What our clients say
I’ve spent a good amount of time with the Haines Watts People Services team and my experience has been outstanding. They’re so knowledgeable and are helping me massively with our business. I keep asking their advice and how to deal with things that are occurring and they’re guiding me through them like true professionals.
Sue Jones, Churches Fire Security Limited
I’ve worked with the Haines Watts team over the past year. They really understand our business and the type and calibre of people we’re looking for. They provide us with excellent support in understanding our recruitment needs, our company culture and how we wish to be positioned, as an employer of choice.
Dan Hancocks, Concredo Limited
Haines Watts skilfully tailored a program and an approach to suit our requirements and abilities of our company. This created a comfortable atmosphere for us to follow the Haines Watts process. Through this process we built the blue print that we are now using to grow the company. The workshops Haines Watts ran with us proved to be excellent value. We now have a clear vision of the future, with the tools and confidence to achieve it.
Dave Pennock, Eclipse Sprayers
Haines Watts opened my mind to looking at my business in a different way. Although successful I was at the stage where I was looking to shape my business better – I needed a little support. They gave me an informal framework for seeing how my business was performing and enabled me to talk to other owner managed businesses who have similar challenges.
Rob Quinn, Purity Productions
Haines Watts has acted as a useful mirror to our business. We’ve looked at how we operate, our strengths, and how we perceive ourselves. Whenever I ask a question, I know Haines Watts will present us with a range of scenarios and a view of the bigger picture, so we can make fully informed decisions. All information is given in plain English. As a result of Haines Watts’ support, we are heading into the next year with a renewed focus.
James Broady, Central Roofing
One of our most influential partners, Haines Watts, works closely with us, not only providing valuable financial 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 services Haines Watts has provided. Recently we have worked on a new product and Haines Watts is helping us to identify the most appropriate way to commercially develop this product.
Victoria Browning, Probe Industries Limited
What’s impressed us most with Haines Watts is that, in addition to covering the usual compliance stuff, they got involved with us right from the beginning and have provided added value in terms of top quality business advice. Our regular contact and meetings generate a constant flow of communication and their personal approach has been a welcome change from the ‘big firm’ mentality we had before.
Gareth Ratcliffe, Nunwood Consulting Ltd
We have been involved with Haines Watts for some years now. They have always taken a close interest in the development and success of our business, not just in producing accounts, but also in respect of strategy and development. The Haines Watts team have a thorough understanding of our business needs. They deliver commercial and pragmatic advice in a timely, supportive and unobtrusive manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending Haines Watts.
Damien Maguire, TC Autos
I have been consistently impressed by the service provided by Haines Watts. They are professional, accurate, approachable and flexible. Michelle Cousins, our Payroll Manager at Haines Watts, has been incredible in navigating us through the complexities of payroll and HMRC issues. Her approach is supportive and flexible and always ready to adapt to our latest requirements or plan ahead and all this with a professional, positive, ‘can do’ attitude.
We are so appreciative of all the efficient hard work and support that Haines Watts has provided to our business over the years. They are always there at the end of the telephone or email for all our queries – however small and they always help us in a cheerful and professional manner. I feel confident in my work knowing Haines Watts are always at hand if needed.
