“Aeros had been with their previous accountancy firm for over a decade and I felt their focus had slipped. We were not getting the appropriate level of service and there was a lack of communication. They left the filing of the accounts until the 11th hour which made us feel extremely nervous.

The decision to move was daunting, but Pentlands really stood out from the other firms, they made the process feel simple. Elinor is easy to connect with, she knows her stuff when it comes to accountancy and the Pentlands team have experience of our industry.

What appealed was that Pentlands offer much more then preparing accounts. They can support in the growth of the business, provide Tax advice, helps us to explore exit strategies and more…

In the first year of working with Pentlands they excelled beyond expectation. They worked closely with us and liaised with our former accountant. Jacob kept us informed at every step of the process. In addition we had had a successful year and wanted the accounts filed promptly so that we could take advantage of the position. So, not only did they ensure a smooth transition from one firm to the other, they also filed the accounts 3 months ahead of the deadline.

In changing accountants you’d anticipate some hiccups along the way, but with Pentlands there weren’t any. If you are filled with trepidation at the thought of moving accountants, you’ll find with Pentlands you have nothing to worry about.”
