Client Testimonials

Running a guest house on the Isle of Islay in Scotland with turnover rising from £60k to £110k we were looking for an accounting system that would help to make our working life a little bit easier and that is exactly what Xero has done for us. 

Grant Smith and the staff at Armstrong Watson were so patient explaining how the system worked and how it could benefit our business. Within a few days it felt that we had always used it. It is actually a joy completing the VAT return as with everything in the one place to do this and staff at Armstrong Watson always happy to help with any queries that arise.
 

We enjoy a strong and constructive relationship with the Armstrong Watson team. They add value to our business thanks to the breadth of services that they offer, whatever the nature of the advice we need. Armstrong Watson worked with us to restructure the business. They understood exactly what we wanted to do commercially. We can now consolidate and expand our business with the support from experts who understand us, our business and its strategy moving forward.

Not being from a financial background myself, Armstrong Watson deliver the information I need on a level I can understand. I trust them highly and the service I’ve had from them has been fantastic.

In developing our business, to provide high speed devices for fibre-optics systems at the limit of technology today, u2t Photonics UK has needed to have a tight rein on the financial management of the company while we are focused on the technical and business challenges.

For financial support at u2t, we have relied on Armstrong Watson to provide sound financial advice but also more practical help where, for example, they have taken tasks on to allow us to get on with our main job.  Responses to questions have been dealt with in an accurate and extremely timely manner which is important in a small technology business.  At an early stage in the life cycle of a company it is particularly important that the development costs are well managed.  Armstrong Watson educated us on the options for managing our tax affairs and ensured we made the most of tax measures which support small and medium sized enterprises.  This most especially applies to the use of the tax credit offer from government which allows us to keep tight controls on our R&D costs.

In summary we have been delighted with the support, interaction and responsiveness which we experienced with Armstrong Watson, right from our first engagement with them four years ago.
