Client Testimonials

We engaged Andy Poole of Armstrong Watson to facilitate a series of three strategy days for our senior leadership team and the wider partner group.  This has helped us to formulate clear objectives and defined short, medium and long-term steps to achieve our ambitions.

It has helped us to become closer as a leadership team, improve communication channels across the firm and focus us on the actions we need to continue taking our business forwards.  Andy was flexible enough to allow all attendees to have their input, whilst keeping us on track and challenging us as required.  One of the attendees commented that it was “the most impactful day they had ever spent”.

Chris Welch, Managing Partner, Sintons LLP

Andy and his team structured this deal to enable me to transition my duties to others in a move towards my retirement. Andy found the perfect partner for us in MAPD who are clearly committed to supporting the firm in its existing structure, and providing expertise to help the firm grow, while maintaining its own identity and brand, which is very well known within Tameside and Greater Manchester.

Andy had taken the time to really get under the skin of our firm and understand how we operate, which proved enormously helpful in getting the deal over the line. Throughout the process, he displayed a real in-depth understanding of how law firms operate. Thanks to Andy for all of his help, effort and assistance.

Mark Hirst, Bromleys

I started and have developed my career at Bromleys and make no secret of the fact that it plays a massive part in my life. That’s why it was so important to choose the right partner to help us unleash the potential that Bromleys has.  That partner is MAPD. We are now part of a group that shares our values and ambitions for the future. This is an exciting time for our staff and offers us the opportunity to grow together whilst supporting our existing and new clients. Armstrong Watson's professionalism and determination really made a difference. We were very pleased that we had you on our side of the transaction as your approach, knowledge and organisation was exemplary.

Paul Westwell, Managing Director, Bromleys

We brought Armstrong Watson in as auditors and tax advisors and have found them to be excellent. The teams are very professional, knowledgeable and approachable particularly where we have been conducting some complex transactions where advice on accounting and tax were required. A common sense approach to things has been most welcome and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Stuart Slorach, Vice Principal (Resources), The Northern School of Art

Any merger process can be stressful, however, the support and efforts provided by the team at Armstrong Watson helped make the process as smooth as possible. The team were quick to respond to our queries and worked well with MAPD’s advisors to achieve a positive result for all parties.

John Cooke, Director at Thomson Hayton Winkley

We moved our family farming business accounts to Armstrong Watson, with Andrew Robinson and his team who have looked after us ever since. From our perspective, it was a very positive move, and with Andrew’s knowledge and understanding of the agricultural industry on every level, we feel very well supported.  Our meetings with Andrew are always constructive and helpful and allow for us to move our business forward. 

In any business surrounding yourselves with a strong team of people who understand, have expert knowledge, and can give great advice is crucial, we feel this is now where we are.  We would be happy to recommend Andrew and the team at Armstrong Watson.

Trevor, Henry & Susan Dent

Donnelly Group had the pleasure of working with Michelle on updating all the accountants on current tax and vat legislation related to the motor trade.  A complex area for accountants new to the motor trade. From the start, Michelle demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise in the field, taking the time to truly understand the unique needs of our business, the differences between Northern Ireland and GB, and the challenges we faced. Throughout the training, Michelle provided exceptional service, taking the time to answer any questions and illustrate this with real life examples.  All the attendees appreciated the level of detail that can be utilised in their work and advising others.  Armstrong Watson’s attention to detail and thoroughness in their work were truly impressive, and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

Not only did Michelle deliver an excellent course, but she also made the entire process stress-free and easy to understand. I would highly recommend Armstrong Watson to anyone looking for professional TAX services and support for their business.

Thank you again for all your hard work and dedication!

Donnelly Motor Group

We find Simon and his team very approachable and open to conversation on any accounting issues that arise during the year.  This means when we come to year end we do not see lots of swings in our numbers but also ensures we know what we need to do to make the audit run smoothly and to plan ahead of time.

Goodwin Development Trust

Since appointing Armstrong Watson in 2020 we have always felt that we matter to them as a client. 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. The whole team clearly understanding our audit issues. This means we never have any surprises or unexpected challenges.
