Testimonials

We pride ourselves on providing a quality service to all our clients. But don't take our word for it, see what our clients say:

"Friend and Grant have been our accountants for over seven years. We have always found them to be extremely helpful in all they do for the School. The whole staff has always provided unequalled support and an excellent service. I would recommend them unreservedly."

Dorothy Mellor, Bursar at Gads Hill School

"We've used Friend & Grant as our accountants for over 8 years. We consider them an integral part of our business development and management and rely on them for their sound accountancy and business advice. However, whilst guiding us in the right direction to maximise our profits, they never forget that it is our money they are dealing with. We are always pleased to recommend them to other businesses.

As a company they are friendly and approachable, making us feel like their most important client!

We are pleased to be associated with them and confident that our accounts are managed to their very best potential." 

Jo Austen, Director of Eyepro Limited

“Mark Friend and his colleagues have been providing accounting services, and invaluable business advice, to me since late 2000 (when I launched my business). Though my business relocated to Lincolnshire in 2003 I continue to use Friend & Grant because the company is so in tune with my business needs and personal objectives.”

Richard Warrilow, Managing Director of Declaration Limited

"Could I just take the time to say thanks to both you and the team at Friend & Grant for all the work you have done for us over the past 18 years.

Initially working closely with us to sort out the mess our accounts were in and subsequently guiding us through a tax investigation and helping us to get our VAT sorted out.

We have worked together now through two recessions and there is little doubt that without the help you gave us last year with your cash flow forecast, which highlighted some serious times ahead and your suggestions for the various changes we would have to make to avoid these potential problems we could have found ourselves in dire straits."

Larry Maynard, Director of All Pulley and Gear Developments Limited

"F&G have the skills to assimilate our business requirements quickly thereby identify cost and tax effective advice and strategies to move the business forward.

We have found that F&G is more a "working in partnership" relationship than that of purely a business service provider, it's this pro-active approach that adds value to the financial services they provide".

Bob Hudson, Director of Fostering Outcomes Limited

"Mark Friend has a genuine interest in his clients and how their business is developing. He has great vision and is always thinking of new initiatives to interest both existing and new clients".

Ian Barratt, Managing Director of The Stress Management Company Limited

"Mark Friend is one of the most proactive accountants that I know; we have been fortunate to have introduced each other to mutual clients over the years, and I have received nothing but thanks from companies and individuals that have used his extensive range of services. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for more than just an accountant!”
