Having appointed Armstrong Watson to prepare our SRA Accounts Rules reports, we have been extremely impressed with the manner in which they arranged the transfer of responsibilities from our previous accountants.  Their specialist legal sector team has been very easy to deal with and they have provided practical solutions to issues, based on experience.  The whole process has been unbelievably smooth and we are delighted with the decision that we have made.

After twenty six years trading as a partnership, we decided to change status to a limited company.

We had no idea how to go about this process. We were guided through it with the help of Armstrong Watson, in particular Sharon Ryan, Sally Jones and Stephen Esgate.

We would like to thank you wholeheartedly. Without all your hard work and understanding of our business and what we wanted, this transition would have been traumatic. It was a seamless transition thanks to the professionalism, efficiency and meticulous attention to detail that you exercised.

I would recommend Armstrong Watson and in particular your team, to any organisation that was thinking of changing their trading status.

We were recently left with a very complex family estate to unravel. Helen was able to guide us through the process of IHT submission to HMRC and help unravel a number of complex tax issues in a calm and professional manner. She answered all of our questions promptly and provided clear guidance as to the individual steps we needed to take, making the whole process a lot easier and simpler to deal with.

Helen's work meant we did not have to engage a solicitor to close the estate, thus saving expensive legal costs and time and also brought in other experts (Trust & Investment Funds) to advise us as and when needed. At all times we found Helen easy and pleasant to deal with no matter how stressed we were with having to deal with what was essentially an emotional roller coaster ride. The estate took over two years to close out, but without Helen's support it would still be going on now.

I would recommend Helen and Armstrong Watson without any hesitation or reservation; they are the “go to source” for all financial issues and advice in my opinion.

Having been recommended by a friend, I was certain that Ross would do a great job. But I have been more impressed than I could imagine with the level of professionalism that Ross portrays.

He brings a level of personality to things and I feel that I can send a quick email to Ross any time and I will get a very swift, personal and friendly reply. I look forward to many more years of working with Ross. I would most certainly recommend Ross to my friends.

The most important qualities I value in my relationship with Armstrong Watson are trust, efficiency and knowing that when necessary. I am satisfied they can help with any personal financial matter, or business matter if required.

I am always very pleased with the manner in which my tax return is completed, on time and without any fuss, but knowing that they are always available for further help and advice if necessary. I would recommend Armstrong Watson to my friends.

Dr David Frost

Thank you for all the work that you have carried out on my behalf and for the careful and thorough way in which you explained to me proceeds that seemed to be totally alien and extremely complicated to me. I really needed that help. I'm delighted that I continued the family connection with Armstrong Watson who my father was with for so many years.
