Accounting & Audit Service
“I did not value our annual audit until we appointed Watsons. They highlighted a serious flaw in our delivery procedures and its resultant losses over the years. With their help we tightened our controls to ensure it did not reoccur and recovered money for the supply of goods that had gone unnoticed.”
John Fowler, manufacturing Engineers
Corporate Strategy Service
“Previously we had not really worried about the detail, as long as there were sufficient funds available we thought everything was going okay. It wasn’t until we started eating into our overdraft facility did we notice a problem. We contacted Watsons and they came in and produced accurate, up to date Management Accounts which immediately highlighted our costing problems. We now use them quarterly to review our figures and provide valuable input.”
Richard Stacey,Building Contractors
Business Development Service
“Finding Watsons when I did changed my life. My father’s business was in a poor state and I questioned whether I should have taken it on ! Watsons supported me through the tough early days giving me sound advice and helping me raise the necessary finance – first to survive and then to grow. Then they sat me down in a series of very challenging but rewarding meetings to prepare a Business Plan that I am still following successfully today.”
I Jones, Private Hire Company
Litigation Support
“A very involved matrimonial case landed on my desk full of accounts and valuations. I wondered how I was going to deal with the financial details but I knew Watsons provided a litigation support service for solicitors. Ever since that first phone call to them I’ve never hesitated in seeking their professional assistance. In this instance they provided me with a report detailing valuations and tax issues and appeared in Court to help settle the inevitable dispute over money. The Client was very satisfied with the outcome which would not have been so favourable had my firm and Watsons not teamed up!”
Robert Loader, Solicitor
Taxation
“I was so pleased I talked to Watsons before I proceeded with the sale of my business. I had no idea that the way the deal was structured could have such an effect on the Capital Gains Tax liability. They literally saved me thousands of pounds !!”
Diana Brown, Retail Outlet
IT Support Service
“Watsons made our transition to dedicated accounting software so easy. They dealt with everything, including a regular training session at my premises to ensure things were going okay.”
John Rayney, Electrical Contractors
Payroll
“Even though we are a significant employer we never regretted outsourcing our payroll to Watsons. Their professional, courteous and cost effective service is an invaluable asset to our business. Our dedicated accounts team, although well qualified, was not in the position to keep up to date with all the changes in payroll legislation. Outsourcing to Watsons ensures we adhere to all the necessary legislation, keep up-to-date and save money on training in the process.”
Ian Duncan, Electronic Engineering (40 employees)
