I have been extremely impressed with the service provided by Kennedys Accountant. Their team is highly professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything is handled accurately and efficiently.
They provide clear advice, excellent communication, and make even complex financial matters easy to understand. Whether it's tax planning, bookkeeping, accounts preparation, or general business advice, their attention to detail and commitment to their clients is outstanding.

I feel confident knowing my finances are in expert hands, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional accounting firm.

I’ve been using Kennedys Accounting for my business and I honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Nettie and her team are incredible – approachable, professional, and they genuinely care about their clients and their businesses. Nettie is also very consultative and consistently offers valuable business advice and support, which has made a real difference to us.
Chris, our Account Manager, is responsive, informative, and a pleasure to work with. He’s always efficient and available at short notice whenever I have queries or need support, which makes such a difference when you’re running a business.
The whole team is friendly, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to deal with.
Always great service from Kennedys Accounting Ltd team! Have been using their services for years and their staff are helpful and knowledgeable. It’s important for us to use a local Kent based company who can look after a small business. We find their monthly payment option ideal for us and also like that they always try to submit our returns well ahead of the HMRC deadline.

Could not recommend these guys more. They helped me through every stage, as it was my first filing for a Ltd company I was very overwhelmed at the start. Nicola and Marie were always there to explain and break everything down for me.
Thanks!

I've been using RIFT (now Kennedys's Accounting) for 6 years as a full-time self-employed illustrator and they have completely removed all the stress I used to have dealing with my tax returns! I've recommended them to my freelancing artist buddies whenever they ask how I manage my taxes. As someone who's not comfortable dealing with all the paperwork and tricky finance language, they're able to explain everything in plain English and demystify the process. I also have to mention that they helped me when I was unable to work due to a health emergency that landed me in hospital. They spoke to me on the phone and sorted my accounting then too. Fantastic service, thank you!
I have been a customer almost Ten years, we are slowly growing as a company having Kennedys managing our accounts is a great asset to the future of our growing business.
Kennedys Accounting are a fast reliable and trusted organisation I've been using there services for many years. They have always helped me in every way possible. Jin has been handling my accounts and always has been fast and efficient getting things done quickly. I would highly recommend Kennedys Accounting Ltd if your in need of a good accountant.
Kennedy's have been our accountants for the last 3 years, and as we've grown, they've provided invaluable accounting advice for our business.
I’m really happy with these guys. They made two of my company grow and really happy with there team!
Rift accounting has helped me for a number of years now. They are very prompt and do an excellent job. Everything is done electronically and they provide a very hassle-free experience. Emily and her team are very quick to respond to questions. Their prices are also reasonable, and the turnaround time is very quick.
Rift have been our accountants for many years providing company and personal accounts, tax and payroll. They are always friendly and quick to respond to any queries, excellent service throughout. I highly recommend.

I have been with RIFT for 6 years and as a small business owner they provide great advice and service at an affordable price. My current account manager is Chris Wood, who has been great, providing expert advice during a period of transition for both me and my business, as well as being responsive and efficient in turning around my accounts in a very timely and professional manner.
We've been working with the Rift Team for a number of years and I'm extremely pleased with our working relationship. The normal accounting stuff is done professionally and always on time - it's all the extra advice, help and guidance that has been really useful. This year accounts were completed by Shaun and we must say it was the best layout and communication we ever had !Well done ✅ Dan deals with our Vat and is professional, friendly and always willing to help . Emma Fox also very professional and kind! Thank you Rift team and keep up the hard work!! Massimo & Justyna
RIFT Accounting really are terrific - I'm a happy client with all my companies and my personal stuff, and have been for years.
I deal with Luke the most and he and the rest of the team are always super responsive to queries, very knowledgeable and just nice folk to deal with.
Highly recommended (and I often do!).
Hugely appreciate the effort gone to be extra sure on sometimes tricky matters - this is why I'm glad to be using RIFT rather than one of those cheap new tech-driven disruptors! Always feel taken care of and like they genuinely care for my business rather than "just another client."
We've been working with the Rift Team for a number of years and I'm extremely pleased with our working relationship. The normal accounting stuff is done professionally and always on time - it's all the extra advice, help and guidance that has been really useful. I also like monthly billing as this certainly helps with cash flow for a small company (10 members of staff).
