There has been many disgruntled clients of Jones Kinsey Chartered Accountants firm www.joneskinsey.co.uk yet Mark Jones still continues to trade as a Chartered Accountant, He plays on the fact he is a Chartered Accountant claiming to be the best when all he does is employ trainees who is not qualified leaves them to get on in the offices and spends his day drinking coffee pretending to be the top accounts firm in Shropshire gaining new clients. The staff struggle to do there job correctly with Mark Jones barely dealing with them leaving them to deal with business accounts. You try calling his office to talk to him and if anyone answers they will say he is either in a meeting or he is out on a meeting. If they dont answer then the top the best Jones Kinsey Chartered Accountants Shrewsbury answer phone message says "BT answer service sorry but mail box is full". The first girl he employed as a trainee and left her by herself to deal with accounts had to put him in court for her wages. Mark Jones does not even understand Sage?? work that one out. He says he wont charge much then gives you a hefty bill and I mean a hefty bill which he paid a trainee to do. How does a accountancy firm like this manage to be a chartered. If you are thinking about using Jones Kinsey then ask Mark Jones how many staff does he have then ask how many are qualified for him to put in writing and bet he wont. Ask how many companies he is a Director of to see if there is any conflict of interest.

Mark Jones of Jones Kinsey Chartered Accountants Shrewsbury do not trust. He also Director of another Accounts firm I have just learnt of the net called Stobbs and Co in Telford do not trust them either if he has anything to do with them do your homework.

I advise anyone not to use them you will be overcharged and totally under service. Mark Jones will pop in for coffee to say "oh we will do that for you honest no problem" to have a hefty bill on your door step. Mark Jones is nothing more than a conman?. I was talking to another disgruntled client who was so angry about Mark Jones he could not believe after being told Jones Kinsey was the best and the price that was agreed was about 5 times the amount when bill landed to find his tax bill was way more than he expected compared to the year before with less turnover but thats not all to find out he was fined for late penalty with Mark Jones declaring he done nothing wrong and certainly did not try to put right/. I am know hearing things about a company he was so called going to rescue, I wont mention the name as I have used their services but Mark Jones is now Director of who's totally ruining the company hearing stories he has not paid staff:. He not paid suppliers which is a shame as they did offer great service to be ruined by Mark Jones Chartered Accountant|.

Mark Jones of Jones Kinsey Chartered Accountants Shrewsbury will never do my books again;. I wouldn't trust him with a Roger Red Hat book never mind the books of accounts for business|.

I would tell you what he done to me but he would know who I was which does not bother me for reasons your thinking its down to the fact links he has in other businesses that would effect mine..

I will say one last time do not trust Mark Jones of Jones Kinsey Chartered Accountants Shrewsbury thats a must !!! 2f62d1e

I know a fat old policeman
He's always on our street.
A fat and jolly red-faced man
He really is a treat.

He's too kind for a policeman
He's never known to frown.
And everybody says
He is the happiest man in town!.

He laughs upon point duty
He laughs upon his beat.
He laughs at everybody
When he's walking in the street.

He never can stop laughing
He says he's never tried.
But once he did arrest a man
And laughed until he cried!

Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

His jolly face is wrinkled
And then he shut his eyes.
He opened his great big mouth
It was a wonderous size!

He said "I must arrest you Brian!"
He didn't know what for.
And then he started laughing
Until he cracked his fat old jaw.

Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

So if you chance to meet him
While walking 'round the town.
Shake him by his fat old hand
And give him half a crown.

His eyes will beam and sparkle
He'll gurgle with delight.
And then you'll start him laughing
With all his blessed might!

Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.... Show more

I love the way that Brian Phillips always blames everyone else other then himself. Never does he take the blame for any wrong doings that he has done in the past. The fact that he is on here trying to blame his accountant for the errors that he has been doing for years. The reason he failed is for the very same reason, he never listens to others and its his way or no way.....
Look at this post made on here just a few months ago, does this sound like the Brian that he is trying to protrail himself here as?

