The JS LLP team have provided long term support for Brookbanks, including specialist restructuring advice as the company has evolved and grown in scale. They have provided high quality advisory and implementation support, often helping us to navigate complex legislative frameworks, which has enabled our business rapidly to develop and follow growth opportunities.

Paul Boileau Group Managing Director

The team at JS have made a significant difference to our organisation. The collective expert advice from across their teams has supported us to make valuable improvements to our systems and processes. The support given during the transitional phase following a Digital review has been outstanding. They took the time to understand our needs, offering valuable ongoing support at a great value. My only regret was not working with JS years ago.

Tony Brown CEO

We have dealt with JS for many years, and we have received excellent service. The JS team have helped us with many different issues from demergers to trusts. Everything has been managed in a professional manner.

Paul Henderson Director, Henderson Textiles Co Limited

Choosing JS as our accountant just over 3 years ago was the best decision we made. They have been more than adequate at the basic accounting practices, and in addition they have helped with our transition from a Partnership to a Limited Company.

Katie Locke Director, Morris Quality Bakers Limited

JS are a full-service independent accountancy practice that supports growing businesses and their owners by providing proactive and commercial advice. We have worked closely with the team at JS for many years and have always found them to be a reliable and trusted partner for our mutual clients. I would have no hesitation in recommending JS to any ambitious business.

Gerard Lucas Partner, Dow Schofield Watts

The team at JS have provided us with a conscientious and cost-effective service over the last 20 years with proactive partner-led advice provided over and above what we were able to find from other accountants.

Jonathan Grant Group Chief Executive, W Howard Group Limited

We have worked with JS since 2017 as they have capable, skilled people, and we have developed a strong working relationship with the audit partner and team. JS give us a good level of attention, which was lacking in our previous audit relationship. We wanted an audit firm that demonstrated a good understanding of our business rather than relying on a one size fits all approach. JS provides a quality audit with robust planning, regular communication and the resources to do an effective job.

Chris Thexton Group Finance Director, Perrys Group Limited

JS have been our adviser and auditor for over 20 years, and they have supported the business by continuing to provide a high level of advice and knowledge across a variety of accounting and taxation issues. Regular communication throughout the year enables JS to keep up to date with our business and provide the necessary support that we require.

Craig Harris Finance Director, Waterfields (Leigh) Limited

JS have supported my consultancy business for over 6 years – always very responsive, helpful and extremely knowledgeable on all tax affairs. Compared to other more expensive firms I have used, JS is head and shoulders the best I’ve worked with and provided the best advice with great value. JS guided my business very well through the digital changes to VAT – very supportive and felt that we were all on one team.

Dr David Cartmell Director, Mainslane Limited

In just over a year JS managed to resolve, to our benefit, a major issue we had with HMRC which previous accountants had been unable to achieve in over 4 years, having concluded that HMRC were correct, whereas JS proved the opposite enabling our case to be closed in support of our stance. They have also assisted greatly in a share reorganisation, family trust planning and SSAS Pension Fund advice on numerous technical matters and are working with us on the setting up of a new development company. We look forward to a continued successful relationship with them moving forward.

Peter Schickhoff-Brown Director, Ancer Investments Limited

We are delighted with JS and their entire professional and energetic team, who are so keen to ensure we reach our personal goals within our company as well as our legal and regulatory obligations. As a company, we need pushing hard in directions where we have weakness and the team headed by Diane Brennan recognise this and they politely, but firmly, ensure we play our part in achieving results. Thank you for being there, we really appreciate it and look forward to working together for a stronger future.

Andrew Russell Managing Director, Interior Door Systems Limited

JS have been our accountants for over 20 years, but in 2005 they started to work more closely with us in preparing monthly management accounts for analysis by both our bank and directors. I was assigned a key client contact who was always on hand to help with any sort of query I had throughout the month and always replied in a quick and precise manner, putting themselves out to help. The team are very knowledgeable, explaining all the information, why it’s important to analyse it and how this impacts on the profitability and success of the company.

Natalie Lund Director, Bryken Limited

During our acquisition of Howards Opticians we found the team at JS to be both professional and friendly. The help, advice and support provided to us from day one was invaluable. The clear, hands on, nothing-too-much trouble approach from the partners was very welcome. It put us at ease during our first transaction of this type. We look forward to a continuing working relationship with JS in the future and would certainly recommend their services to everyone.

Stuart and Lisa Wilson Directors, Howards Opticians

The Trust has used the services of JS since 2004, to audit financial procedures and records, and to prepare annual financial statements. JS have been conscientious and cost-effective, with each consecutive year providing an increasingly effective and knowledgeable view of the School’s financial situation, including benchmarking performance against comparable schools elsewhere in the country. The team has also provided additional advice on request, such as guidance on changes in charitable status and the SORP, fundraising and measures to identify and minimise risk.

Paul Flint Bursar and Clerk to the Board of Governors, Windermere School

We invited 3 accountancy firms to come and meet us and explain the services which they could provide. We found JS to be the firm we would most like to work with. Not only were their prices competitive, but their approach was very refreshing. The team were extremely pleasant and able to simplify the explanation of our accounts down to a level which staff and trustees were able to understand. They also identified that for our organisation it may be better to change the year-end from March to December. This has been an extremely positive change, enabling us to appraise the organisation as a whole in terms of the seasonal nature of what we do.

Fiona Smith Farm Manager, Acorn Farm

JS have not only been our business partners for a number of years now, preparing our accounts, performing our audit and advising on taxation issues, but have also been an integral part of our community. We are pleased to have an auditor and adviser who really does understand the special nature of our sporting community, and they continually offer a broad depth of advice based on a thorough knowledge of our business.

Karl Fitzpatrick Chief Executive Officer, Warrington Wolves
