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.

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.

We deal with many affluent clients and it is interesting how attitudes to inheritance tax can vary significantly, even between people with similar levels of wealth. Some say that they have paid taxes all their lives – on their income, asset sales, property purchases – and begrudge paying the treasury even one more pound in inheritance tax when they pass. Others feel that it will be someone else’s problem, so why should they worry. Most people are somewhere in the middle.
