PEM have a number of specialist sector teams, including property, and these teams bring their detailed knowledge to our affairs. Our annual audit is carried out efficiently, to an agreed timetable and fee, and through regular meetings we discuss a wide range of issues.

Additionally we value the informative conferences, seminars and talks which are held each year and cover an extensive list of business related concerns".

IDology International Ltd

"The Virtual Finance Office - run superbly by Doris Brandwood has exceeded all of my expectations. I was seeking a cheaper solution than my two day a week accountant - but with the same level of expertise and business knowledge that he possessed. Doris has been all of those things and more. She is proactive in suggesting improvements at every stage of our processes and will regularly create new ways of looking at Management Information, if she feels this will make my role, as MD, easier.

Her system is up to date and she's been able to automate, what took my previous accountant - hours. She responds almost immediately to all requests and has tenaciously improved our cash flow through her rigour around payment schedules. I recommend her and the VFO very highly - not only will you save money, but you'll get a better service than you have now!".

Meldform Metals Ltd

"PEM has acted for us as Business Advisers now for many years and our association has grown considerably. They understand the needs of our business, and the services they offer us range from audit and accounts preparation, to more complex matters relating to the sale of one of our companies and staff issues. Their local and business knowledge has been invaluable, particularly with regard to Government grants and the complex SMART Award application review system, which they have carried out on our behalf. We like to know that help is always on hand, and this is what we get from PEM - the best advice on which to make our business decisions as and when we need it, and all just a phone call away".

Royston Labels

"When we first asked PEM to look after our financial affairs we were trading modestly as an unincorporated business. Since then with their help we have gone from strength to strength. We have incorporated and through careful financial and tax planning built up the company to a position of considerable financial strength. We really like the way in which we receive proactive advice and our meetings are all about setting targets, monitoring progress and thereby achieving results. The advice we receive is presented in "plain English" and we are always kept informed of any changes in tax and company law enabling us to run our business more successfully. Through regular meetings we are able to respond quickly to any matters as they arise and this has been invaluable in sustaining our business growth. We look forward to a continuing close relationship working together to achieve our financial goals".

Top Hex

"Good Accountants are worth their weight in gold, and this is certainly true of PEM. As the Director of a small business, I changed our company accountant several times before I was introduced to PEM. I will not be changing again. Good Accountants are more than bean-counters, they look forwards as well as backwards. They fill the role of Financial Director within a small business, advising but never interfering. Not only does PEM have an amazing depth of knowledge and resource, they know to apply this knowledge to benefit my business. As individuals, the people I deal with are extremely approachable and down-to-earth, however PEM are a team, and even the Partners will happily defer to a colleague if they are out of their area of expertise. In a profession full of big egos, this is extremely refreshing! PEM has helped me my business to grow, even through times of economic uncertainty. If you are looking to build your business; I would strongly recommend speaking to them".

We have been impressed with the advice we have received and the continuity of staff dealing with our affairs. The partners and staff have a wide range of specialisms and the advice we have received has helped us successfully grow our business and kept us very well informed at all times".

In the short time they have acted for us we have considerably reduced the time taken for the production of statutory accounts and resolved a number of taxation issues inherited from our previous advisors.
