Had a brilliant conversation with Peter Jarman. I'm looking forward to finding out more about how we can work together. It was just the conversation I needed to take me to the next level.

I was referred Kayvan at PJCO by a highly trusted friend, and took up the offer of a free consultation call. My business partner and I were extrememly impressed with Kayvan, who was very generous with his knowledge and advice. It was clear he would be a great fit for us. We're putting our project on ice for other resaons, but I'll have no hesitation in recommending Kayvan, and using his services in the future when required. Thanks again for the call.

I’ve been genuinely disappointed with the level of service I received from PJCO. Communication was consistently slow from Chloe Britnell, a partner, and I often felt left waiting for responses that should have been straightforward. When I did receive replies, the tone came across as dismissive rather than supportive, which made the whole process more stressful than it needed to be. As a client, I expect professionalism, timely communication, and a sense that my concerns are taken seriously. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience here. I hope PJCO takes this feedback on board and improves the way they engage with clients going forward, currently looking for a new accountant.

I recently had a discovery call with Peter. Peter listened and explained all my options very clearly. Also the dealings with any of his colleagues were very informative and professional.

My experience of finding a good accountant was not great until I found Peter Jarman in 2011. They are reliable, friendly and extremely professional. I'm a small business wholesaler and online retailer and have needed a lot of financial advice to get my business off the ground and running. They have always been able to help out. I would highly recommend them.

I booked a free discovery call with Peter to discuss the pros and cons starting a LTD company given my specific circumstances. Peter was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave me a clear idea of how to move forward with my business. I would definitely recommend PJCO!

I can’t say enough good things about my first contact with Peter. Although it was only an exploration call, Peter took the time to answer all my questions and provided me with very detailed information about my current and future plans. I was particularly impressed by the fact that he advised me to hold off on creating an Ltd (which was the main question I had) to save money instead of basically paying an accountant a considerable amount to create and run an Ltd. Peter’s advice was genuine and didn’t think of his immediate profit but wanted to give me the best possible solution based on my personal circumstances. Finally, I’ve started following the PJCO YouTube channel and I’m again very impressed with the free information they put out there, it’s a great resource. I will follow Peter’s advice for now but I will definitely use PJCO in the near future when the timing is right. Again thank you for being so helpful and patient with me!

Liaising with Peter has been a pleasure. He has a very calm yet thorough approach with my Business endeavours and I feel secure backed by his years of experience. I'd definitely recommend having a chat if you're looking for pragmatic assistance with your business finances

I contacted PJCO via their website after seeing Peter on YouTube. I organised a discovery call with Peter which was very easy to book and very convenient. Peter called promptly at the agreed time and set out very clearly how PJCO could help me and the services on offer. He offered me some very helpful advice in a relaxed and professional manner. Following our call I received an email setting out the services recommended with a clear pricing structure. I now believe I have the knowledge I need to act with confidence.

The service was excellent at all levels from Peter's advice, knowledge and quick follow-up to the efficient online booking process & reminder (and the nice office!). I'd also like to stress how friendly and relaxed Peter was. I selected Peter based on the very positive online reviews, and can confirm other reviewers very positive experiences. Peter was able to offer expert (and reassuring) advice at our initial meeting and this was followed up with an email later that day outlining what we'd discussed. The free initial meeting and costings were all clearly laid and Peter's email gave a clear cost for a follow up report. So at all times I knew what to expect. Highly recommended.
