Testimonials

I would definitely recommend your probate services to others. I found the service efficient and I would have struggled to complete both the required Probate paperwork correctly, and also the IHT calculations and payments to HMRC, without MFW’s help and advice. Well done MFW.

Probate testimonial

 

I must say it has been a pleasure working with the team at MFW. They have been managing our accounts, monthly payroll, annual P11Ds and all submissions to HMRC since 2020. The staff at MFW are very friendly, flexible, approachable, and very helpful. They make you feel a part of their team. Since I started, it has been a positive experience, from the Receptionists to whoever you call to speak to, they are so polite and help with your query. They spot mistakes you might miss and work with you to fix it.

I can pick the phone, whenever I have a query, and it is picked within three rings, and my query solved or I am pointed in the right direction within minutes, and I have never been told to call back or that they are busy.

MFW make time for their clients. I have not met anyone from the firm, but I feel I have known them forever.

I would recommend them to businesses in Sittingbourne, around Kent or beyond. I have worked in Human Resources since 2001 and for various sectors, and I have never come across accountants like MFW. I find them to be very professional.

Herne Bay client testimonial

 

MFW have been my accountants throughout my working life as a freelance musician, offering pertinent and invaluable advice. More recently I have returned to them for help with probate following the death of my mother. I would like to say a special thank you to Leigh for his calm and efficient approach to dealing with all the paperwork at this difficult time, exacerbated by Covid-19. Leigh kept me well informed at each stage of the process and was very quick to respond to any email queries. I am also pleased to report that everything has been finalised sooner than expected.

As an independent policy think-tank, renowned for the quality of our research and high profile events, Localis requires a financial partner who can adapt as fast as we sometimes have to in a frenetic political world.

Since engaging with us, MFW has treated us as a unique and respected client, always working to understand our changing business needs. After more than a year of working for us, MFW had transformed our approach to running our short-term finances and planning to achieve our long-term business goals. For a small but busy research outfit, having surety as to our financial position is of immense benefit to senior staff and board directors. Furthermore, knowing that there is a dedicated, friendly and responsive MFW team on hand who can sort out any payroll or payment issues in a trice is a huge benefit.

When COVID-19 began to impact our business operations from the middle of March 2020, MFW offered a seamless and hugely effective service to deal with all the unknowns. Without the dedication of the staff, and the professionalism of their service, we would have struggled to turn our own business situation around in anything like the speed we achieved. As a trusted, highly professional, capable and dynamic provider of financial services and assistance, I cannot recommend MFW highly enough.

Localis Research Limited

 

I would like to place on record, the process of handover from our previous accountants, management of providing and processing financial information, exceeding the previous level with a much higher quality of response, and, without a doubt, the most pleasing aspect has been level of customer service provided. Leigh, Julian and Pam, are all a huge credit to your organisation.

It’s not often I give out this level of praise but, honestly, first class, if only I could keep up guys!!!

MFW Herne Bay – New client testimonial

 

Our company has been using MFW since 2014 for our audit and tax computations, initially for Fal Aviation UK Limited, one of the smaller companies of the group, and more recently for London Ashford Airport Limited.

I have always found Jonathan Fullarton and his team to be thorough and professional in their approach to the audit process, while achieving what is required within the time deadlines.

They are always friendly and approachable, and are willing to be able to give advice if required.

I am more than happy to recommend their services.

Accountant & Payroll Officer – London Ashford Airport Limited

 

Jonathan Fullarton and the MFW Dover team have audited our accounts since 2014. They are efficient, supportive and accessible.

MFW audit our company accounts, they are a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend MFW and have done so to other businesses, who have been equally pleased.

Club Accountant & HR Administrator – Lydd Golf Club & Driving Range Ltd

 

We have worked with MFW for over 25 years, and Jonathan Fullarton has been our advisor for a number of years. We have always found him to be very knowledgeable and professional. He has a very high level of integrity and is a very honest person. He is always quick to respond to questions and queries, and is very friendly and approachable.