Quoted from Pissed Consumer "mobi-tyre":

I tried mobi-tyre as a franchise and paid huge amount of my redundancy on it, all I can say is it never worked for me. I agree with the early comments on this site, there is plenty of evidence to show that things are not going right and maybe the USP is not right for a successful business for anyone. As for the person who wrote the positive comments I suggest you take your head out of your *** and look around you. The lord gave us 2 ears to listen with but only 1 mouth perhaps Brian you should open your ears more and your mouth less!! Â The mobi-tyre you describe is not one that I was part of and I feel cheated, and to say that I failed because I did not work hard is utter rubbish. I gave it everything I had and put as much as I could into it including the loss of my wife. Â During my term with mobi-tyre I know of at least 8 people who gave up through various reasons 1 through ill health and the

I would asdvise customer not to use this company and find a new company to fit your tyres.... I beleive there is a very similar company based in Shrewbury and they too come to your HOME with TYREs.
I like your comments about Mark not posting is the best option and i agree, why would he want to join this circus. And those that have already posted seem to have proved that he is a victim of a company tyring to find fault elsewhere other then looking in the closest mirror.

Personal vendetta on this one we think, Look lets keep the silly comments to reality please, there is more to think about than bringing personal lives into this play fair. There has been many complaints about Jones Kinsey which we have been told there has been 7 in the last couple of weeks to authorities also learning that other clients that have been messed up by Jones Kinsey won't release accounts either! Now there has to be some truth to this.

Thank you, will not be for a while yet.

I take it from your post mobi-tyre is surviving on and will continue to trade... a good sign.

One more good sign will be that the differences as stated here can also be resolved and the two companies are able to move forward for the benifet of all the staff involved.

Good luck

Oh I forgot to mention i have no comments about Mobi-tyre and have used them a lot for my car and also found the service to be good. It is a shame that people are loosing work in Shrewsbury. Is any of the guys setting up on their own so that i can still get my mobile tyre service?

It is such a shame that things can be aired in public so much but i wish you all luck in finding new employment.

I dont think anyone can accuse Mark of not being a Chartered Accountant. His certificates are proudly displayed and i guess for anyone unsure there will be a overseeing body that you could check with.
I note the only person on here who is not defending himself is Mark, I guess he does not even know this conversation is on here. If he does I wonder he staying silent is the best option and not getting involved with this tit for dat argument.
I repeat ive never had a problem with my books and he does a good job for me.

I have been reading the posts as I nearly used Mark Jones of Kinsey Jones as my accountant but something didn't seem right about him. Has anyone actually done a background check on him, ie did he actually work for PWC in London? Whether he is actually a chartered accountant as there is no record of him on the ICAS directory for registered chartered accountants, yes there is a mention of a Mark Jones working for Price waterhouse and coopers but is it the same Mark Jones who is the director of Kinsey Jones?????
All you have is his word about his background, but from what I knew of him he was all talk!! Yes he was very plausible and to anyone who was a little gullible you would think he knew what he was talking about!!

I feel for those who trusted him as he was obviously playing with a lot of honest peoples lives for his own personal gain.

I have been a client of Mark Jones for over 10 years and i have no complaints. His team have done great work and over time have saved my plenty of money with their professional advice.

I have no idea what this complaint is about and i would recommend Mark to anyone.

well I have to say that the grammar and punctuation of these posts is diabolical. Why is that important? attention to detail.Those of you who have lost financially with mobi tyre are all victims of this, even myself, however I had the forsight to see what was coming and took action some time ago to safeguard my business.It is true that Mr Phillips was economical with the truth and you get the flavour that his empire was rolling over eggshells, full steam ahead.Who were the eggs?, that would be us. As for Mr Mark Jones I have only had the pleasure of speaking to him on one occassion, I found his attitude aggresive,however I can not form an opinion on Mr Mark Jones from this one event.It does appear that Mr Phillips and or Mr Jones will be looking at some porridge in the near future.Personally I hope that both individuals do not become some ones *** in shrewsbury klink I would not wish that on them or anybody.I do feel sorry for the employee,s but it is common place for companies to fold and people to lose thier jobs, they will move on. As for the rest of you reading this post you will also move on, but taking with you the experience that you have gained, remember when in business your business comes first and foremost, it takes no prisoners, period. If you let your heart rule your head you will fail. Put this behind you and move on. For those of you looking for compensation I wish you well, in my experience it is a long hard road that is time consuming and expensive with... Show more

