What does it mean to do a great job?

We’ve worked with many different companies, people and organisations throughout our time as a firm, each one leaving a lasting impression on us. So, along the way we’ve had some great things said about us too. Hearing about what a good job we’ve done makes it all worthwhile.

The outcome of all of our discussions has actually changed my life – and it’s really not that often one can say such a thing!

Approaching Richard Place Dobson has proved to be one of my more sensible decisions in life. As an IT man I am woefully short on knowledge of all things financial, especially pensions. I knew I had reasonable pensions frozen from previous employment, and I’d been told by people a whole lot more knowledgeable than myself that they were “ok”!

That didn’t tell me what I needed to know, and that was – when could I start to think about an early release from full time working? The reasons are many, but primarily based around my mother’s ailing health. I met Tom Beal and from the start his professional approach, and positive attitude confirmed I’d made a good choice.

The outcome of all of our discussions has actually changed my life – and it’s really not that often one can say such a thing! I now know where I stand, what’s possible and what isn’t, and how I can move forward with my plans. All in all it’s been a very good experience and I will recommend RPD to friends and family.

Highly personable team are very responsive, highly professional, but above all are great communicators.

Richard Place Dobson (RPD) have been the external independent auditors for Chequer Mead Arts and Community Trust CIO for the past three years. During this period we have formed a very close but robust relationship whereby RPD not only undertake a rigorous Charity audit, but also review our business and openly discuss operational matters with a view to giving advice on future options to improve the business efficiency. Their small but highly personable team are very responsive, highly professional, but above all are great communicators and it is this that I feel gives their overall customer service the very top rating I can offer. I have no doubt in making the highest recommendation of RPD to any future clients.

Very good professional help.

I have been well looked after over many years. I especially am grateful to Matthew for his guidance when I ran afoul of the tax inspectors. I found it a very dark stressful experience relieved by some very good professional help. Many thanks to all at RPD, may your business continue to flourish.

– Forbes Calder

A very high level of service.

RPD have been our European based accountants for 8 years and during that time they have provided my company with a very high level of service. I have worked with both Sue and Matthew over this time and there doesn’t seem to be a problem that I present to them that is insurmountable. I run an international business that requires some unique expertise that RPD have had no problem providing. On top of all this RPD have the experience to help out my staff on a regular basis when it comes to problems with payroll, VAT returns and importation of goods. I am based in Australia so I need to have a lot of confidence and trust in my accountants overseas and RPD have exceeded all of my expectation in this area.
