Accountant Prakash Jariwala , did not make contact. Someone else sent me an e-mail which was stuck in my junk mail. That person said they had called me, if they did no message was left. Bit of shambles I'd say!!!

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an accountant?

My father passed away and left a complicated estate.

How has Prakash Jariwala helped you?

Prakash took our file, and after thoroughly reviewing it, set out very clearly a series of hypothetical options that were available to us and then guided us through each one and carefully managed a difficult and complicated situation with a view to long term financial stability and security. He also advised on some investments and company restructuring. Prakash is one of the most professional and dedicated people I have come across. He views his client's financial affairs with an empathy that makes one feel it is as if he is handling his own financial affairs. I could not speak more highly of him.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Our current situation is that all the complicated tax issues we had have been resolved as well as some restructuring which has made company and personal finances more efficient. I have the best possible outcome, given the situation, that I could have hoped for.

What could they have done better?

Very little more could have been done.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an accountant?

Our previous accountants were acquired by Sterling (am not sure if it was merger or acquisition) We are very pleased that this happened because Sterling has proved to be very professional for small to medium size of businesses.

How has Prakash Jariwala helped you?

We have been with Sterling for over 14 years and have found them to be very professional in their work and are always there when we need them. Always happy to deal with Sterling.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Before Sterling took over our accounts, we had to keep track of dates when our accounts (For various Companies) were due for filing at HMRC and Companies House and on occasions we missed the dead line and ended up paying fines. Since Sterling took over our accounts, they make sure the Accounts are prepared well in time and filed before due dates. We are very happy with the service we get . With Sterling not only Prakash is only a phone call away but the same applies to their other senior staff.

What could they have done better?

Really lost for words on this one. Can't think of anything. They are always there for us .

The most useful services for us has been the consultancy element enabling our business to adapt and grow taking into account an evolving market place, an unfavorable economy and the entry of the next generation. This coupled with a highly competent and efficient accounting leads me to highly recommend Prakash and all members at Sterling CA.
