What our clients say
David Craven, Chairman of Fylde Rugby Community Foundation, Lytham, Lancashire
“We have worked with Brown & Co to develop a suite of Management Information reports that are really helpful. They are professional and proactive and have come up with suggestions around VAT payments, making payroll more efficient, as well as taking away a lot of day-to-day tasks – such as all the bookkeeping, wages, PAYE, and all the compliance.
“We have worked closely with Chris Brown and Melissa Farrington at Brown & Co and the way they work means our Director Phill Mills and myself can focus on driving the charity forward.
“They are very efficient and very proactive. I have recommended them to many other businesses and organisations.”
Michael Guy, Chief Executive of Heritage Trust for the North West
“From the moment Brown & Co got involved, they wanted to understand us and what we do – not be at arms’ length. Both Chris and Jake have been to site multiple times and they actively want to know what our ambitions are, what our challenges are, and how they can work with us to help us.
“The transition to Xero was a challenge – but they supported us through it. Now we have monthly accounts, where we can see exactly where we are making money and where we are not – and so we are able to forecast more accurately, which helps us predict the future with increased certainty,
“It is a good relationship. I feel like they are business partners – rather than accountants. They are with us to support us.”
Shaun Bennett, Managing Director, Links Signs and Graphics, Blackpool, Lancashire
“Brown & Co have a very refreshing approach, very dynamic, modern approach, utilising digital systems. They have given us excellent advice on us using Xero.
“There’s interaction, communication, we work together. It feels like a partnership and that they are on our side. Their help and support allows us to get on with what we are here for which is making signs and graphics.”
Ilmars Kankis, Managing Director, Selling Dream, Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire

“Chris, Jake and the team at Brown & Co are like an advice bureau – they help with anything – always on the phone always helping and going the extra mile.
“They are amazing. The relationship is more like a business partnership. They have a lot of contacts in many fields, and whatever I need they are able to help me.
