I enjoy an excellent working relationship with Martin Harris; he is easy to talk to and very approachable. The biggest benefit of being with Haines Watts is that they don’t just act as our accountants – they really take the time to get fully involved with us as a team. Martin has gained an in-depth knowledge of our business, the way we work and where we want to go. We are very excited about our plans for the future which will help to raise our profile above our competitors and offer the opportunity to grow the business further. We know that Martin is with us every step of the way and we really appreciate all his help and support through the challenges and going forward. As we are a family run company it is good to get an independent view. Martin is a great sounding board and gives us the confidence to follow through with our mid to long term business plans."

Haines Watts discussed my business planning, offering invaluable advice on a number of key decisions ensuring we have not only survived but thrived. I needed a firm who would not only produce my accounts but have flair and ideas to help me grow my business. This has enabled me to expand my services as we want to provide a subsidised dental service providing core treatments at affordable prices so our clients can smile through these difficult economic times! I would not hesitate to recommend Haines Watts. I sleep at night and let them do the worrying and this leaves me free to do what I love best, dentistry and further education."

We had been with our previous accountant for a number of years but our fees were escalating and we did not feel confident approaching them on specific matters. We met Ben de Cruz on a separate matter and were impressed by his manner and professionalism. Having made the decision to switch accountants it became apparent that our previous accountant had not kept up to date with changes within our industry. I believe that had we not decided to switch to Haines Watts we may have been forced to cease trading because of accountancy practices not being followed. Haines Watts provide a personal approach and I feel confident in their expertise to manage our affairs. A year after making the change to Haines Watts to provide our accountancy services for the insurance broking business we moved our financial services business as well. "

The case on which your firm helped us so much is just about to come to an end and I wanted to take this opportunity of thanking you and your team again for all of your excellent work. It was a complicated situation, one where even the lawyers couldn’t say whether all of the needed documentation had been supplied. We had to have expert assistance to ascertain the extent and values of the assets, and guidance on how to deal with them. You reduced it all to several sheets of figures with footnotes that anyone could follow. What a talent! This firm would have no hesitation in recommending your firm to others in our business all of whom face similar issues quite often. "

We have used HW on a number of occasions in matrimonial financial court proceedings. They explain and prepare their report on, what can often be a confusing area of practice, in a straightforward manner and we particularly like the fact they understand that reporting within matrimonial proceedings needs to be approached differently to business for sale on the open market. We would not hesitate to propose HW as joint experts in the future and, indeed, we are aware that Counsel has been so impressed with the reports they provide, they have recommended them to other instructing solicitors."
