What our clients have to say about us


  • Franchise
    “If you are looking for an accounting firm or even a small piece of accounting advice I would definitely recommend that you give RA Accountants a call.”

    My name is Daljit Nahil and I live in Coventry. Over the past 26 years my main business has been Subway, I ran 10 franchise stores but also worked for Subway HQ as a Business Developer (selling franchises and getting new stores open). Alongside my main business I have developed a small property portfolio together with my wife, Raj Bhangal, who is a self-employed lawyer.

    I am currently in the process of developing a couple of Padel Tennis centres, I am very excited about this new venture as this is also my favourite hobby!I met Riz from RA Accountants about 17 years ago at a conference and I was aware that a few of my Subway colleagues already used his company.

    I was very impressed with his passion, knowledge and drive and it was not long before I decided to move my affairs to Harrow. Ever since I have found everyone at RA to be very proactive, responsive and very professional. RA Accountants deal with our Accounting, VAT, Payroll, Tax Planning, IHT and are always available to provide general advice too.

    If you are looking for an accounting firm or even a small piece of accounting advice I would definitely recommend that you give RA Accountants a call.
