In Richard's Words
"As a financial services advocate, I try to make what is sometimes perceived as a 'dry' subject a bit more enjoyable and fun and I believe this is embodied across the whole business as we have worked with some clients in the private and corporate sectors for over 20 years on generational financial planning."
"Through our teams knowledge of complex NHS policy we have a large medical client base so creating a niche medical accountancy practice to enable us to deliver truly integrated advice with some of the best medical accountants and tax advisers in the North was a natural progression."
