HW Fisher have looked after my personal and company accounts for many years and their unrivalled understanding of the publishing industry, of writers' earnings has been invaluable. They always save me far more than they cost me! And they are also so nice!

Report
In my capacity as Finance Director I have engaged HWF on audit, tax & advisory over 15 years in three different business. They have always proved excellent in approach, service and in the quality of insightful and rounded advice. The key differential for me, compared to experiences of similar sized firms, is that they are authentically personable, and always seek to understand a holistic view of the clients' needs.
You are not passed from one department to another - it is always joined up, through key contacts who all seek to know and understand your business over the long term. They have dealt with very challenging audits and complex international tax matters, and always worked with me in tough circumstances to find practical and effective solutions. They are a great team, and very trusted business advisors.

HW Fisher have been our auditor and accountant since we started trading, many years ago. They have an excellent audit department. Our audit partner, David Selwyn, expertly leads his team of, well trained staff. The firm provides a wide range of services and has always been able to advice us, whichever direction our business has taken. We would have no hesitation in recommending them.

An excellent firm of accountants, with commercial accountants giving expert advice. I work closely with Ross Fabian and he is always at the end of the phone as a sounding board to make sure entrepreneurial decisions are made in the best structure and with a view to the future. Highly recommended.
