Brian's clients say

“I was nervous about moving to a big company but actually this has so many benefits. I thought using a bigger company would be expensive but actually worked out cheaper than who we previously used. I also feel comforted in knowing we have two dedicated people that really know our business inside out. Using PKF Francis Clark has provided networking opportunities and I know our legal and business bank account all work well together. I would recommend PKF Francis Clark to anyone without any hesitation, as they are prompt, reliable and knowledgeable within our sector.” Chris and Clare Dunstow, Colwith Farm

“As the whole business has expanded, having quality accountants is becoming more and more important for us. Brian Harvey sits on our quarterly management meetings, and it is not just accounts, it is full management help we get from Brian. We use Andersons as our consultants, and between Andersons and Brian, we’ve got a very good management team.” Jeremy Hosking, Director, Fentongollan Farm
