Background

“The Bishop Fleming team, led by Steve Patey and Dan Phillips, ran a first-rate audit process for Mescia Group. Auditing a complex first year following a change of ownership and two significant transactions, the audit team worked incredibly well with Mecsia to land the signed accounts within four months. The team were pragmatic and worked with us to cover the more complex areas of the audit in a collaborative way. They were always ready to jump on a call, solve any issues as they arose, and ensure the process ran as smoothly as possible.”

Darren Milne, CFO, Mescia Group

“Steve, Dan and the whole Bishop Fleming team have served us extremely well. Our expanding PE-backed group has provided fieldwork challenges alongside a need for deep technical expertise. Our audits and additional requests have been managed smoothly, and we have been delighted with the professionalism and support we have received.”

Jon Coiley, CEO, Chillaton Group
