Reviews from the finance teams we work with

★★★★★

Accruveo rebuilt our IFRS 16 lease schedules and stood behind every judgement in front of the auditors. Everything tied back, and we signed off without a single adjustment.

★★★★★

They answer in hours, not weeks. Our month end close went from twelve days to five, and the board pack finally reads like a board pack.

★★★★★

We brought them in to stand up internal audit ahead of an expansion. The plan was practical, the reporting was clear, and the follow up actually happened. They are now our first call on anything technical.

★★★★★

They kept the fee fixed even when the scope grew slightly.

★★★★★

They were upfront about timelines from the start and stuck to them.

★★★★★

Impairment testing on a couple of underperforming units needed an independent, defensible view for the board. The work was thorough, the conclusions were clearly explained, and they were upfront about the areas of judgement involved rather than presenting false certainty. Good, honest work.

★★★★★

Delegation of authority policy needed a full rewrite as our business had grown well past what the old document covered. They handled it properly, spoke to the right people, and produced something the board actually approved without major changes. Efficient process.

★★★★★

Excellent turnaround time.

★★★★★

Their input on our sukuk structure was clear and well explained.

★★★★★

Very patient with our questions.

★★★★☆

Delegation of authority review was useful overall. The first meeting ran quite long and could have been better structured, but the output was good.

★★★★★

Very good knowledge of IFRS 16 and IFRS 9. Explained things clearly to our team who are not all finance background. Delivery was on schedule and communication was good throughout. We will use them again for next year's reporting.

★★★★★

Sound, sensible advice.

★★★★★

Very responsive to our audit committee's questions.

★★★★★

Honestly one of the smoother advisory engagements we have had.

★★★★☆

Solid valuation report overall. One assumption had to be revisited after the board queried it, which added a short delay before sign off.

★★★★★

Our policy manual had not been touched in a decade and it showed. They rewrote it properly, kept the language plain enough that staff would actually read it, and built in a review cycle so it does not get forgotten again. Sensible approach throughout.

★★★★☆

Policy manual review was thorough, though the turnaround was a touch slower than promised due to a change in scope partway through.

★★★★★

We needed help translating our risk register into something our non executive directors could engage with properly, rather than a long technical document nobody outside finance really read. The revised version is shorter, clearer, and genuinely gets discussed at board level now.

★★★★★

They were clear about what they could and could not help with.

★★★★★

Good communication with our board throughout a sensitive project.

★★★★☆

Valuation work was well reasoned, though the report formatting needed some cleaning up before it was board ready.

★★★★☆

Board found the delegation of authority policy useful, though the draft needed a second pass to properly reflect how sign offs actually work in our business.

★★★★★

They gave clear, actionable recommendations rather than a long list of issues.

★★★★★

Very professional, very organised, would use again.

★★★★★

They took the time to explain things properly to our non finance staff.

★★★★★

Very knowledgeable on AAOIFI and how it interacts with our reporting.

★★★★★

Their advice on ISSB disclosures was practical and well timed.

★★★★★

Professional to the last detail.

★★★★☆

ISSB gap assessment was useful and well explained, though we would have liked a bit more detail in the written recommendations rather than the verbal summary.

★★★★★

They took ownership of the ICFR matrix rather than just advising from the sidelines.

★★★★★

Good communication with our audit committee chair throughout.

★★★★★

The month end close process is now two days faster than it used to be.

★★★★★

Good experience overall with our valuation work. The team took time to understand our business rather than just running standard formulas. Report was ready when promised and held up fine when the board asked questions. Would recommend to other family businesses in a similar position.

★★★★☆

Internal audit findings were clear and fair, but the report itself needed tightening up before it was ready to go to the audit committee.

★★★★☆

Policy manual came out well, though it took longer to finalise than planned because of several rounds of internal sign off on our side as much as theirs.

★★★★★

Good depth of knowledge across IFRS and governance matters.

★★★★★

Excellent work on impairment testing.

★★★★☆

Board pack redesign was well received, but the first draft needed a fair bit of revision before it landed properly. Second version was exactly what we wanted.

★★★★★

Good communication throughout, even during a busy reporting period.

★★★★★

They know IFRS 15 inside out.

★★★★☆

Good work overall on the lease register, though a handful of properties were missed in the first pass and had to be added later.

