TESTIMONIALS

"We have been delighted with the speed and accuracy of the accounting service we have received" Robert Mardsen of Collingham Ltd

"We approached acuity associates to meet our accounting needs with some hesitation, as it had always been an in-house role previously. However, acuity associates were able to convince us of the benefits of contracting out our accounting function. Moreover, acuity impressed us with their commitment to understand our business and to get the right person to meet our needs. They succeeded so well, in fact, that we have now taken on that person directly. Throughout the course of our relationship with acuity, they have been helpful, flexible and switched on to our business. Whilst we had very little contact with them after the initial engagement, we were very satisfied with the set up and were not seeking their input. I would definitely recommend acuity to other small businesses seeking to improve and streamline their accounting function." Liz Cox, Director, The Big Picture

"It is a pleasure to recommend acuity associates to any individual or organisation who needs accounting help. Ben Mekie runs the business very smoothly and professionally, you know they are there when you need them. The accountant who has been helping my partner's business has been brilliant, excellent at his job, proactive and providing sage advice." Jane Wilson; Weft.

"The associate hasn't suggested I contact you about how delighted I am by his professionalism. But I felt I should anyway.

Given his extraordinary efforts, attention to detail, courtesy, flexibility, very strong work-ethic and good humour - all of which exceed my expectations, he's taken a load from our shoulders which in turn has enabled me to progressively focus on those aspects of business i.e. selling, that I'm best at.

He's doing a truly first rate job and I'm delighted I found your company." Howard Popeck; Stereo Now

"acuity associates provide book-keeping services for both my companies; an executive coaching business and an online information-products business. The service I've received from them is highly efficient, completely geared to my level of requirement and grows as my businesses grow.

Ben is sensitive to the cash flow requirements of new and growing entrepreneurial ventures and runs a designer service, essential to this market. It frees up SME business leaders to do what they do best, knowing that their numbers will be looked after by professional bookkeepers and accounts doing what they do best.

acuity associates creates a win win on every level. I thoroughly recommend their services." Jennifer Broadley from Smart Coaching International
