OUR SUCCESS

“We were looking for new auditors and put the work out to tender. We were very impressed with the offer from UNW, and after considering this alongside other applications, chose to appoint UNW as our auditors. From the start I have found UNW to be very professional, competent and efficient in the service provided. The people I have worked with have always been willing to help and provide additional support and guidance when requested beyond the direct audit work, for example employee tax advice. We have been pleased with the discreet, yet thorough, way of working the audit team have and we continue to be more than satisfied with the service UNW provides.”

“The four years running up to the tribunal were extremely stressful for Tyne Valley, and it is a real shame that honest and hard-working businesses such as ours can be subject to such a long, drawn-out process. The costs would have severely limited our growth aspirations. Thankfully, common sense prevailed in the end, and I can’t thank the VAT team at UNW enough for their meticulous and dedicated approach to the tribunal. They were extremely supportive throughout the process, and I would recommend them to anyone else that found themselves in a similar position to ours.”

Partner

I have been a client of the UNW Dental Business Unit for around 10 years and have also found that they have treated me with the utmost respect throughout our journey. They have a real in-depth knowledge of personal tax, as well as business tax and accounting affairs. They have guided my practice both smoothly and efficiently and I believe their reputation throughout the country is second to none, with Alan Suggett’s close association working alongside NHS Pensions and The British Dental Association.
