What our customers said...

“All the Smart Finance Team have added value for us. Tracy with her sometimes-brutal honesty, Zal bringing the initial plan and structure together and Caroline with her calm and efficient way of working. Kasia is a diamond, incredibly productive and has great understanding of her profession which is evident in the way she explains sometimes quite complex accounting treatments in layman’s terms.”
Geoff Turral,
Director Car Cloud Community (Midlands)
“We have built a really strong relationship with Tracy. I trust her and can talk to her about all business matters. They offer a great solution for innovation led businesses looking for more than just bookkeeping. I especially value the financially based business thinking which Tracy brings to our executive team.”
Alan D Roth,
CEO Oxford Drug Design Ltd (Oxfordshire)
“They redesigned our management accounts, which are now both easier to read and produced in a timely manner. Subsequently, this highlighted improvements we could make to our fee rates, and when we reviewed these in detail, it led to a positive impact on our profit margins.”

“It’s great to have Janet, Sarah and Caroline dedicated to the finance and grant admin work, bringing their experience, improving efficiencies, and completing the work as the main purpose of their role. It would have been impossible for me to manage everything without them, given the increase in the volume of transactions as our R&D has accelerated.”
Holt Wong,
COO Qdot (Oxfordshire)

Director Summertown Garage Ltd (Oxfordshire)
