Having worked with Armstrong Watson for two years now one of the key things they have delivered upon is communicating in a way that suits our PE backers. In particular their Audit Committee reporting and communication, including highlighting issues that may impact a future event so that we can address them now has been invaluable
Mike Holmes, Finance Director, Smart Search Limited

When changing independence rules in the Big 4 meant I had to outsource my consolidation I was nervous about using an independent firm. I needn’t have been. Simon has the experience of my audit lead in the Big 4 but the time to meet me face to face and work through it – he wasn’t just there at the end but with me on the journey.

The relationship between Armstrong Watson and Simpson was initially established prior to the Management buy-out of the Simpson business, which is now some 25 years since and has proved to be a long and lasting quality relationship, developed primarily with the Audit and Tax teams who have supported us well through our business growth and succession.
We have also been able to take advantage and drive improvements and success through our business operations with the help of the Armstrong Watson Strategic Business Advice Service, which has acted as a catalyst to release the potential within our management team, and triggered further business development opportunities.

It was a pleasure to work with the Corporate Finance, Tax and Audit teams at Armstrong Watson during our acquisition of Finlaysons Contracts. A proactive, pragmatic and collaborative approach ensured that the opportunity was presented in the best way for all parties and the skills of the Armstrong Watson team, along with their strict attention to detail, instilled great confidence in the process. While I don’t plan on buying another business for a while, I would certainly have no problem doing it all again with this team.
Tommy Cubby, Managing Director, Cubby Construction Limited
A high level of technical ability and a proactive, friendly approach has formed a firm basis for the trusted relationship we’ve developed with the Armstrong Watson team over the past 30 years. We continue to be impressed with the standards of the services we receive, including audit, corporate and personal tax, advisory and planning, and look forward to working together further as we grow.

I have been a client of Armstrong Watson for 9 Years. Grant Smith always provides me with constructive and expert financial advice, through his comprehensive understanding of the complexities of the day nursery sector. He has helped put a number of systems in place which has allowed me to streamline my accounting practice and adopt Xero, a cloud accountancy software programme.
I highly recommend Grant and Armstrong Watson.
