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.

Kay Goodison – Chief Executive, North East Access to Finance Limited

Enkev Group is a producer of natural filling materials and our companies are spread through out Europe. The head-office is based in Volendam, the Netherlands where the Group management and owners are based. The consequences of that is that the group management highly depend on the support, accuracy and performance of the local auditors. In this case Armstrong Watson. Their work is the basis for the consolidating reporting of the Enkev Group. The groups auditors could always rely on their information, through auditing and excellent work.

Since the start of our activities in England, Armstrong Watson has supported us and never let us down. They gave us backup and advice, also in difficult times. The short lines and direct communication makes it efficient and pleasant to work with them.

Sheffield Forgemasters International Limited

Ever since we were introduced to Matt and his team at Armstrong Watson, the process has been seamless from the outset. The initial handover was swift and was dealt with promptly and efficiently by Matt, while the audit itself has been an efficient, well planned and hassle-free process. The team have been a delight to deal with – thorough and robust, yet still pragmatic and helpful.

Symington’s Limited

For our 2020 audit we made a conscious decision to move away from the Big 4 and engaged AW as auditors. What we experienced with AW was a fresh, streamlined approach to the audit process underpinned by frequent communication. We were particularly impressed with their pragmatism in regard to disclosures within the statutory financial statements and most importantly, they exceeded the deadlines we agreed at the outset.

Explore Transport Limited

Following our move to Armstrong Watson in 2019, the Armstrong Watson team have given us the proof that we needed that having a Top 10 firm is not always the best option. I have been particularly impressed by their responsiveness and proactivity as well as their breadth of knowledge and expertise. They always respond quickly and expertly with technical queries. I found the audit process to be well structured and efficient and the team were a pleasure to work with.

Thomas Armstrong (Holdings) Ltd

We moved to Armstrong Watson after our previous audits constantly missed the tight reporting deadlines set by our parent company. Our previous audits were painful and seemed never to be focused towards the deadlines against which we are measured. This left us looking incompetent in the eyes of our parent. The service we have experienced since our move is worlds apart from previous years’ audits. Not only was the process actually enjoyable we were the first of the companies to report worldwide instead of being the last. We really look forward to more of the same in years to come.

You promised the Earth and you delivered it.

Hidrostal Limited

We made the move to AW from a Big 4 in the summer of 2019, we were essentially looking for a local business who could provide an efficient audit and professional advisory service but on a more personal level. Matt, Oliver and the team did not disappoint. The transition across was very straightforward, they assigned plenty of time and resources to get to know our business, systems and key colleagues making the year end audit very successful.

JZ Flowers Limited

Working closely with Glenn has been critical to the profitability of our company because of all the professional advice he has given us. We could not operate our company anywhere as near the efficiency we do with out Glenn's expertise. It is critical for us to have accurate up to date management information and the right up to date advice.
