Client Testimonials

Switching auditors was a painless process and we quickly found the AW team were more proactive and constructive than our previous auditors. Communication was excellent and I feel they made more effort to understand the industry we operate in. Going into the second year I’m also very pleased to see continuity within the Team and hence a greater understanding of our Business.

Chris Land, Senior Business Controller, Sarens

Mark and his team have been instrumental to Katrick from day one, acting as our accountants while supporting us with business planning and financial modelling that enabled our fundraising efforts. As a founder, having a finance team that truly understands the realities of building an early-stage renewables company has been invaluable.

Mark and Armstrong Watson have been a great support over the years providing invaluable advice on various assignments and projects making a real difference in terms of managing risk and our tax obligations.

Mark Wilson, CEO, Intelligent Land Investments Group plc

At Greenbackers Investment Capital, we operate exclusively within the renewable energy sector, supporting businesses at every stage of their growth journey. Our community ranges from early-stage startups and scale-ups raising several hundred thousand pounds from friends, family and angel investors—often under SEIS and EIS schemes—to more established companies seeking £20 million or more from venture capital and institutional investors.

Across this broad spectrum, one requirement is constant: access to agile, commercially astute advisers who understand both the technical and financial complexities of growth. Mark and his team consistently deliver exactly what these ambitious businesses need.

Their responsiveness, depth of expertise and practical understanding of funding structures provide real confidence to founders and investors alike. In addition, the strength of Armstrong Watson’s wider international network brings further strategic value, particularly for companies with global ambitions.

The support Mark and his colleagues provide plays an important role in underpinning the prospects of these businesses becoming the renewable energy success stories of tomorrow.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark McRae and Armstrong Watson to any growth-focused business seeking high-quality, forward-thinking advisory support.

I was very impressed with Molly’s professionalism in dealing with the Company Valuation. Molly communicated with me clearly and confidently. Molly returned my calls and answered my questions clearly so I could understand how the figures were calculated.

Molly kept me informed of the progress of the valuation and gave me a realistic timeline.  

Dawn Pickett, Managing Director, DP Conveyancing

I met Armstrong Watson as a newly qualified dentist and more than 12 years on, I wouldn’t consider working with anyone else. They now manage the accounts and bookkeeping for four of my businesses, always with outstanding attention to detail. Jayne and David deserve special mention for the long-standing personal relationships and trust they’ve built — it truly feels like having an expert team on your side.

Having looked after my accounts meticulously for many years Jayne Clifford ultimately assisted with the recent sale of my dental practice thereby ensuring that this process went smoothly. I would commend Jayne and her supportive team for their timeous and punctilious approach taken in all matters and their friendly and receptive manner when doing so.

Working with Armstrong Watson on our annual audit has been a genuinely positive experience. The club owners and I came away feeling that we have gained more than an auditor, instead it feels like we have established a true partnership. The Armstrong Watson team took the time to understand the unique nature of our football club and demonstrated a commitment to working alongside us to support our ambitions for improvement and growth. The AW teams’ proactive approach and willingness to collaborate give us confidence that Armstrong Watson will continue to add real value to our business in the long-term. We look forward to building on this relationship as we explore new opportunities together.

Suzanne Kidd, Financial Director, Carlisle United

Working with Armstrong Watson has been a truly positive experience for our business. From the outset, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, flexibility and transparency throughout the audit process. What stood out most was their ability to make a complex and often challenging process feel straightforward and collaborative.

The quality of communication and responsiveness gave us confidence at every stage, and their proactive approach ensured that any issues were addressed quickly and effectively. This level of service is a significant improvement compared to our previous audit experience and has reinforced that choosing Armstrong Watson was the right decision.

Beyond the audit itself, we value Armstrong Watson as trusted advisors who understand our business and provide insights that help us plan for the future. Their commitment to building strong client relationships and delivering real value sets them apart and we look forward to continuing this partnership.

Kristof Van Hof, Finance manager, Crestron TIG

I just wanted to reiterate my sincere thanks again for your excellent presentation of the annual accounts at our AGM last night. You have a real gift for making complex information accessible and meaningful for everyone in the room, and that skill is genuinely appreciated.

I’m also extremely grateful for the collaborative and supportive way you and your team have worked with both myself and our CFO throughout the process. Your approach makes a significant difference, and we truly value the partnership.

Jo Robinson, CEO, Yorkshire Collaborative Academy Trust (YCAT)
