Testimonials

Sumitomo (SHI) Cryogenics Europe

"We changed auditors from a Big Four firm to HW Reading several years ago and since that time the quality of service that we have received has been excellent in all respects.

In particular their pro-activeness and year end planning has meant that our tight reporting deadlines to Japan have always been met and their staff have always been friendly but highly professional.

We particularly like the fact that we deal with one partner (John Bailey) for all aspects of our business and he ensures that the expert resources within his firm are utilised for our business at the right time and just as importantly at the right price, which is a far cry from our previous Big Four advisers".

The Chancellors Group of Estate Agents Limited

"We have used HW, Chartered Accountants for the company’s audit and taxation affairs for the last ten years and have always been more than satisfied with their professional services.

It is clear that the HW team have a sound understanding of our business and the markets in which we operate. The audit is carried out promptly and professionally by friendly and efficient staff. Any audit issues are dealt with in a pragmatic manner and the related corporation taxation work is completed in a timely fashion.

We have been particularly pleased at the way in which HW have responded to various ad hoc transactions that we have undertaken. Not only have they been able to come up with tax efficient, commercial solutions, but they have ensured that all angles have been covered and that deadlines have been met.

We would have no hesitation in recommending them to any business looking for proactive, commercial accountants".

Brush Wellman Limited

"Brush Wellman Limited is a subsidiary of a US listed group involved in the sale of specialist metal alloys. Our first involvement with HW was to outsource to them all of our payroll services. This has worked very well and has allowed us to concentrate on managing the company in the knowledge that the payroll was being correctly looked after.

More recently we have taken the decision to switch from a Big 4 firm to HW for the audit and other services. Not only has this led to significant savings, but in addition we have found HW much more willing to provide constructive advice on a range of issues. HW now provides monthly management accounts to our US parent company and give ad hoc advice on VAT and other financial matters".

We have found all of the staff friendly and helpful and their response to requests always swift. We are pleased with the decision we took and look forward to continuing to work closely with them".

Guy Shapland Managing Director

Pendax

"About three years ago we took the decision to change auditors from one of the big firms to HW. Since then we have found all of the staff at HW to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable with the expertise suited to a company of our size.

The quality of their service has been first class and we have really noticed the commercial commonsense approach of the audit team.

I am also delighted with the financial saving we have made by moving to HW. This has been significant compared to our previous auditors and must be recognised as an ongoing saving year after year".
