Having worked with Matt for nearly 20 years, we’ve been delighted with the level of service that we’ve received from him and all the members of the team. They provide straightforward and practical advice on all matters and are able to make complex decisions simple to understand and easy to manage.

Matt has been with us from the beginning of Geolytix. Matt has been a trusted advisor since the early days, explaining everything we needed to know about setting up a new company. As we have grown, he and his colleagues have continued to support, whether that be payroll, R&D grants or setting up subsidiary companies internationally. I especially appreciate that Matt understands when something is urgent and will reply with a solution immediately. James Rose Accountancy’s support has been invaluable, thank you.