★★★★☆

IFRS 15 position paper was solid, but we had to push a little to get the final version prioritised during a busy period for them.

★★★★★

Good, plain English reporting.

★★★★★

Preparing our policy manual felt like a low priority until our bank asked to see it during a refinancing. They turned it around quickly, covering the areas that mattered most, and were flexible when we needed changes at short notice. A genuinely responsive team throughout.

★★★★☆

Good support with our 13 week cash forecast. The first version was overly complex for our size but they simplified it quickly once we raised it.

★★★★★

Delivered a clean policy manual.

★★★★☆

Good support overall with our IFRS 16 lease calculations, though a couple of contract terms were initially misread and had to be corrected.

★★★★☆

Internal audit plan took about a week longer than originally quoted, mostly due to scheduling on both sides. The quality of the final plan made up for the delay.

★★★★☆

Decent work on our 13 week cash forecast model, though the first version needed simplifying since it was more detailed than our board actually wanted.

★★★★★

Sorted our board pack in good time.

★★★★★

Their work on our risk register gave the board a much clearer picture.

★★★★☆

Month end close review delivered real improvements, though it took a couple of iterations to get the new process fully bedded in with our team.

★★★★★

Answered every question clearly.

★★★★☆

Good experience with our governance review, aside from a slight delay in the final report landing about a week later than the agreed date.

★★★★★

Would happily recommend.

★★★★★

Very good knowledge of IFRS across the board.

★★★★☆

Internal audit plan was well constructed, though we had hoped for a slightly faster start given the timeline pressure we were under at the time.

★★★★★

Good communication, no fuss.

★★★★★

Good people to have in the room during a difficult board discussion.

★★★★☆

Solid work on our sukuk reporting requirements. A couple of email responses took a day or two longer than we would have liked during a busy period.

★★★★★

Good technical support on our IFRS 15 contract reviews.

★★★★★

Did exactly what was asked.

★★★★★

Really pleased with how the risk register came together. It is something we had been putting off for a long time.

★★★★★

The virtual CFO support kept us on track during a difficult quarter.

★★★★★

Smooth process from the start.

★★★★★

They helped our finance team build confidence in the new reporting process.

★★★★★

Fixed fee, clear scope, no surprises along the way.

★★★★☆

Good work on our IFRS 16 transition overall, though the initial scoping call ran longer than it needed to. Once underway things moved quickly and the end result was solid.

★★★★★

Diligent and precise.

★★★★★

Coming into year end we were behind on our ICFR documentation and the external auditors were asking difficult questions. They came in, mapped our key controls within a few weeks, and worked closely with our internal team so the knowledge stayed with us afterwards. The matrix they produced is now part of our standard reporting cycle. A genuinely useful engagement.

★★★★★

Very professional support during a difficult period for the business.

★★★★★

13 week cash forecast support came during a genuinely stressful period for the business and they were calm and clear throughout, which mattered as much as the technical work itself. The forecast gave our lenders confidence at a time we badly needed it.

★★★★★

Reliable people, always did what they said they would do by when they said.

★★★★★

Solid, dependable work.

★★★★☆

Very good on our ICFR matrix, though a couple of process walkthroughs had to be rebooked which slowed things down. Overall pleased with the outcome.

★★★★★

Well worth the fee.

★★★★☆

Risk register update was thorough. Scheduling the department workshops took longer than expected because of availability on our end, which pushed the timeline out.

★★★★★

Straightforward people to work with.

★★★★☆

Risk register work was good quality, if a touch slower getting off the ground than we would have liked given other pressures that quarter.

★★★★☆

Good technical support on impairment testing. The scoping call ran quite long and could have been tighter, but the actual delivery was efficient.

★★★★★

Delivered exactly what we needed.

★★★★★

Their approach to governance was practical rather than box ticking.

★★★★★

Our sukuk structure needed reporting support that understood both IFRS and AAOIFI requirements together, which is a narrower skill set than we expected. They had it, explained the interaction between the two frameworks clearly, and the disclosures went through review without major changes.

★★★★☆

Good, steady support with our internal audit plan. The kickoff took a week longer than planned but the delivery itself was on schedule after that.

★★★★☆

Impairment testing was handled competently, though the initial model needed some adjustment once we clarified a few assumptions that had been missed early on.

★★★★★

They delivered the policy manual ahead of schedule.
