More than often I have used different options provided at really odd times (late night, you remember something that you want a solution or answer) that includes the live support past 10 pm too. So spot on Association of Legal Compliance & Accounts. Care, passion sincerity, integrity and honesty all gets ✅️

Thank you.

Just plain simple gratitude.

I first “met” Darren when I signed up for some accounts courses.  I gained so much from them as he is an excellent tutor, explaining complex topics in a simple but not patronising way. I feel I got to know him during the pandemic when he was there for us – accounts staff, practice managers and anyone else interested in all things accounting – supporting, encouraging and just being there, giving us a safe space in which to air, express and ask.  I gained knowledge enabling me to improve processes, reassurance that we were doing things correctly and confidence to switch on my camera in an online meeting!  I also gained a friend.

Darren has been the most helpful of contacts to me in the legal accounting profession throughout the last decade. He understands and applies the SRA Accounts Rules to as high a standard as anyone I’ve ever come across, whilst his knowledge of VAT is especially extraordinary. What stands him apart, though, is his ability to communicate that wealth of information in such an engaging manner – bringing to life these (often rather mundane) topics with charisma and humour. During the difficulty of lockdowns his online presence was precious to many fellow professionals.

Darren is a fountain of knowledge. He cuts through the jargon and gives practical, clear and succinct advice. I know that whatever the question, he will respond quickly and professionally, highly recommended!

Finance Manager, Austin Moore LLP

From someone who’d never worked in a finance team before, he taught me everything I know. Not only is Darren exceptionally knowledgeable with regard to legal finance compliance, he was instrumental in helping us set up the back office of our business. He’s helped us through various finance implementations and migrations over the years and there isn’t any problem that Darren can’t resolve/answer.

I have been using Darren Whelan for all my VAT and SRA Accounts Rules questions for many years and what he doesn’t know on these subjects isn’t worth knowing.

Commonly referred to as our ‘VAT oracle’ at HQ, he responds in a professional and timely manner to a wide range of questions and queries and I can’t recommend his services highly enough.
