“They have guided me on how to use software that I felt was very hard to use but is now so straightforward.
“They have also helped me understand more about the money side of my business. I would highly recommend them.”

“Matt and the Moore Thompson team offer an excellent, fully comprehensive service for all accounting requirements. Since moving to Moore Thompson I have received a personalised, detailed review of my tax affairs and the advice provided has been outstanding. Queries are always handled in a timely manner with staff being friendly and conscientious. I would highly recommend Matt and the team to anyone looking for an experienced accountant at a very reasonable price”

“Matthew and his team produced a detailed analysis report on a set of management accounts for me recently. They worked with very sensitive information professionally and to a high standard, providing me with in-depth knowledge of what I had asked them to look into. I required a quick turn around on the report and they worked to fit into my timescale, they responded quickly and kept me up to date with how the work was going. I would recommend Matthew and his team with their high standard of work and professionalism.”
Jo Burke

“Moore Thompson is a wonderful Company, he sees his relationship with us as a partnership and we are very kind people, also thankful for how kind whilst asking for overdue payments.”
Fred Dunn
“Having called into Moore Thompson’s office to sign off my annual accounts, I ended up in conversation with Partner, Heather Bright.
I mentioned to her that our company might need to change our heating system and Heather asked me if I had considered looking into the availability of potential grants to help me fund this.
Grant Services Manager, Janet Brown, got in touch with me and was able to advise me that there was, indeed, a suitable scheme.
This has resulted in a grant-funded energy review of our premises and the opportunity to apply for funding to support any measures we wish to implement.
Had Heather not been so proactive in first mentioning the possibility of grant funding, I would never have known about this potential opportunity.
I am very pleased with the service I have received from everyone at Moore Thompson and, in particular, Heather and Janet’s expertise and support.”
Derek Richardson
Director of Andrews & Co, timber, DIY and hardware retailer, Spalding

I look forward to the future success of the business and to our continued, very positive working relationship.
I must also add my personal thanks to Jodie North, who has worked tirelessly to support me in my first year. Jodie has been extremely helpful and constructive and professional in her approach, and the actual support she has provided to me and WFF Peterborough.”

“I am writing to you personally to congratulate you and your team on being named one of the UK’s top 100 accountancy firms on the 50 + 50 list, which is put together annually by Accountancy Age. What a wonderful achievement, you deserve to be extremely proud. Please pass on my congratulations to everyone involved.”
The Rt Hon John Hayes CBE, MP South Holland and the Deepings
“I recently visited Mark to discuss using his services for my company.
Within minutes, he asked a few questions and did some quick research and then made me aware of some issues that needed dealing with as a matter of’ urgency.
His prescribed diagnosis and recommended course of action, that I followed, saved me potential costs of around 1,000.
I am grateful for his knowledge and honesty in dealing with this situation and preventing further potential issues and costs.
I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to anybody else.”
‘Always look on the BRIGHT side of life.’
Julian Bright, Bright Insight Ltd.
“It was great to meet you and I left very impressed with your knowledge on auto enrolment and NEST and how you/Moore Thompson have embraced auto enrolment and been proactive in developing a really good service for clients. Your view chimes with ours that most employers will want their accountant/payroll provider to help them comply with auto enrolment and set up and run NEST. I think you’ve got the right proposition at the right price. As you know, in NEST you have access to a high quality, government linked, pension scheme that will remain available to all of your clients, throughout the ‘staging’ time period.
It was great to hear that your proactive stance on auto enrolment is already helping Moore Thompson to attract new payroll clients, as well as increase revenues from existing clients. I’m sure this will continue. If you would like NEST input to any of your marketing events or communications or to be one of our case studies do let me know.”
Graham Davey, NEST Corporation

