What do our clients say?

“I have had the pleasure of working with the Francis Clark M&A team a number of times and specifically at times when we were undertaking an MBO and an AIM listing. Quite simply they take the grief out of what can be stressful situations by providing a very real understanding of the challenge thereby delivering excellent advice and clear options while they manage the process competently and securely. They are the best that I have worked with.”

“The whole family were very pleased with the teams at PKF Francis Clark in the way they handled the complex negotiations involved, as it was a very good deal for both parties, and, I have to say, we always felt like we were in very safe hands with the whole team of advisors.”

“PKF Francis Clark was there every step to help us through what they made feel like a stress-free deal. Their expertise and professionalism excelled throughout the deal and they carried out a large amount of work behind the scenes enabling us to continue to run a very busy business. It was a pleasure to work with them and I would not hesitate in recommending PKF Francis Clark.”

About us:

We understand our clients’ ambitions because we share them.

But we know that without the right advice and help, an ambition remains just that. A pipe dream. And as far as we’re aware no-one ever handed down a pipe dream to their children, or retired on one.

As the largest firm of chartered accountants and business advisers in the south west, we’ve been helping turn pipe dreams into reality every single day for the last 100 years.
