What Our Clients Say ...
Here at Kirk Newsholme we regularly
ask our clients what they think about us so here is some
of the feedback:-
“The best thing about dealing with Kirk Newsholme
is the people – they have a genuine interest in you
and always go the extra mile.”
“Having never previously been involved in a business
sale, we were anxious about the prospect of selling our
firm to a much larger organisation. Despite the fact that
they were represented by a ‘big 4’ international
practice, Kirk Newsholme appeared to lead the process every
step of the way and we are delighted with the outcome.”
“They always respond to phone calls and emails promptly.
Whenever I phone they never ask who is calling and I am
put straight through to the person I ask for. All their
staff are so friendly I never feel as though I am being
a nuisance”.
"We had been somewhat reticent to changing
our auditor but the team at KN very quickly got up to speed
with our business and the transition has been pretty much
seamless."
“For some time we had wanted to live abroad but
had dismissed it as we couldn’t see how we could
still run our company. Kirk Newsholme has stepped in to
provide every aspect of operating our business leaving
us free to source new products and progress the business
as we would like, whilst ‘living our dream’.”
“The biggest change I noticed when moving to Kirk
Newsholme was the level of partner involvement. At my previous
accountants this was just a once a year visit maybe I should
have asked for more involvement but at Kirk Newsholme this
has just seemed to happen naturally”.
“We wanted to ensure a smooth exit
strategy for another retiring shareholder and also needed
to obtain funding to purchase his shares. Unlike our
previous advisors, Kirk Newsholme simplified the whole
process for everyone concerned.”
“Our FD had to take 6 months leave
of absence which left us with a huge problem. KN stepped
in and fulfilled this role and because of history and
strong relationship with them, they hit the ground running.”
“Kirk Newsholme used their extensive
knowledge with respect to highly complex tax issues and
the completion of our group restructuring has resulted
in huge tax benefits both for the directors and the firm.”
“We asked for a review or our director’s pension
arrangements as they had been taken out some years ago.
It transpired that the policies were both inflexible and
the charges were relatively high. We now operate Self Invested
Personal Pension Plans (SIPPs), that suit us as they offer
complete flexibility in terms of how much and when premiums
are paid – ideal for us as our profits fluctuate
year on year and all our premiums are now fully invested.”
“Having previously only rented premises,
we had the opportunity to buy. By trawling through the
minefield of the complex tax rules relating to VAT and
Stamp duty, KN saved us hundreds of thousands of pounds.
We now truly appreciate the value of pro-active tax advice.”
“This year we needed our accounts producing within
two weeks of our year end for commercial reasons. I was
very impressed with the commitment shown by Kirk Newsholme
and the extremely long hours they worked in order to meet
that deadline”.
“We were introduced to their financial
advisor because there was concern that the level of cover
on our share protection was inadequate. Having analysed
our arrangements it was identified that not only was
this the case but one of the policies needed to be placed
in trust to ensure that the arrangement was actually
effective. A more competitive insurer was also sourced
which resulted in immediate reductions on the premiums
paid.
“Our business has grown substantially in the years
we have been dealing with Kirk Newsholme. We started with
simple manual records and they provided training and telephone
support to move us onto a computerised accounting system
and now to a very detailed job costing system. The benefits
of this can be seen on the bottom line”.
“We don’t have the luxury of a financial accountant
in house. We appointed Kirk Newsholme to bridge this skills
gap and we are delighted with the results. We have quarterly
meetings now with people who keep us on track toward our
targets. Knowing that Kirk Newsholme are coming in gives
us the discipline we needed as an organization”.
“In the past we were constantly frustrated by a
lack of financial information from our accountants. Kirk
Newsholme have organized our staff so that we know in advance
what they want us to produce, and we now have our final
year end accounts within 1 month of our year end – a
transformation which we never thought achievable and which
gives us control over our affairs”.
