Testimonials

“I wish to acknowledge the invaluable involvement of Haines Watts Chartered Accountants as a major stakeholder with the GLEAM programme since its inception.  Over the last ten years we have had a very successful partnership with HWCA with their sound insight into the individual graduate’s financial support needs as well as effectively delivering seminars in postgraduate nascent entrepreneurs.  They have built up an understanding of FAQs in terms of graduate start-up and graduates have gone on to employ HWCA as their accountants as their businesses have grown.  They are friendly, appreciable and accessible but with a high level of professionalism and have supported business start-up in the North East.”

"SITS Group engaged HW for financial advice and Sage training from July 2008, when setting up the company.  We have found their ongoing advice and support to be invaluable, from initial discussions, through to implementation of systems.”

 “One of our most influential partners, HW,  works closely with us, not only  providing a range of valuable financial expertise and advice, but also offering support in more complex commercial and strategic decision making.   Extensive financial systems development, accounts preparation, and strategic development are only some of the specific services HW has provided.  Recently we have worked with Newcastle Science City to develop a new odour control product for use in a wide range of situations including hospitals and clean-room environments. HW is helping us to identify the most appropriate way to commercially develop this product.”

"Getting a grant was very important to us for completing our acquisition, and the Business Advisory Services team were able to secure that grant. Paul Duncan and Julie Allan helped us put together our application and the associated business plan.  We spoke to the grant office one week and had an offer the following week!  Paul really did bring a lot of acquisitions expertise to the table and showed a real speed of thought and actions in helping us complete the key tasks in the process."

"Following a major restructuring, HW has helped us to completely redevelop our financial systems, working alongside us and shepherding us through the labyrinth of charitable accounting. We are now an organisation with robust financial systems, offering clear accountability to all our funders and stakeholders. This would not have been possible without the wholehearted support and guidance from the staff at HW. What has been particularly refreshing in our relationship with HW is that, even though we are a small organisation, we are treated to the same high standard of service that you would expect to be offered a bigger concern. We continue to work with HW today and will do into the future. HW offers the type of service and added value that not only gives our organisation the necessary financial probity, but also makes us feel as though our work is valued and understood."

"HW Corporate Finance helped us throughout the sale of our company. They were very thorough in their approach, keeping us informed of progress at all times. They helped us agree excellent terms with the ultimate purchaser and made sure that the progress to completion was managed as thoroughly as possible. Without the assistance and encouragement of HW, I doubt we would have achieved this deal".

Peter W. Schofield Managing Director PACE Financial Solutions Ltd.

"We have been an extremely happy client of Haines Watts for many years. The service we receive is very professional, personal and invaluable to what our company needs. The Partners are always available to offer formal and informal advice, which benefits our company. We would not have any hesitation in recommending HW to any potential future clients."
