Dave and the team at Perrigo Consultants have been with me since early on in my business journey. Their proactive support and consultancy has helped me grow from an apprehensive entrepreneur to a confident agency owner whose finance and management needs are well covered. Knowing that our Companies House and HRMC reporting requirements are being handled by professionals provides peace of mind, but best of all it allows me to concentrate on looking after my team and clients, and critically to keep an eye on the future.

Dave Perrigo is quite comfortably the best in his industry. Having used several practices before Perrigo Consultants I took the decision to switch after a casual conversation. It’s also important to stress here that I had always felt well served and looked after by all my previous accountants. Very simply, Perrigo Consultants and Dave Perrigo in particular, took being looked after into a different hemisphere. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Having Perrigo in your team enables you to concentrate on earning a living safe in the knowledge that everything else is being taken care of.
