What Our Clients & Colleagues Say About WHA

Barclays Chris Lee – Relationship Director
Head of Travel – Barclays Corporate
I have known Chris Photi, Senior Partner of White Hart Associates, for seven years and consider him to have excellent knowledge of the technical and regulatory issues which play such an important role in the travel industry. Chris and White Hart Associates would certainly be one of the travel accountants I would recommend to our wide ranging travel client base.

Over the last 3 years of working with WHA, we have relied heavily on advice on some fairly complex issues. They always come up with rock solid advice and have massively contributed to our strategic direction and business success.

 

Alpha Rooms Jamie Shuker – Director
Alpha International Accomodation Limited
Chris Photi  is quite simply the best in the business.  His detailed knowledge and straightforward advice about travel regulatory matters and tax is unsurpassed (and we’ve used all the big four).

 

Walker Dendle Lisa Dendle – Director
Walker Dendle Limited
As a the Managing Director of a fast growth independent professional services recruitment group, I have used the services of White Hart Associates and Partner, Nikki Spoor, in particular since inception in 1999. White Hart has supported us from reviewing and advising on our very first business plan to offering assistance on banking arrangements and pension and tax planning. The hands on, yet very commercial view, of the partners has proved invaluable as the business faced the challenges of working in a highly competitive market through both expanding and recessional markets and we have enjoyed a collaboration of sound financial guidance and practical accounting to suit our every need. The range of accounting and bookkeeping services on offer has allowed Walker Dendle to bring many functions in house whilst also being able to outsource other confidential tasks such as staff payroll. In times of growth Nikki has also been instrumental in working closely with our management team to identify and train key staff and to develop a competitive compensation and benefits package including share option schemes for key employees.

Most importantly the team at White Hart Associates has demonstrated a genuine understanding of our particular business needs and I very much look forward to continuing to work with them as we enter our next exciting period of growth and development.

 

Studio 1 Fitness Mark Palfery – Managing Director
PL@N:IT Computer recruitment LTD And Studio1 Fitness
PlanIT I had been running my I.T recruitment business for 10 years and had two firms of accountants before I was introduced to Nikki at White Hart Associates LLP. I have to be honest and having been let down badly by my last accountant I was not sure if by changing if it would make any difference.

From my very first meeting I was totally shocked, instantly I noticed a far more proactive approach, someone actually took control of my accounts and I no longer had to ask questions, everything was taken off me and dealt with immediately. I felt I had a new partner in business, someone that took the time to look at what we do, listen to what I wanted and then gave me expert advice in a manner in which I could understand. Be it management accounts, mergers, acquisitions, HMRC liaison or even payroll they have taken care of everything and with one thing at the forefront and that is the well being of my business and maximising the hard work that I put in.

White Hart Associates LLP are now my accountants for both my companies and also look after all my personal tax affairs, I have been so pleased I have recommended them to several of my colleagues and despite numerous sales calls from other accounting firms I know when I have found the right partner in business and would never change.

 

Holden Pearmain David Rudd – Finance Director
Holden Pearmain Research
I started working with White Hart Associates LLP after a personal recommendation. We had been looking for new accountants after an unhappy relationship with one of the big 4. We needed a company that was proactive rather than reactive which had been our experience in the past. We were at first nervous to take on a smaller company, but their drive and good advice showed us that they were a company ahead of the game, in accountancy terms. I worked with them in the IT industry for 5-6 years and then I changed jobs. The highest recommendation I can give is, that we wanted to appointment them as our accountants and my new directors agreed, by the next audit they were on board. I am now in the Market Research industry and their adaptability as accountants has been awe inspiring, they never let us down with any problem or questions we may have. They are the company to help take our business to the next level, I would happily recommend then to anyone.

 

Finlay Brewer Simon Gresswell – Director
Finlay Brewer Estate Agents
Finlay Brewer have been working with White Hart Associates LLP for 8 years. WHA, and in particular our allocated partner, Mark Caldicott, have given us an excellent level of care, support and professionalism. Their attitude is positive and proactive, keeping us up to date with day to day tax and legal issues as well as tax planning and business strategy planning. As well as supporting the business WHA have supported my partners and I with our personal accountancy needs with similar levels of service. The partners and staff are always contactable and are happy to discuss the smallest issue. I would recommend them to any prospective client.

Spy Publishing Limited Craig Kromberg – Financial Controller
Mr & Mrs Smith Boutique & Luxury Hotel Specialists – (Spy Publishing Limited)

Turquoise Holidays Brian Barton – Managing Director
The Turquoise Holiday Company Ltd
I have been using the professional services of White Hart Associates, and more specifically those of Mr Chris Photi, for over 15 years. They have been an invaluable source of advice to me in this time from not only the selling of one business and the start up of another but also the invaluable help in negotiating the labrythine rules and regulations that come as part of the renewal process of an ATOL license as well as outlining the most efficent funding solutions. They have reliably completed all payroll services, innumerable year- end audits and many personal tax returns all with unfailing sensible and no nonsense counsel. I cannot recommend them too highly.
