Testimonial

“PEM have acted as auditors and tax advisors to Metalysis since its incorporation in October 2001. During this time the company has grown from one part-time director in borrowed offices to in excess of 40 employees, over two sites in the UK. The company has now recently expanded overseas. PEM has provided the company with an excellent service for statutory and grant audits and has prepared and submitted R&D tax credits, corporation tax and other statutory returns on behalf of the company. Furthermore, they have provided an excellent payroll service, all at extremely reasonable rates. I would have no hesitation in recommending PEM to any young company requiring a firm of accountants that can provide both a highly professional and personal service without incurring the high fees of the larger firms. In my opinion they are an ideal partner for early-stage companies. ”
