See how Grunberg knowledgeable, friendly team has helped clients succeed.
We know that great relationships lead to great results.
Our clients don’t just value our knowledge and proactive advice, they appreciate our friendly, down-to-earth and innovative approach.
Here’s what some of them have to say about working with our team.
“Grunberg handle all of our accounting needs and when they initially came in to support us, they were quick to rectify all the mistakes our previous accountants had made,” said Lin.
“Since then, they have been providing ongoing business advisory and strategy. In fact, we have been so impressed with their services that we recently moved our payroll functions to them.”
“From the very beginning, Alain was very assertive and set about assisting us straight away with our tax affairs, which allowed us to achieve a rebate that helped us continue trading during a difficult period.
“His approach remains the same today. When you are with him and other members of the Grunberg team, the focus is always on you and your business.
“We like that Alain treats our problems or opportunities as his own. It’s like he takes ownership of the business during the time he is working with you and treats everything as if it was his own company.
Good Business Ltd began in 1996 and we have grown to become an international boutique consultancy, working with businesses and foundations around the world. Grunberg have been with us from day one and have always been by our side to provide practical, personable advice. Alain and his team helped us to establish the business and associated businesses and it has always felt like he wants to work with us to help us to succeed rather simply sell their services. They continue to provide a wide range of services to our firm, pretty much everything beyond bookkeeping, including advice on personal tax planning. As with any business we have had some issues, but Alain and Grunberg have always been helpful and there to help us when we needed it. What is great is that they always have the answer no matter the question and if they can’t provide the solution themselves, they know someone that can. What’s more, the quality of advice provided is second to none. What I think we get is high quality ‘Big Four’ advice in a personalised, caring way. The ‘Big Four’ just don’t take the time to understand you, but Alain feels like a part of our team and is just as able to do the big stuff, but in a much more personalised way.”

Golden Goose launched in 2003, and we are the only consumer PR agency to win a Cannes Gold Lion for media relations, and possibly the only one to be awarded Best International PR campaign two years in a row by the PRCA, in spite of our size. We are a small team that is made up of senior consultants who are among the most experienced in the industry. We first started working with Grunberg in 2005, following a recommendation from a contact that had used them. The initial meeting with Alain Stechler made us feel like we could not be in safer hands and our first impressions have since been confirmed by the excellent services provided to us. Grunberg handle our entire bookkeeping, payroll, personal and business requirements. In the past, they have also provided advice at times that I have considered a sale or merger, but every time I have always preferred to maintain 100% ownership of the business. I bought my business partner out in 2011, and Grunberg was extremely helpful to both of us in terms of advice and consultancy. If I ever decided that I wanted to bring in a new partner, or consider a merger or sale my first contact would be Grunberg, but right now, everything is running exactly as I want it to for the foreseeable future. Our working relationship with Alain and the rest of the team is very positive. They always find solutions and Alain has become more of a friend over the years and is one of the few people I trust implicitly in matters of business. My day-to-day accountant, Sharon, is also always helpful. What stands out about Grunberg is the hands-on approach of the partners. Even though we are not one of the biggest clients on their books, we know they are always there to help. I have learned a lot about how to run and grow my business from Grunberg without having to leap into a sale or a merger. I have also had introductions to businesses from Grunberg, who may use our services in the future. I have been more than happy to recommend them in the past and I will continue to recommend them in future based upon the excellent support they provide.”

As the business of Peter East Associates has grown, we have used more of the services that are available from Grunberg. The Grunberg payroll service removes a monthly administrative burden and has saved us a lot of time. The tax department has helped us navigate through the complexities of Corporation Tax, and we have also used the tax department for shareholder related issues. The difference with Grunberg is that the partners understand their clients’ businesses – this makes the advice focused on the issues facing small and medium-sized businesses.”

Grunberg. have looked after my personal and corporate tax affairs for over ten years.

Grunberg have been offering me advice for nearly 30 years. This relationship began when I was a sole trader at my dining room table and has continued to the present day. It now involves Grunberg team helping James Glancy Design, a limited company employing 25 people. It has always been the most enjoyable association………. if you ignore the dodgy jokes!”

While many businesses of our size tend to select the audit services of the Big Four, we felt that Grunberg had a far more personal and consistent approach to offer.”

