REVIEWS

STEPHEN, APR 24

“Team efficiently led by Zahib under the tutorage of Katie, focusing on the key issues early, rather than the routine chaf, whilst working effectively with our central team and local teams. NED’s like the comms, telling us the issues rather than maybe other advisors telling us how wonderful they are. I’ve just about got used to the colour scheme 😉 . Already recommended CP – says it all!”

JAMES, APR 24

“Good communication, proactive team.”

NATALIE, APR 24

“Extremely professional and pragmatic – a breath of fresh air.”

CARL, APR 24

“We have excellent access to our audit partner. The audit team are professional and the assignment is well ran and to time. The quality of reports is great and everyone likes the way they are presented. We have tapped into other advisory services and found the support and advice excellent. Can’t think of any improvements needed.”