I appreciate the flexibility your people have demonstrated and the support they have offered to me to get my business off the ground. I look forward to working with you through into the next tax year and hopefully beyond.”
Samuel Lewis, Wincor Nixdorf International GmbH
“Craig has been a fellow member of a business club I have been regularly attending for nearly 3 years. There are many more memorable professions than Accountants, however Craig’s depth of knowledge, memorable stories and succinct descriptions of how a simple piece of advice from his company, can save Tens of Thousands of pound, certainly get my attention.
In my experience, many accountants struggle to translate the vast knowledge they have, into useful and actionable advice and planning for the business owner.
With Craig Reid, this could not be further from the truth! A very impressive, genuinely warm and likeable person who has destroyed my stereotypes of accountants for good!”
Kevin Mclvor
“I wanted to thank you in writing for the amazing way you helped me to sort out the problems caused by my previous accountant.
With only a few days to go before the April tax deadline you gave me the guidance I needed and took on the work I didn’t have the time or knowledge to tackle. Only through your efforts was the deadline achieved.
I will certainly recommend your services to others, confident that you will give them sound advice and save them unnecessary stress.”

Paul Johnson has a straightforward reason for why his firm has been a Moore Thompson client for three decades: “If something works for you, why would you want to change it?”
Moore Thompson’s Mark Hildred has been advising Holbeach-based Terry Johnson Ltd since Paul’s father Terry set up the business in 1986 and has seen some significant developments in that time.
While the firm’s workforce has remained at around 20 since it was founded, the firm’s client base has steadily grown and now includes businesses across the UK as well as in Europe and Australia. In 1993, the company bought another local company, Swift Lift, and under that name manufactures a range of agricultural and industrial elevators and conveyors along with the Todd sugar beet cleaner loaders
It also carries out sub-contract manufacturing work, including guillotining, drilling, sawing, welding, painting and final fitting, and deals in second-hand machinery.
With plenty going on in the business, Paul, now the firm’s sales director, appreciates the way that Mark and the wider Moore Thompson team “are always at the end of the phone”, particularly when there’s a query or problem.
Moore Thompson also provides year-round support with services including payroll, year-end accounts and looking after the directors’ pensions and Paul expects the firm to become involved in auto-enrolment implementation at Terry Johnson.
Alongside that ongoing support, Moore Thompson also steps in to provide advice on specific or one-off issues. For example, at one point Terry Johnson’s previous bank sought to reduce the company’s overdraft facility, which would have had serious implications for the business, but Moore Thompson provided financial data that led the bank to rethink.
It’s that kind of service that leads Paul to say: “We cannot fault Moore Thompson – they are always there when we need them with good sound advice and the skills to back the advice up.”
Paul Johnson, Terry Johnson Ltd
Trust is a factor that shouldn’t be underestimated in any relationship, especially the one between a business and its accountancy firm. This is particularly true when the relationship is as longstanding as the one between AbbeyPrint Limited and Moore Thompson, which began more than 30 years ago.
In that time, AbbeyPrint Limited has grown to become one of the largest colour lithographic printing companies in South Lincolnshire, as well as the area’s leading independent supplier of office products, business machines, office furniture and computer consumables.
The team at Moore Thompson have always been on hand to provide advice, which means they know the company inside out.
“That is a major benefit,” says managing director Helen Slinger. “I trust Moore Thompson as we have worked with them for so many years.”
In addition to handling the end of year accounts, Moore Thompson helped every step of the way during a management takeover, advising on issues such as shareholder agreements.
The accountants also assisted when AbbeyPrint Limited purchased the adjoining premises – advising on the tax implications and the best way to do it – and through the recession, by looking at ways the printing company could promote its products and improve its profitability.
“If we have any queries from the financial side, Moore Thompson is always our first port of call,” says Helen Slinger.
“I would not hesitate to recommend Moore Thompson to a new customer who was in need of an accountant, as we have always got on well with them and they have done well by us.”
Helen Slinger, AbbeyPrint Limited
“I would just like to thank you and your team for the professional and efficient way you helped bring Stan’s tax affairs up to date.
In the future, when I come across people who are in need of an accountant or tax advisor, I will definitely point them in your direction.”
John
“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for the efficiency with which our payroll service is being run. I believe this has been of benefit to the company and was instrumental in regaining a valued member of staff. The ‘large’ garage franchise he left me to join last year were unable to pay him on time and correctly work out the overtime owed on many occasions.
Again, my thanks for your excellence in this. ”
