What our clients say about Sharon

During the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic it became apparent that the bookkeeping and management accounts were potentially going to be problematic logistically.

Sharon was proactive in providing possible solutions in advance of our scheduled quarterly timetable and was available at several opportunities to test our preferred option of working remotely. Microsoft Teams proved to be invaluable in ensuring we could adapt to a rapidly changing working environment with relatively short notice. Armstrong Watson were instrumental in bringing about this change and ensuring, not only the work getting done on a timely basis but also, staff safety being prioritised.

Karen Walsh, Director, Paramount Legal Costs Limited

Sharon comes to Penrith Auction Mart every month to complete our monthly management accounts. I find her very professional, and she works accurately at all times. Sharon has created a number of bespoke Sage reports on request for Penrith Auction Mart to improve the presentation of figures for internal purposes. We all find her most pleasant in her approach and we are pleased to be able to speak highly of her.

David T Crowden, Chairman, Penrith & District Farmers Mart LLP

Sharon has been visiting us as our external financial resource for a couple of years. She settles all of our invoices, manages the monthly management accounts and produces a number of financial statements for us including the VAT return. We have always found her very professional, flexible, and self-motivated.

Above all she has a very happy and pleasant disposition. She is a very able ambassador for Armstrong Watson's external facing staff and we are very pleased to have the opportunity of recording our appreciation.
