Standard Accounting Recenzje 

Very helpful and supportive, highly reccomended

Extremely professional, efficient and helpful

Great service from start to finish. Jodie was very helpful and guided me through the process. Highly recommend

Exactly what I needed. Professional and approachable accountants. Very helpful all the way. Couldn’t recommend them more

Always knowledgeable, friendly and easy to get hold of

Really happy with the service. Good communication via emails.

Good. did my confirmation statement and accounts.

Always helpful and contactable with any requirements.

My contracts are short and varied so an admin nightmare but 2020 have never complained about the nature of them or my personal disorganisation.

I used standard accounting to file my confirmation statement - very patient with any queries I had and very helpful!

Totally professional service, giving me complete confidence knowing that my accounts are in safe hands.
I particularly like the fact that if I have any queries, I can pick up the phone or pop off an email and know I will get an immediate response.

Saw some bad reviews and was sceptical but didn't have any problems and everything worked well!

Diana is really nice and explained things really well. Definitely will use them again.

I got spooked reading the reviews here and emailed them asking for a refund, to their credit they processed a refund immediately.

Researched the company (2020 Accountancy LLP). This is a legitimate company and accounting practice. I also cross checked the awards they show on their websites with the awards sites and these are legitimate too.

I think the problem is:
a) they send a letter about filing a confirmation statement that includes a mix of both ‘urgent’ and ‘optional’ sentiments. They do specify you can file a confirmation statement directly with Companies House yourself, but for someone quickly scanning this and worried they’ll miss a deadline, they might not realise this and feel compelled to use this company when they don’t have to.
b) they ask for a lot of personal PII information (passport, drivers licence) and to upload this on their site. Not sure if they legitimately need this information or not, but because Companies House don’t ask for it, it spooks customers. And how securely this information will be stored or used is not clear.

My understanding is it’s not exactly a scam (I assume they would carry out the service they say they will as they are accountants), it’s more like misleading people in a rush. As of Jan 2025, they charge £65.99 to file a confirmation statement for you when you can do it yourself directly with Companies House for £34 online (or £62 by paper form).

It’s the same as paying an accountant to do something vs. doing it yourself.

My advice to the company would be to
1) reply to Trustpilot reviews to show they’re legit
2) clearly state in any letters they send they’re 3rd party accountants not affiliated with companies house, that CAN help you file and offer other services (“want help filing or want to outsource it to us?” Something like that)
3) share their website or a QR code that takes people to their services list and let people decide themselves what services to add
4) explain why they need ID documents like passport and drivers license and upload/process this in a way that reassures people it’s secure (right now it’s not so clear)

This is a scam! Ignore the letters! Fuming.

Scammers! Do not pay through this company. The letter looked legit, I scanned the QR code for ‘file your confirmation statement now’, took me to a website asking for anything from £24 for an express service to £600 if I’m using an accountant to file my books!! Just aswell I called my accountant who said he’d never heard of it and it was a scam. BEWARE!!!

Scammers avoid like the plague

Scammers so beware everyone. They took £65 and I uploaded documents that companies house would not require. I suspected something and went back on and uploaded pictures of flowers. They contacted me by mobile number and I read that they were companies house preferred service or something so thought it was OK.

scammers pretending to be companies house

Unbelievable that they are able to get away with their official looking documentation acting like they're officially working for Companies House. They're clearly scouting companies for dates in which their accounts are due. Complete scammers. Thank goodness for the Internet and reviews, as they could scare some into parting with their money.

sent a letter where they pretend to be Companies House