Intercrop Ltd

 

When my previous accountant retired, I was very upset because she had looked after me for years and helped me through difficult times. She was so lovely and efficient, and I was worried that no one could take her place. But I would like to say that Lee and Hannah, at the MFW Maidstone office, have been wonderful. They discovered that I was paying far too much tax since my husband died in 2014.

The efficiency and professionalism from Lee and Hannah has made a massive difference to my life, and also to the life of my young daughter. We are now able to have a nice holiday this year.

A client of MFW Maidstone

 

I have worked with MFW Dover for many years and their support and service is exceptional. The team are brilliant and they often bend over backwards to help and advise. Their all-round business advice is something I would not ordinarily associate with an accountancy firm, but Ian Pascall and the team are always there to help and offer their support, accumulated from many years of business experience. Absolutely first class. Their costs are reasonable, and I cannot fault them in any way.

Mr S Edwards, MD CAD Surveys Ltd

 

I run a small business, and my main worries are any tax implications. Having Leigh there to hold my hand makes me feel confident in pushing my business forward. He has been great, always ready to answer any questions I put to him. My business has recently gone VAT registered, and I can’t thank Leigh enough for all the help with setting this up.

Mr D Parkinson, 1st Stop Property Solutions Ltd

 

We engaged your firm some years ago due to a very disappointing service from our previous accountants and, due to this previous poor performance, we were naturally concerned about the service to be received from yourselves.

Leigh Jones was assigned to our company and, from our very first introduction, has proved to be a highly competent and professional person. We are delighted with the service received from Leigh, who always has time to discuss any points, no matter how small, and his guidance has always proved to be a great asset in the running of the business.

Due to Leigh, we now use MFW for our other property development and lettings business, plus for the personal tax affairs of our directors.

We can thoroughly recommend MFW and, particularly, Leigh Jones, as any client will be in safe hands. Top marks all round!

MFW have been GLL’s auditors and accountants for over 20 years. The quality of service and the level of professionalism they provide are second to none. Over the years, they have provided invaluable support. They employ a high level of due diligence in everything they do. They are proactive in their approach and have always ensured GLL receives the best advice. Their attitude is one of nothing is ever too much trouble. I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of MFW to any prospective clients.

Philip Donnay, Director of Finance, GLL

 

When we converted to academy status, we were well aware of the new statutory regulations placed upon us with regard to company accounting procedures and practices. Choosing the right accountant, therefore, was of great importance to us.

In our opinion MFW Sittingbourne offers the right balance of challenge and support that has enabled us to undertake the conversion successfully, review our policies and implement new financial software without too much stress. The members of staff at all levels at MFW are very knowledgeable and experienced in how a school functions, so advice has always been appropriate and helpful.

Our appointed accountant, Partner Clair Rayner, listens to our needs and adapts her own practice to suit. The team is friendly and approachable and provides us with a most professional service.

We would have no concerns about recommending MFW to other schools and academies.

Kevin Dickens, Deputy Head Teacher and Business Manager, The Abbey School Faversham

 

Ian Pascall immediately gave me good professional advice in a friendly manner and took the trouble to answer questions my last accountant hadn’t. This made a significant difference to my liabilities and, as a result, my lifestyle.

Clair’s in-depth knowledge surrounding the academies sector has been invaluable. She has gone to great lengths to provide support during the free school process and has been a pleasure to work with. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services or that of MFW.

Before working with MFW we operated our own payroll system, it was time consuming and laborious keeping up with the latest changes from HMRC.

If we had known how simple it would be to hand everything over, we would have done it sooner. The team at MFW are a pleasure to work with and are extremely efficient at what they do.

They have taken the stress out of payroll and are always on hand to answer any concerns we may have. We would thoroughly recommend the services of MFW.

MFW have been our company & personal accountants for over 25 years. During that time, we have always had excellent service from the MFW team. As we all know there are times when quick advice is required & MFW have always responded as required. One thing we do notice is the depth of knowledge within the practice when questions aren’t of the norm!
