Testimonials

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.”

“Over the course of the last 12 years Hawsons Chartered Accountants have provided our business with excellent accounting services and specialist tax advice. Hawsons have always been knowledgeable, reliable and proactive in their service, and have taken the time to get to know our business. As the business has grown and evolved over time the tax advice we have received from Hawsons has been, and continues to be, particularly important. Highly recommended accountants and tax advisers.”

“As a practice, we have used Hawsons for around 10 years. During this time Hawsons have been a huge asset to our organisation. As well as proving comprehensive financial accounts, they have a huge amount of NHS knowledge and understanding which is vital to the preparation of GP accounts. They have also provided a significant amount of professional advice with regard to the practice, including 24-hour retirement, APMS funding and NHS Pensions guidance. I would, and do, certainly recommend them to any other practice seeking a new accountancy firm.”

“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.”

As well as their professional and friendly service, we have been particularly impressed with their knowledge of how we operate as a business in our sector. We have no hesitation in recommending Hawsons to anyone looking for a new accountant.”

 

“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”

Highly recommended accountants.”

“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.

From a personal point of view, we greatly appreciate your warmth and understanding of our situation.”

“We moved to Hawsons in 2010 on the recommendation of our bankers. It was a difficult decision at the time both in terms of the costs involved and breaking a good relationship with our existing accountants. From the outset we received excellent forecasting, sound advice and support. The fact that they had the trust of our bankers was very helpful. Not only are they very professional and proficient accountants but they are a thoroughly pleasant bunch of people to do business with. I would unhesitatingly recommend Hawsons Chartered Accountants.”