I have run my business for nearly 20 years and annoyingly I only came across Robert Bean and Grunberg after 18 of them had passed ! I had reached a point in business where there was very little to be excited about but Robert and his team have helped me turn things around and given me the desire, guidance and oversight to carry on. I cannot recommend them highly enough and I cannot put into words how grateful I am for all of their help, expertise, guidance and knowledge. Thank you Robert and Team”

Grunberg is a highly skilled and respected chartered accountancy firm. I have been with Grunberg for a quarter of a century and I think to sustain a strong working relationship for that time says an awful lot about them. During the pandemic, the firm’s strengths and support really had a chance to shine. The team were exemplary. Throughout this challenging period, the way they were accessible, kind and empathic, helped me find my way through the maze of uncertainty and confusion, which in turn helped me to keep my business buoyant.”

We worked with Grunberg for many years and always found their breadth and depth of knowledge reassuring and extremely helpful. The team at Grunberg provided us with advice and support throughout the year, as well as preparation of our annual accounts. When it came to our business sale they guided us both professionally and personally through the rocky path to a successful outcome. We had amazing support, with many phone calls handled so patiently and knowledgably. It was good to know they always had our backs and were looking out for our interests at every stage.”

It is with pleasure I write this testimonial for Grunberg and more particularly Alexander Kossoff and his team. Sufficive to say they have an extensive knowledge of their field but for me their willingness to help beyond the call of duty has been paramount. Couldn’t recommend the firm highly enough and moreover Alex is a pleasure to work with.”

Lin Li-Williams is the founder of Sirkka Health – a trusted private healthcare provider – whose mission is to provide affordable, accurate diagnostic tests and rapid referrals to world-class specialists via a proprietary digital platform.
This innovative and fast-growing business provides a number of unique health screening services, that rely on the latest testing and diagnostic techniques.
Since its founding, the business has continued to expand its services and grow successfully under Lin’s expert guidance and with the support of her accountants, Grunberg.
She said: “I wasn’t satisfied with the service that my previous accountant provided to me and so I started to explore alternative firms who could meet my needs and support my ambitions.
“Grunberg was recommended to me by a mutual contact and when I first met with Alexander Kossoff and the rest of the team, I could see that they were very professional and proactive.”
Lin said that it was important to have confidence and trust in the ability of her accountants and she was impressed that Grunberg could “understand my problems and plan ahead”.
“Grunberg handle all of our accounting needs and when they initially came in to support us, they were quick to rectify all the mistakes our previous accountants had made,” said Lin.
“Since then, they have been providing ongoing business advisory and strategy. In fact, we have been so impressed with their services that we recently moved our payroll functions to them.”
Lin added: “I love how responsive the entire team is and they are good listeners and provide professional advice. During my whole career, I haven’t met many firms that can deliver a service that is quite as effective.
“Having Grunberg as my accountants I know I don’t need to worry. As an SME we have so many things going on but I know I have the confidence that the team will just get things done, accurately and reliably.”
Lin said that she had used to work with many of the Big Four firms, where she got the same high level of service, but for a far greater cost.
“Quality comes with a price, but Grunberg’s services are great value for money. I have continued to be impressed with the consistency of the service I receive and I am sure others would enjoy the same experience that I have.”

Jonathan Foreman, Managing Director of Observatory Opticians, has been working with Grunberg for more than three decades and has benefitted from the close support and advice of Partner Alain Stechler on a wide range of issues in that time.
He said: “I first met Alain in the early 1990s during the middle of the recession. It was a difficult time for many businesses and we weren’t happy with the service we were receiving from our former accountant at the time.
“From the very beginning, Alain was very assertive and set about assisting us straight away with our tax affairs, which allowed us to achieve a rebate that helped us continue trading during a difficult period.
“His approach remains the same today. When you are with him and other members of the Grunberg team, the focus is always on you and your business.
“We like that Alain treats our problems or opportunities as his own. It’s like he takes ownership of the business during the time he is working with you and treats everything as if it was his own company.
“He is always proactive and ready to offer advice. The fact that he is backed up by such a passionate team is great. Grunberg enjoys excellent consistency within its team, so you are often dealing with the same people time and time again, who understand your business and its requirements.
“If there is ever an issue that Alain or the team can’t handle, they are always quick to put us in touch with someone who can from their extensive list of highly skilled contacts.
“Perhaps, most importantly for many businesses owners, Alain is always trying to find new ways to save you money, help your business grow or provide a solution to your issues.
“I like that he can take a straight look at something and just come up with ideas that work, plus he is very easy to chat with, which helps.
“I have happily recommended Grunberg and Alain to many others in the past, because I know they always deliver a great service.”
