Testimonials

Your advice and support has been fantastic and instrumental in getting this over the line.

Mark and his team have been genuinely wonderful support since being introduced by the Scottish Government, providing invaluable advice making a real difference to our UK expansion.

They were very professional and proactive throughout, working diligently to hit our timetable.

After 30 years our audit accountants withdrew from audit work, requiring Parmley Graham to search for a new partner.

We wanted a practice that reflected our values, that we could work with across a number of areas as our business. Armstrong Watson was selected because it specialises in owner managed businesses and provides a wide range of tax expertise.

During our first year with Armstrong Watson we have worked with a number of excellent professionals and completed our first year end and audit together.

AW are a forward thinking organisation where personal relationships are important.

We are definitely looking forward to expanding our involvement with them in the future.

We have enjoyed working with the Armstrong Watson team throughout the audit and have found the experience extremely positive. We were impressed by the efficiency of the process, how well they’ve communicated with us and how timelines have been adhered to — the efforts and support of the Armstrong Watson team have been greatly appreciated.

Armstrong Watson had been our accountants for many years, and, given that relationship, I contacted them when I was thinking about selling Gardenwise. Douglas Russell introduced me to Ian Durie, and I was pleased with the way in which he explained the process, including the steps involved, the information that would be required and the likely timescales. Perhaps most importantly, the fact that I would be able to get on with the day to day running of the business while they ran the sales process was a key factor.

Selling your business and family home of over 40 years is a life changing event … Having never sold a business before there are so many unknowns and uncertainties, not to mention doubts … Andrew and Darcie guided us all throughout the entire process and invested their time to ensure we had a clear understanding … Cutting through the jargon and liaising with the legal advisers made things even easier for us and without their guidance and support, we may have never completed the sale …

It was apparent that Darcie was not set on just getting any outcome. Through her pro-activeness and her understanding of my own objectives, she made sure she got me the best outcome possible.

I would not hesitate in recommending Armstrong Watson to someone thinking about selling their business. It’s been a journey - without Armstrong Watson and the team’s support, help and sound advice, I know we wouldn’t have achieved the outcome we did. We’ve been through a lot, Armstrong Watson genuinely care and have always been there going above and beyond to help us. We’ll be eternally grateful for the support we’ve had.

"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."
