    Peter Amison (Head of Finance)

    We have used Citrus Group since the early days of establishing our business (6 years) for Audit, Payroll Processing, Taxation and Business Advice and have always found their advice to be responsive and commercial. As well as being professional, the team at Citrus Group are very down to earth, friendly and approachable so you never shy away from picking up the phone to ask for some quick advice - but this doesn’t detract from their ability to grasp complex matters quickly, even under pressurised situations and to deliver sensible pragmatic advice.

      Carl Butterfield (Office Manager)

      Edmonds Accounting Services Ltd

      Thank you for the assistance provided particularly in relation to the transition from UK GAAP to FRS102 and for enabling us to submit the accounts within the prescribed time frame. As discussed during our work, the rationale behind much of the transition adjustments was unclear and your assistance, which we are aware was often provided outside normal office hours, proved invaluable and was very much appreciated.

        Citrus Group have audited Cross Rhythms charitable accounts for the last 6 years. Their work is of a high standard. They are both professional and friendly in their approach. I’ve also found their fees to be very reasonable.
