Simon Whybrow
Friend & Grant are a good company with whom to do business. They do not seek to confuse you with “accountancy jargon” but explain what I need to know in plain English. They take a sincere interest in my business, are always efficient, enthusiastic and a joy to work with.
D Ferrers
We moved from our previous accountants due to the lack of personal service we received. Friend & Grant have provided exactly the opposite and it has been a pleasure to do business with them for the past few years. They really are a friendly bunch at Friend & Grant.
Donna Mak
As a seafarer impacted by unconventional legislation, Friend & Grant have helpfully provided me with the professional expertise and flexibility that I require to correctly report my affairs to HMRC, calculate complex deductions that minimise my taxable income, and ensure that I am not overcharged National Insurance.
Paul How
Friend and Grant compiled and managed my application for probate, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their calm efficiency and attention to detail through a complex process took much of the stress away at a difficult time for me. I was particularly impressed and grateful for the level of personal service, marked by regular contact and updates, and for going the extra mile to ensure a timely submission of the application.
