The Armstrong Watson team took time to understand the business, our background, sectors of operation, aims and objectives as part of their engagement with us. As a result, the audit was conducted with understanding in an extremely efficient and professional manner.

Asite are a technology business with a global structure and in 2020 appointed Armstrong Watson as auditor and advisor to our group of companies.
We were initially looking for a responsive and experienced partner to support us through the statutory audit process but we have found Armstrong Watson very proactive to support us on a much wider basis. From an audit perspective the team were very knowledgeable and great to work with, delivering the audit on time, in budget and completely remotely. However Armstrong Watson are really adding value with their strategic tax advice around areas such as company valuations, share options and R&D tax credits.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the team at Armstrong Watson
Tony Pickworth, Finance Director, Asite Solutions Limited
Having worked with Armstrong Watson for two years now one of the key things they have delivered upon is communicating in a way that suits our PE backers. In particular their Audit Committee reporting and communication, including highlighting issues that may impact a future event so that we can address them now has been invaluable
Mike Holmes, Finance Director, Smart Search Limited
The relationship we have with Armstrong Watson is incredibly important to us. We’re fully confident that all compliance obligations are met and that our best interests are always front of

When changing independence rules in the Big 4 meant I had to outsource my consolidation I was nervous about using an independent firm. I needn’t have been. Simon has the experience of my audit lead in the Big 4 but the time to meet me face to face and work through it – he wasn’t just there at the end but with me on the journey.
Anne Caudwell, Head of Finance, Giacom World Networks Limited
The relationship between Armstrong Watson and Simpson was initially established prior to the Management buy-out of the Simpson business, which is now some 25 years since and has proved to be a long and lasting quality relationship, developed primarily with the Audit and Tax teams who have supported us well through our business growth and succession.
We have also been able to take advantage and drive improvements and success through our business operations with the help of the Armstrong Watson Strategic Business Advice Service, which has acted as a catalyst to release the potential within our management team, and triggered further business development opportunities.

Neil Appleton, Managing Director, AMK Maintenance Limited.
It was a pleasure to work with the Corporate Finance, Tax and Audit teams at Armstrong Watson during our acquisition of Finlaysons Contracts. A proactive, pragmatic and collaborative approach ensured that the opportunity was presented in the best way for all parties and the skills of the Armstrong Watson team, along with their strict attention to detail, instilled great confidence in the process. While I don’t plan on buying another business for a while, I would certainly have no problem doing it all again with this team.
