OUR SUCCESS

“At Big Solar, we are working to develop disruptive energy generation and storage technologies. As a small start-up organisation, our resources are limited and we identified a need for financial modelling support and expertise. UNW were appointed to help management prepare a financial model and projected manufacturing/scale-up cost card. This work was undertaken at short notice and with a high degree of professionalism resulting in an excellent final product which is utilised widely in the business. They quickly got to grasp with some complex technical matters and worked extremely well with the Big Solar team and I would recommend his services to others.”

“At Age UK Northumberland, a senior finance role became vacant and after an initial search for an appropriate recruitment agency a trusted colleague recommended UNW strategic Talent service as a potential partner. UNW Strategic Talent was chosen from a number of potential agencies as the front-runner based on their expertise in sourcing suitably qualified and experienced finance professionals. Upon review, their proposal was accepted and was fully delivered within the desired timeframe. The successfully appointed candidate has been in post since January 2018 and has all the skills, knowledge and experience that we were looking for.”

“As well as screening the latest film releases and hosting many events, we also offer free community space to local groups and run successful education projects and training schemes. The corporate finance team at UNW, who were instrumental in helping us to secure the funding, is incredibly passionate about the project we are undertaking, and we look forward to working with their incredibly varied service offering in the coming months and years.”

Managing Director

“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.”
