Clients
At Dufton Kellner, we act for hundreds of businesses and in numerous industries and professions. If they have one thing in common it’s that they’re looking for more than just a bean counter; instead, they are looking for a business partner who provides advice that they rely on and responds quickly to their needs, often before they’ve even thought of the question. But we would say that, wouldn’t we?! So here, in their own words, are what some of our clients have to say.

Chris Boardman
Olympic Cycling Gold Medallist, founder of Boardman Bikes, TV commentator
"I leave all that I hate to do with money to my excellent accountant from Dufton Kellner in Heswall, Wirral. They look after other athletes. A good one is so hard to find – it's like a game and the point of them is to keep hold of as much as possible."

As the managing director of a family-run company, the concept of partnership is extremely important to Brian Jones.
Openhouse Products Limited was formed in 1991. The firm manufactures and supplies a vast array of bespoke products to a range of industries, with heavy emphasis on the emergency services. Their client base is mainly UK based, serving a number of European customers as well.
Click Consult Limited
Click Consult have been using Dufton Kellner for accounting services for 3 years. After our business outgrew a much smaller firm I vetted a number of companies that would suit our accountancy requirements; after a number of meetings Dufton Kellner were selected as our preferred partner. Since then our business has grown from strength to strength with an annual turnover of £5 million. Not only do Dufton Kellner deliver the requirements of our day to day accountancy needs, they are also proactive to ensure all areas of our business are maximised in terms of accountancy and tax. They are also very prompt to respond to any question or enquiry. I would recommend them to any business or individual who is looking for a professional and proactive accountancy firm.

Wirral Sports Medicine & Physiotherapy Clinic
Having taken the plunge to finally move away from my "safe" double entry book keeping system it was evident I would need plentiful advice and support until my understanding of Sage was gained! Chris Geary from Dufton Kellner was an absolute delight to work alongside, his knowledge of Sage immeasurable and he is gifted in his ability to impart this understanding in a very clear concise manner to others. Chris was available to answer all my queries by phone, e-mail and visits so I felt confident every step of the way during the transition. The benefits of the computerised accounts are enormous and I cannot thank Chris enough for always "going the extra mile" in reassuring me with his expertise - but that’s what the whole team at Dufton Kellner do though! Thank you.
