason to thank you for the advice you have from time to time given me in connection with preparing and assembling the accounts material prior to audit.”