The comment that was on here stating that the Franchisee comment was either Shaun Clare or his Partner Rajeev Gupte has been removed possible because their was a link? If you type on google Shaun Clark Maidstone then will show who should be locked up??? Speculation annoys the *** out of me. Personal vendetta is disgusting and should keep to the truth.

like said on the comment Brian took used from Mark Jones Chartered Accountant which is the same category as solicitor or Barrister is that a crime as Mark had us all fooled :(

Right I have now got to be careful on what I write as now the police are involved also other authorities in order to investigate.

I have made my posts completely transparent of which posts I have left on here so please stop with vendetta talk as not worth reading.

The person that wrote I was the Director so buck stops with me is completely right and take that on the chin with any apologies that are deserved.

When you’re a Director you have to surround your self with people that you trust to help run a company which I had some good management.

I had a good Operations Manager to run the day to day business

I had a Franchise Manager to train, and deal with their problems

Now I am sorry as yes I was Director so final say with myself but as a Director you except the things your good at and things your not which you then rely on the team around you for advise.

Now we had the opportunity of teaming up with a massive brand which Mark Jones was the Companies accountant who worked closely with us to get this contract, preparing all the business models, attending meetings acting as FD of the company. When decisions was being made he would state that he was the best to advise as he worked at top account firm in London and knew what he was talking about.

We approached the bank as Mark had worked out it was going to cost around £250,000 to obtain the contract.... Show more

HIDING BEHIND WHAT?????? HIDING BEHIND WHAT??????

The people who are most badly affected are the employees, perhaps people should consider this before they start making *** comments when they dont know the facts. Everything that has been done this week has been to secure the jobs of the employees. The bookeeper saw what was happening and CHOSE to do NOTHING How are people ment to pay their mortgages???? Jones Kinsey should be avoided like the plague. The only people that find this funny are the ones that dont care about anyone apart from themselves. The ones who only see their own personal vendettas not the implications of their actions you should be so ashamed those people trusted Jones Kinsey where is their pay ???? bet you got paid this week MARK JONES and CRISSY WILLIAMS cant wait until the police catch up with you.

Brian Philips won't admit that it is him or Lorraine writing the posts as they are cowards and like to blame others part from there selves. Brian philips always has / have an will put him self first no matter. He doesn't care how it effects others he doesnt give two *** as long as he is saving/covering his own back. As they say what goes around comes around.

I have nothing to do with either of these companies as a trainee commerciallawyer I was interested to read the previous post referring to not tradingwhile insolvent because of an investor. To me this seems to fall short of the law, unless that investor acts as aguarantor for any debts obtained during the period concerned. As thiscompany has been placed into voluntary liquidation with what appears to besubstantial debts this was not the case.  Therefore it is reasonable tosuggest that just because an investor has money in the bank it does notlegate the company Director(s) keeping the company accounts in the black andsolvent.    If the company concerned was trading as a limited company and therefore theDirectors could be guilty of "Wrongful Trading" as defined by legal statute.There are two tests that a court of law will consider for solvency definedin Section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986, being 1) are your assets exceededby your liabilities and 2) are you failing to discharge your debts as andwhen they fall due. If you satisfy either criteria then you are insolvent inaccordance with the definition of the same in the legislation.There is also the criminal offence of "fraudulent trading" contrary to s993Companies Act 2006. This occurs where a person (probably, but notnecessarily, a director) is "knowingly party" to the business of a companybeing carried on "with intent to defraud creditors" or "for any fraudulentpurpose".Fraudulent trading necessarily involves dishonesty.The...
