Working With

  • “Steve worked closely alongside us on the successful presentation of financial information for several of our clients’ grant claims. As well as enabling us to deliver robust and well-presented information, Steve ensured that everyone involved in the project gained real confidence and a clear understanding of the key issues involved. Highly recommended!”

    Rachel Fletcher, Managing Director, FCS Associates

  • “I’m not a ‘numbers person’ but thankfully Steve is. He has helped us get a much better understanding of our financial position and through his contacts find the right funding we needed to buy some machinery for our business. A great guy to work with, very knowledgeable and really good at explaining things to a non-numbers person!”

    Kate Shepherd, Owner, Cocoa Confectionary Ltd

  • “Lindsey works alongside me and my team here, giving amazing support on everyday accounting matters but is also there at busy times like month end and year end. It’s like having our own financial controller that I can refer to and I have the confidence that she’s always there to help if I need her, whenever and with whatever and she always replies promptly. Having Lindsey’s knowledge and experience means that I can concentrate on the day to day running of the finance team while having her back up and I know that anything I pass over is done thoroughly and willingly. I honestly do not know how we would have got through things recently without her, she does a fantastic job.”

    Carly Turner – Finance / HR Manager – IN-PART Publishing Ltd

  • "It's fair to say that we wouldn't have the factory premises we have now without Steve and Lindsey."

    Ruby Sheldon, Managing Director, Slime Party

  • “One of the elements we enjoyed the most while working with them was their approachability. They were always on hand to assist us whenever needed. They excelled in taking the time to explain everything thoroughly, ensuring we understood each step of the process.”
