Testimonials

“I have been with Breckman and Co for 35 years. My annual pilgrimage to Robert’s office is a highlight. Will I spot something new in his collection of Theatrical curios? Who does the dusting? And in which attic does Robert keep his portrait? Oh, and by the way, I have never had any problems with the Tax man.”

“Having worked with Richard Nelson at Breckman & Company for the last four years, I can honestly say that I truly value our working relationship beyond any other. Richard and his colleagues have been incomparable in terms of their level of professionalism, efficiency, support and guidance, and as my company has grown and evolved he has been there to assist me every step of the way with his experienced insight and knowledge. I think the biggest compliment I can pay to Breckman and Company is that I view them as an integral part of my team; a personal service even though you know you are one of many clients who no doubt all feel exactly the same.”

Mike Steel, Director, Twenty Twenty Ltd

“Paying tax can be fun – if you do it the Breckman way! OK – slight exaggeration, but the personal touch does make a vast difference, and in the twenty or so years (they do the actual counting) I’ve been with Breckman & Company, I have always felt as if I mattered to both Robert and Richard. I know I’m only one of hundreds of clients, but it has never felt like that. Accountants are rather like film music: they should always be there but never intrusive, which is what you are. I particularly appreciate getting an immediate response to any queries I have. And, of course, I have always enjoyed my visits to South Molton Street. Long may you flourish!”

“Breckman and Co have been Newangle Productions ltd’s accountants since we first started the company nearly 20 years ago. They have always been responsive to our financial needs and requests. The advice and guidance has always been timely and accurate and at times I regret not acting on more of it. I have recommended them to more than one of my friends and associates and they have gone on to enjoy a similar quality of service. I look forward to our continued partnership as they continue to make a significant contribution to Newangle growth.”
