Testimonials

‘At Mama Cocoon we've certainly benefited from Glenton Smiths expertise. They have combined their technical knowledge and grasp of our business to great effect, providing us with the information we need to make the right business decisions.’

Ruth Peters, Mama Cocoon

 

‘Sophie and Alice were a life saver when we sold our business in June. We couldn't have done the deal without their diligence, commitment, knowledge and advice! We are very aware of all the hours they worked to help us sell our business and can highly recommend them for anyone looking to sell their business or thinking of gearing up their business towards a sale. Personally I would not dream of using any other accountancy firm ever and have recommended Glenton Smith to all my friends.’
