Hear what our clients have to say about HawsonsTestimonials
We have been using Hawson’s Chartered Accountants for a number of years now for accounting, audit and tax services and I can’t fault them in anyway. They have also helped us on property matters when we acquired three new units and setting up group structures for the three companies. We are based in Northampton therefore use the Northampton office mainly dealing with David Owens who is always a pleasure to work with. I find Hawsons small enough that you can form good relationships with them but big enough to have all the experience and knowledge to be able to offer all the advice and help you need. I would highly recommend them!
“I would like to sincerely thank Jenny for the amazing work she has turned around in 24 hours, and for your quick review and sign off. I came to her yesterday at very late notice to ask what I thought was a simple question and of course it was about tax and it was not! It needed 7 items of information, analysis, assumptions building, and a report. I could have asked all of this 3 weeks ago! Jenny without any hesitation dropped her other priorities and shifted to my priority and delivered good clear analysis and information. I understand she worked into her evening to do it. It enabled me to make a difficult decision with the right information behind me, on time. This is the 2nd time I’ve had help from Hawsons and I will not hesitate to use and recommend you again. Thanks for being so customer focussed.”
“We have been a client of Hawsons since 2010 and throughout that time have found their services to be of the highest standard, provided by friendly and approachable staff. The care sector specialist knowledge of Scott Sanderson is of great use and reassurance to ourselves. Since moving to Hawsons we have successfully completed our first purpose built care facility project, supported with financing and business plan assistance from Hawsons’ in-house corporate finance team. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Scott and his team at Hawsons Chartered Accountants.”
“We approached Hawsons regarding the transfer of our weekly 100+ employee payroll. From the outset we were given the reassurance and confidence that everything would be transitioned across from our existing provider seamlessly – which it did – exceeding our expectations. Hawsons have the ability, capacity and skills to handle our tight reporting deadlines, dealing with late adjustments in the process. We would have no hesitation in recommending Hawsons.”
“For the past few years we have worked with Hawsons and have not looked back. The entire team are very helpful, professional and proficient. Hawsons assist us in making our business run seamlessly and advice is always to hand which is important to us as a family run company. I would without hesitation recommend Hawsons to any friends or business associates.”
“It’s been very reassuring to have Hawsons doing payroll. I still have occasional flashbacks to when we used an online payroll provider when every month was a time of terror…thanks for coming to the rescue.”
“The Hawsons Corporate Finance team worked with us from the very start of our management buy-out and the experience and expertise they provided was invaluable. From negotiating and structuring the deal to raising the finance and project managing the process, Hawsons were there to guide us every step of the way, they made the entire transaction remarkably smooth and efficient.”
“Jenny Brown has provided an extremely professional,highly competent, efficient help with my personal tax matters for many years. Jenny is always very friendly and quick to respond to my inquiries with informed practical help. I would recommend her without reservation.”
“Hawsons provided a very professional and expert service to us in making a successful claim for R&D tax credits. We were very impressed and have no hesitation in highly recommending them.”
“Hawsons have been our outsourced payroll provider since 2003. The length of this relationship we feel itself speaks volumes regarding the quality and reliability of the services provided. Over the course of our relationship we have seen some major changes within payroll, all of which have arrived and passed smoothly. Their ability to manage our tight timescales and deal with last minute amendments is truly first class, and something that sets Hawsons apart from other providers.”
“We have worked closely with Hawsons Chartered Accountants for many years now, and they have always gone one step further to ensure that we, and our clients, have been looked after to a very high standard. Their knowledge is extremely broad and they produce what is required accurately and on time.
They are accurate, fast to respond and nothing is ever too much trouble for them. Couldn’t want anything more from an accountancy firm we entrust our clients to.
Hawsons specialist staff members have become an indispensable part of our business dealings, we are fortunate to have chosen an accounting practice with a responsive, flexible and customer friendly ethos that matches our needs. It is difficult to pick out one facet of the firm but of particular note is Hawsons Payroll Service.
Outsourcing this critical function is always done with a certain amount of trepidation but their professionalism and capability, including answering queries and managing last minute change requests, is exceptional. Within Hawsons Payroll facility they are extremely fortunate to have the services of Sarah Horsfield – Payroll Senior who is quite simply the best and most helpful and supportive external staff member we as a company deal with.”
“We transferred our payroll to Hawsons in 2014. The transition was seamless. In that period of time they have shown that they are flexible to our requirements and nothing is too much trouble to them. We would have no problem in recommending them to anyone”
“When our previous payroll provider informed us of their decision to no longer continue offering their services, it seemed a logical move to transfer all of our payroll requirements to our external auditors, Hawsons Chartered Accountants. In hindsight, we should have carried this out years earlier, as we no longer have to worry about the interruptions of running such a system in house, allowing us to concentrate on other aspects of our day to day operations. Hawsons take care of all of our payroll needs, providing us with all the relevant reporting, tailor made to our company requirements. We no longer have to worry about updates to legislation, as Hawsons keep us well informed of any pending legal requirements. Last minute payroll adjustments are also taken care of very efficiently.
The transition was seamless and we would not hesitate in recommending Hawsons to take care of all your payroll requirements”
“Over the course of the last 40 years Hawsons Chartered Accountants have provided me with excellent first class service both on a professional and personal level. Ian Bryan has always provided my company with a first class reliable and knowledgeable service and has always gone that extra mile to answer any questions and queries that occur. One thing I never have to worry about is my business accounts. I would highly recommend Ian Bryan to anyone who needs a reliable, excellent accountant. Jenny Brown has dealt with my personal tax matters for many years and has provided me with a first class professional service and has always been proactive and responsive with any advice that has been required. I would not hesitate to recommend Jenny for personal tax matters.”
“Dear Stephen, Brilliant! And much appreciated. Many thanks for all your help and your offer of assistance. We’ll be in touch if there’s anything else to deal with and we’ll certainly be trying to enjoy the rest of our time here. It’s been a pleasure to work with you and we’re very grateful for everything. Your professional services were highly efficient and rapid, and of course we’ll happily recommend them to our family and friends. From a personal point of view, we greatly appreciate your warmth and understanding of our situation.”
“We appointed Hawsons as our auditors in 2016 and were impressed with both their knowledge of the charity sector and their approachability. Their practical approach to the audit made the changeover to Hawsons a smooth and stress free experience. The team were courteous, professional and user friendly throughout the audit process and provided valuable feedback once the exercise was completed”
