"I would like to offer this testimonial as a thank you to Stewart Fletcher & Barrett Accountants in Nuneaton/Hinckley. I have to say that I am very impressed with the service that SFB offer, after speaking with Jon about some of the concerns I had with my previous accountant, he promptly put my mind at rest with the answers and due to his professional approach I decided to put my business accounts into their hands.
Jon advised that David Halkett would be looking after me and should I have any questions then he would be there to help me.
I have to say that all the questions I did have probably sounded very basic, but to me they were very important as I needed to know the answers. David welcomed my questions and provided me with the necessary answers, he was very proactive in advising me of information and also ensuring that I understood the process and at what stage my accounts were at. Stewart Fletcher & Barrett enabled me to stop worrying about my business accounts as they took it out of my hands and freed me up to run my business.
I would like to say thank you for allowing me to sleep at night knowing that my accounts are in safe hands. I am confident in the service they have provided me with and would not hesitate to recommend to any other business."

"I just wanted to write to you to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for the expert support given to my business and me personally, over the last 2-3 months on our recent acquisition of a competitor three times our size.
As you know all too well, there were MANY significant hurdles we have had to overcome and your expert advice has proved not just to be invaluable, but was actually a key enabler to make the whole deal happen.
Whilst we have loosely met once or twice over the past few years, this was my first real encounter with SFB as a business and I have to say that I have been mightily impressed … you have demonstrated over the time to be far more than ‘a firm of Accountants’ (that’s meant as a big compliment!).
Being able to draw on your vast amount of knowledge, introducing me to key people and other experts from your widespread network, but most importantly to me; simply knowing and being able to trust that you were there in the background, fighting my corner every step of the way took a huge burden off me and gave me absolute confidence.
Peter, running a business is never easy. I have to give my business a significant level of personal commitment and for want of a better word ‘personal sacrifice’ ranging from the many late night calls, weekend working, whatever is needed to get the job done.
Even on your holiday which unfortunately fell in the week we were due to complete, you were still checking emails and liaising with the various parties and calling me late into the evening. This, to me is the real differentiator between people who provide a service for a fee, to those who are genuinely passionate about stepping out the box to deliver and support their clients unreservedly.
You’ve genuinely done a great job for me Peter, so rest assured that I will without hesitation recommend you and SFB to anyone who I think should be using you…but the fact that I have now moved all our accountancy to SFB should be testimony enough to our level of satisfaction.
Please feel free to use this letter in any way you see fit (other than to increase your fees) and should you ever need a business reference or testimonial, please direct them to me in the first instance…I will be all too happy to put them straight!!!"

"Garland Partners Limited (GPL) is an established UK distributor working with several leading suppliers of Digital Video Capture, Streaming, Transcoding, Playback and Storage Solutions to deliver professional end-to-end systems for many applications including Internet TV, Mobile TV, Live Events, IPTV and Broadcast Services.
Established by Malcolm Harland and Lorna Garrett in 2003, the company has been a valued client of SFB since it was incorporated. Director Malcolm explains why GPL chose to work with our team, and why it has remained a loyal customer.
“When we first set up GPL, we were looking for an accountant that not only offered all of the necessary advice and practical help with our accounts, but one that also provided a service that was individually tailored to meet our business needs.
SFB has given us some highly valuable guidance and support since we started working together: looking after our bookkeeping, payroll, pensions and year-end accounts; setting up our partnership; and, ultimately, saving us time and money.
But, although this assistance has been extremely helpful, it is the people that we have worked with at SFB that have made our dealings with the company a pleasure rather than a chore. They have been friendly as well as professional, and have always been happy to take the time to explain anything we don’t grasp straight away. I hope our relationship continues this successfully for many years to come."
