Background

“I am delighted to be listed in the OMB 100 rankings and have made the Top 40 this year. Our growth is truly a testament to the focus we put on providing excellent customer service. We have been with Bishop Fleming for several years now and they came highly recommended. We have found them to be highly professional, knowledgeable, and very attentive to our needs, with timely and accurate advice and an efficient audit and tax service. They have a wide spectrum of specialisms and genuinely act as a true partner to the business and add value to support our business goals.”

Owner and Managing Director, Kevin Murray, Murray VW Group

“We moved to Bishop Fleming in 2018, seeking a larger, well-respected accountancy firm, and they came highly recommended. Since then, they've guided us through restructuring, relocating, and building our current facility, always providing exceptional advice under Dan White's leadership. Olivia Mears handles our day-to-day matters with professionalism, and other departments have supported us on specific accounting and tax issues. Across the board, their team demonstrates decency, honesty, and a personable approach, making them a pleasure to work with.”

Nathan Hopper, Simply Kitchens UK Ltd

They have also been attentive to our needs, providing timely and accurate advice and efficient audit and tax service. They partner with us to support our business goals and build a long-term relationship that is based on openness and honesty. I am very pleased with the consistently professional service we get from working with their team and would definitely recommend their services.”
