Client Testimonials

Engineered Assistance Ltd design and manufacture specialist mobility equipment for the healthcare sector, and are based in West Yorkshire.

The Armstrong Watson team helped us prepare R&D tax relief claims since the company was first incorporated and have saved us huge amounts of tax which we have consequently been able to reinvest in our technology.

The team have a great understanding of the R&D tax relief rules and his advice has been invaluable in not only preparing accurate claims for HMRC, but also maximising the tax relief available.  I would definitely recommend Armstrong Watson to any company who think they might be able to make a claim.

Dane McGee, Managing Director, Engineered Assistance Ltd

I have done the payroll at Dumfries & Galloway College for 11 years now, all of them through Armstrong Watson.  We have a payroll of approximately 270 staff and use the front end service through the bureau.

We continue to work with Armstrong Watson as the service we receive is always of a high standard and there is always support available.  The front end service allows us the flexibility to process our own payroll data without having to worry about producing payslip or HMRC reporting at year end.

Above all, the entire service is such great value for money which is hard to beat these days!

Helen Cronie, HR Officer, Dumfries & Galloway College

Armstrong Watson has been our payroll provider since April 2002. Over the past 10 years we have developed a strong working relationship built on mutual respect and trust. I have always found them to be very efficient, approachable and excellent value for money.

Just to say thank you again to you and your team for the great efforts to get the &co accounts completed to meet the 31 July filing deadline. I understand we will be having a final Trustees meeting in September to finalise the wind down. I know Alison and Chris were very impressed by the service they have received from Armstrong Watson and I hope they keep up this relationship when they start up the new CIC.

Helen Dobson, Financial Director, Opera North

Armstrong Watson have audited and advised Mumtaz Food Industries through a major period of high growth. Armstrong Watson have been available at all times to help provide focus to the management and dealt very professionally with difficult situations. Their support has been invaluable and I am particularly happy to see that their enthusiasm and commitment to getting a job done, (even the annual audit) still remains after a 12 year relationship.

Armstrong Watson have been accountants, auditors and tax advisors to Cartonage for over 15 years. During a difficult trading period we took the hard decision to move our affairs over to another firm of accountants but having experienced Armstrong Watsons support and excellent advice we reappointed the firm at our earliest opportunity.
The level of service and Partner involvement was a key factor in us moving back.  Outside of the audit they have been invaluable in advising us on our group structure, minimising our corporate tax and assisting with a number of acquisitions.

Philip Webster , Chairman, Cartonage Limited

Helen Thornley & the team were diligent at every step of the process & patiently answered all my queries at every step, which was important given I approached this process with virtually no technical knowledge of the topic at all.  Most importantly they achieved a successful outcome including a positive ruling from HMRC.
