I have worked with Richard for several years and invited him to provide accountancy services to a brand new venture. The engagement proved complicated. We had a change of accounting system, imminent reporting requirements, staff changes and, finally, my own absence due to illness during this critical period. Richard and the Nicholsons team worked superbly throughout, enabling us to meet our statutory requirements, train new staff and smoothly introduce new systems. It was an exceptional effort from a team that give me the utmost confidence.
