Diversity Products Limited www.diversityproducts.co.uk

For Diversity Products, the Revell Ward Strategy Session was a thought provoking experience. It demonstrated to us as company directors, that as always, Revell Ward is highly focussed on helping its clients develop, not just by providing sound financial guidance but using its partners’ experience to help businesses plan for their future. The open and informal communication style of Revell Ward’s partners always creates an environment in which it is easier to discuss the complexities of business finance, and the Strategy Session was no exception.

We decided to tender for new auditors after being with another provider for a number of years. Due to the reduction in government funding our business was in the midst of change and we felt that we needed a fresh pair of eyes to look over our business and provide both support and challenge. Although we interviewed the top audit firms, the interview process, combined with previous experience, went to prove that we would be a small fish in a very big pond. We didn’t believe that we would receive the personal attention we required at this crucial stage of development in our business. We also need an auditor who really understood both the nuances and intricacies of our sector as well as an understanding of current position and where we needed to take the business to.

When we had an issue in our organisation which meant that we were unable to complete the fieldwork on the dates agreed Revell Ward were sympathetic to the issue and were quick to offer a solution.

The audit team were professional and efficient, finding just the right balance of support and challenge. Revell Ward recommended a shift in the way our accounts were presented and following rigorous discussion a set of financial statements were produced that more clearly and concisely communicated our position to the outside world. We believe that this approach will help us move from a grant based organisation to one that also has a stronger commercial element.

Perhaps, more importantly, the team at Revell Ward are easy to work with and thorough. I have would have no hesitation in recommending them. Should more information be required please do not hesitate to contact me, jo@capeuk.org.

I was introduced to Lesley Sutton of Revell Ward by my legal advisors on a share transaction. The business had previously implemented a share stucture which inadvertently diluted key shareholdings to below the magic 5% needed for use of entrepreneurs relief. Lesley quickly identified the issue and put a revised structure in place to protect our position going forward and then set about tackling HMRC to backdate the relief. The successful outcome meant a saving of some £120,000 in tax.

Lesley and Revell Ward were professional, timely and techically excellent and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Ready Steady Veg Ltd www.rsveg.co.uk

I was introduced to Lesley Sutton of Revell Ward by my accountant. We had previously invested cash in a business which had unfortunately ceased to trade before we were able to recover our investment. Lesley advised us to make a claim to crystallise a capital loss on the shares we had acquired, followed by a separate claim to offset this loss against our other income. The successful outcome resulted in a tax repayment of £16,000 for me and my wife

Lesley and Revell Ward offered a professional and timely service and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Brighter Connections Limited www.brighter-connections.com

Having worked with the team at Revell Ward for 5 years as our retained accountants we recently had a need for a temporary bookkeeper. This requirement came about due to our own bookkeeper becoming ill and needing to take an extended break from work. We were introduced to Lynn who is now a valued member of our team and as a sign of our growing relationship we invited Lynn to join us at our annual Christmas dinner! Whilst we miss our own bookkeeper, Lynn gets through a lot of work when she is here and we are very impressed with her efforts. Having looked at alternative options to cover our medium terms needs, the outsource service from Revell Ward came out on top for value and addressing our business needs.

Calderdale & Kirklees Careers Ltd

Revell Ward talk our language, they offer expert help in a down-to-earth, straight-talking kind of way. We can ask quick questions without racking up costs and they have helped us to become more self-sufficient in our approach to accountancy and taxation work; safe in the knowledge that they are there for us when we have reached the limit of our capabilities. Accordingly, the relationship is a good one that is mutually beneficial, and its cost-effective for us - we wouldn't have stuck with them for 15 years otherwise, (give or take the odd takeover and amalgamation in between). Access to our support team at Revell Ward is generally very good. Revell Ward look to solve our problems rather than just give us the strict accounting perspective and they have taken the time to get to know our business well. We would recommend Revell Ward to others looking for a similar relationship.
