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

“Working with Steve and Molly on this year’s audit has been a very positive experience. They were not only thorough and professional, but also approachable and easy to work with. Questions and queries were answered in a timely manner and we were really grateful for an audit team that had sound industry specific knowledge which aided the audit process. They made what can be a stressful process feel straightforward and manageable.”

Gavin Reeves, Finance Manager, South West Care Homes

“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
