As a property landlord and investor Friend & Grant have provided me with exceptional tax advice and assistance over the last 20 years and invaluable forward tax planning for the years ahead with their detailed knowledge of inheritance tax implications and advice on future property disposal and asset transfer strategies.

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.
