Client Testimonials

We are an amateur performing arts theatre in Carlisle and Armstrong Watson have handled our accounts and prepared our end of year balance sheet for many years, providing us with an outstanding service at all times.

More recently we have had a closer relationship as I have been working with Katy Consterdine who maintains our banking transactions and book-keeping for the past two years. Nothing is too much trouble for Katy or any other of the staff. I look forward to my monthly visits and I always feel confident leaving my company's records in their hands. It is like working with a real family: such is the quality of the teamwork. The personal touch provided, in my dealings with the staff, consolidates my confidence in Armstrong Watson.

Having experienced first hand the exquisite services they provide, I have no hesitation in recommending Armstrong Watson and shall continue to form long term business relationships with their staff.

Changing accountants is always a major decision and one not to be taken lightly.  When our accountant announced his retirement in 2013 we were forced to make a move.  As a Rural Estate, we were very keen to engage a firm who had both an understanding of and an interest in Agriculture.  Peter Molyneux and his team came very highly recommended by our agricultural bank manager at the time.  On the initial meeting with Peter, Keith and Andrew, we felt instantly at ease with them.  Nostell Estate comprises of 3 farms along with residential and commercial lettings and on a day to day basis we deal predominately with Peter Molyneux or Keith Johnston.  As our trust and respect has grown for Peter and Keith, they have become increasingly more involved with major projects, succession planning and general business advice.  I now consider them an integral part of my team at Nostell Estate and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I have been self employed for over 50 years using the services of accountants. This firm is quite simply the best I’ve had. I always deal with the same person, Ross Campbell. He is entirely efficient and dependable, but most importantly he understands and adapts to my personal circumstances with friendliness and endless good will. This is the genuine, old fashioned personal relationship that we all miss so much. I feel very lucky indeed to have Ross on my side.

Following a recommendation made to us, we have engaged the specialist Legal Sector team at Armstrong Watson for our accounts, audit and SRA Accounts Rules compliance requirement.  We have been impressed by the breadth of their specific knowledge of the sector and how that helps them to proactively advise us.  We greatly appreciate the consistent use of staff, and their interaction with our accounts team works very well indeed.  Their advance planning makes everything work seamlessly and they have already spotted and enacted improvements that have helped to simplify our accounts and save us money.
