Hear what our clients have to say about us

Finelight Media Limited – part of Finelight Media Group

"We approached Larking Gowen to assist us with converting the companies within our group from Business Central to Xero. One of our main objectives was to minimise the manual transactional work we were completing, with a key goal being to link our CRM platform to Xero to enable auto generation of sales invoices. 

Quite a few areas in this project were niche to us as a business, but Scott fully immersed himself into our business model and undertook research to find suitable options for us. He provided full training and support all through the transfer process, so that from our perspective it was smooth and straightforward, with Scott working busily in the background! He has got to know us as a team and as a business, and we always felt a confidence in how knowledgeable he is. Scott has been very approachable, so that we have felt we can come to him with questions however big or small.

Going forward, we now have minimised our transactional work and streamlined our processes, saving our team time to enable us to focus on other key areas. Scott continues to check in with us and provide us with any extra training or key information he thinks will be useful for our team which confirms his investment in the project and its outcomes."

Nathan Doe | Managing Director | John Doe Carpets & Furniture Limited

"We have been working with Larking Gowen for over 25 years and continue to value their reliable and knowledgeable service.  We mainly work with Becky and George and meet with them quarterly to discuss our accounts for the period as well as hearing their guidance and advice which is really helpful for keeping us on the right track throughout the year.

Larking Gowen also handle our monthly payroll for over 70 members of staff and this always runs smoothly. Recently they advised and supported our transition from Sage to Xero. The change has significantly improved our processes, and we’re grateful to Larking Gowen for recommending the move and ensuring a smooth transition.

We would highly recommend Larking Gowen and are grateful for all their support over the years which has been invaluable to our growth as a business."

Richard Smith | Director | Total Milling Solutions

"We have been associated with Larking Gowen since registering the company. Once we met with them, it soon became clear that using their services would be a financial benefit to a new start up business compared to doing our own accounting.

Since then, Larking Gowen have been providing us with services for our ever-expanding business, including payroll, VAT returns, P11d’s, financial statements and corporation tax. They have demonstrated to us that they will endeavour to sort any problem, whether large or small, and always answer the phone with a friendly voice.

In summary, we are now in our second decade of trading, and this is without doubt thanks to the ongoing support and advice from the team at Larking Gowen."

Dr A Danesh MRPharmS PhD | Director | WillowsPharmacy

"I’ve have been running my own business for over 20 years and have been a client of LG for over 12. I feel as though Becky & George are an extended part of my team and will often reach out to them for guidance before making strategic decisions. What I particularly enjoy about my relationship with Becky & George is that I can access them easily and they provide me with expert advice."

Giles Tremayne | Director | GG Lucas Limited

"We’ve used Larking Gowen for our bookkeeping for well over 5 years but they go the extra mile to provide much more than that; and the experience and reach of their services across payroll, Vat, accountancy, etc means that their advice in depth as well as breadth is extremely professional. We cannot recommend them highly enough."

Sally Peck | Director | Apex Roofing (Anglia) Limited

"We’ve had the pleasure of working with Becky Ames and her team for some time now, and their support has been nothing short of exceptional. Becky leads with a calm, capable presence, and it’s clear her team reflects that same professionalism and attention to detail.  They’re always approachable, reliable, and quick to respond, no question ever feels too small.  It’s reassuring to know we have a team we can trust, who genuinely understand our business and are always on hand to offer clear, practical advice."
