Client Testimonials

Armstrong Watson have been extremely helpful in assisting Eureka secure a Museums and Galleries Exhibition Tax Relief claim. At the outset, Olivia came to visit the museum to see the exhibition space and to talk us through the claim, showing knowledge and enthusiasm. Throughout the process, Will kept me updated on the progress of the claim, advising us on the qualifying costs and accompanying narrative, to ensure all eligible expenses were included in the claim and our filing position was robust. Thanks to Armstrong Watson’s proactive advice, we have been able to make a substantial claim this year and have gained valuable insights which will allow us to maximise the available relief for future exhibitions.

Having Armstrong Watson as our Accountants over the last month has helped my knowledge base as a book keeper increase, and in turn has assisted our company in many ways, with compliance and profitability. The fact that you offer this service to your clients is excellent and is exactly what we needed from our Accountant partner firm.

Knowing that I can pick up the phone, send an quick email to ask if  'I am doing this right?’ and have  assistance for those occasions when I need an expert to run something by, has been, and is invaluable.

We have used Andrew Robinson as our accountant for a number of years and the professional service he gives us is always well thought out and well received. However, Andrew is more than just our accountant, he is a valued member of our “farm team” and as such we rely on his calm, considered advice to help steer our business forward.

Messrs JR Jackson

When invited to acquire the Practice from the former Partners, we approached Richard Gibson and his Glasgow legal sector/Corporate Finance team to assist us with the purchase.

Richard and his team quickly demonstrated an excellent knowledge of the taxation and regulatory issues surrounding the purchase, and helped structure the transaction to ensure the acquiring business was structured appropriately, and benefited from the most tax advantageous structure when completing the purchase.

Richard built an excellent working relationship with our corporate legal advisor, our funders and the in house finance team to make the purchase and takeover as seamless as possible, and his ongoing involvement has allowed us to focus on the development of our own Practice.

Graham Craik, Managing Partner, Levy & McRae

The business advisory meetings we have with Armstrong Watson are really valuable to us. David and Nick are great at focussing on our options whenever we’re making decisions affecting the company. We’ve been that busy in the past we haven’t always had time to stop and think about the future of the business. Having these two involved makes sense to us so we’d recommend this service to anyone.
