"I was introduced to David and Ellis at Armstrong Watson from a close friend, right from day one David and his team have been faultless. They took great care of my family through the whole process and always went the extra mile to ensure we got the best we could from every situation. Selling a business is an extremely emotional and challenging task, they explained and guided us over every obstacle and managed to complete everything within the time frame set."

Martin Coupe, former owner of Jack Coupe and Sons Limited

I would like to share some positive feedback about your payroll services, particularly Georgie.  Georgie has been fantastic during the onboarding process and what we thought might be complicated, with the help and support of Georgie, who responded quickly at all times, offering helpful advice and ideas has resulted in making our processes so much more efficient and error free first time.

OES Group Ltd

As a  well established and  profitable  electronic components  manufacturer based in the North East , the shareholders had reached a stage in life when it was apparent a company sale was required. They approached David Wilson who was very responsive in finding potential buyers. Agreement with the first potential buyer chosen did not progress due to the final terms of their offer being insufficient.  The second buyer, a private equity company,  had a prolonged due diligence process which required considerable tenacity and astute negotiation to navigate.  David and his team were admirable throughout and successfully concluded the sale.

Tony Hemming, Chairman (until May 2024), Isocom Components 2004 Ltd

The service provided by Armstrong Watson, and in particular the support and advice from Karen, Lauren and their colleagues to support us through this process has been immensely helpful.

Their knowledge of charity sector financial regulations and reporting requirements, and the professional way in which they approached this important work made the whole process much less challenging for us than we anticipated. I would, without reservation, endorse and recommend your services.

Since appointing Armstrong Watson in 2020 we have always felt that we matter to them as a client. We are impressed by the way they manage the audit process so that they always hit deadlines, and with the close involvement of the partner in the planning each year and dealing with technical issues as they arise during the audit process. The whole team clearly understanding our audit issues. This means we never have any surprises or unexpected challenges.

We spent an outstanding couple of days with Andy.   It has helped with our cashflow, with profitability and interestingly clients have accepted a new process and approach to fees.  The profit per file will be up.  It was worth the time and effort and is the most useful session I’ve been on in years.

Following a recommendation made to us, we have engaged the specialist Legal Sector team at Armstrong Watson for our accounts, audit and SRA Accounts Rules compliance requirement.  We have been impressed by the breadth of their specific knowledge of the sector and how that helps them to proactively advise us.  We greatly appreciate the consistent use of staff, and their interaction with our accounts team works very well indeed.  Their advance planning makes everything work seamlessly and they have already spotted and enacted improvements that have helped to simplify our accounts and save us money.
