"As an entrepreneur and angel investor, I have not only managed to create modest wealth, but also considerable financial complexity. That complexity requires a diverse range of accounting expertise, especially related to tax, to ensure that my annual reporting is both thorough and accurate. Bessler Hendrie have always managed to provide me with peace of mind in the knowledge that my financial affairs are far better understood by them than by the person who created them. I simply provide them with details of investment transactions as they occur, give them complete access to all investment reporting, and every year they magically tell me how much tax to pay so I can focus on creating more complexity. I rely heavily on Bessler Hendrie who have never let me down."
"Kelly's Storage joined Bessler Hendrie just over 3 years ago and our profits have doubled! It is far more than just the numbers, it is like having another member on the leadership team. They advise us which areas of the business to focus on, acquisitions, inheritance planning and even assisting with recruitment. A very personal touch, always on the end of the phone. I would highly recommend Bessler Hendrie and in particular Matthew Oliver."
"Bessler Hendrie have looked after our family tax returns for over 15 years. The returns range from relatively simple to very complex, but they have shown themselves able to deal with all aspects efficiently and within a sensible budget. There has been excellent continuity of staff and consistency of delivery."
"Bessler Hendrie LLP have been an invaluable support to our business and more over to us as business owners over the past 4 years. Peter Nicholls and his team have managed a complicated transition in services from a previous and long standing accountancy firm, providing a highly professional yet very friendly and approachable shoulder of support to us. Every question we have is always met with considered advice, options and alternative views and most importantly they are a trusted source of accurate and up to date information. As we take our company on to its next phase of growth we know we are being safely guided by Bessler Hendrie."
"As a technology-led business in a traditional industry, we needed advisors who recognised that we weren’t your typical lawyers. We needed someone who understood that the effective use of technology would be a key differentiator and Matt and the team at Bessler Hendrie were head and shoulders above the other firms we looked at. Their infectious enthusiasm for our success makes a huge difference to us, and when working in a regulated environment, the real-world commercial advice that they continue to offer gives us the assurance we need."
"We have been clients of Bessler Hendrie for over 10 years and Robert Watkins has been looking after our personal and company tax affairs. The firm originally advised James and I on the purchase of the partnership and were very thorough and fought our corner at all times. Robert is very approachable and is always on hand to offer advice when required and has a very calm and balanced approach to any questions posed. I would highly recommend Bessler Hendrie, an accounting firm that have all areas of specialty covered. "
"Vail Williams LLP have worked with Bessler Hendrie LLP since 2008. We are a national property advisory firm and Bessler Hendrie have supported us with tax compliance, both for the partnership and the individual partners throughout, together with ad hoc advice on specific projects for the business and individual tax planning for the partners. The Team, led by Julie Bryant and Nicky Hart, are a pleasure to deal with and are always ready to assist us, both as a business and as individuals. They relish a technical challenge and help us navigate the complex world of tax, so that we are confident that our tax affairs are in safe hands. "
"Before moving to BH in 2011, I had changed accountants 3 times within a 5 year period. At the time my businesses were startups and I had naively relied on the previous firms to advise me and make sure all accounting matters were in order. BH were the only firm that actually looked after my interests, not only as if they were partners in the business but as if they were family. BH supported me both emotionally and professionally through these difficult times and gave me confidence that success was around the corner. Needless to say it was a very long and bumpy ride but BH did not waiver no matter how hard things got. As the businesses eventually became successful, BH helped me resolve numerous issues and they supported me through a very complex sale process in 2020. I think that without BH, my businesses would not have survived and I definitely would not have achieved a sale that I was happy with."
