FIND OUT MOREWe have worked closely with Friend & Grant for several years and it is no exaggeration to say that the growth of our business might not have been possible without the level of support we have received. Having taken considerable time to understand what we do and develop a package that suits our business and our clients’ needs, the service has been second to none.
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.
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.
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.
Are you hungry for success? If you run a small to medium size business and you want to grow your sales, increase profitability and pay less tax then you have come to the right place.
