ForrestBrown Limited Reviews

Very efficient service and a pleasure to work with. Thank you for all your help and advice. Highly recommend

Our claim was dealt with very professionally and efficiently and we were kept informed at each stage of the process. Would thoroughly recommend Forrest Brown to help with your R&D tax credit claim

Very professional service who were quick to deliver results. I was recommended to use ForrestBrown by my Accountant and they did not disappoint. My company was looking into a possible R&D claim and ForrestBrown took us through the whole process from start to finish so easily (if you have ever applied for R&D you know how difficult this process can be) This is the third company that we have used and only ForrestBrown have managed to take our claim to a very successful conclusion. would thoroughly recommend and will use again 100%.

I've continued to have a great service with ForestBrown. Would recommend them to anyone considering research and development tax credits. Thank you.

Very pleased with the service! In particular Stephanie has been most helpful!

We at Principal Doorsets Ltd, have been using ForrestBrown Limited for our R&D Tax Credits for a few years and we highly recommend them. They have provided a proficient, friendly and professional service for us. Particular compliments to Katy Long for the personal touch and superior knowledge in the R&D tax field.

Forest Brown did a great job on our R&D tax credits claim, they were more expensive than other options but they were very easy to work with and helpful.

ForrestBrown are experts in R&D tax credits. They make a complicated process easy to understand, by working with you to comply with the requirements, but also helping you to think laterally about R&D.

Very friendly, professional - so pleased with the work done on my behalf and have every confidence in recommending

When I looked for a company to represent us a couple of years ago, Forrest Brown stood out as they were very personal and their contract was simple, easy to read and stayed away from the typical legal jargon that can confuse many of us. Their approach working together follows on from their contract of engagement....clear, personal, very supportive coupled with fantastic knowledge. I would highly recommend them as a partner for any R&D tax advise/claims. A special thank you to Chris Alderson and Alex Cornelius. Look forward to working with you both again next year.

What great guys, helped us a few times now with fantastic results. Very professional and a massive help!

I have been very impressed with Forrest Brown. The team are very responsive and have done a great job for us at Thalia Design Automation. They have done 4X R&D tax claims for us now, they turned each one around rapidly and were able to secure larger refunds than planned in each case. They have extensive knowledge and understanding of the their chosen focus area and I would not hesitate to recommend.

Forrest Brown are great, in particular Charlotte and Johnny. I thought the process was going to be long and complicated, but Charlotte and Johnny made the process insanely simple. Very professional guys, extremely efficient process.

Edited review to 2 stars. Thanks for the response, the work is great - this policy still doesn't sit comfortably with me.

Was called today by ForrestBrown to inform me that "due to COVID19" any future R&D claims will require 100% of the R&D credit to be paid to FB, then the balance net of fees would be paid to the client thereafter.
My issue is not with the work done - that is done to a fantastically high standard. However, to use a global pandemic (where thousands are still dying every day) as a poor excuse to cut their credit risk and insult their customers is abhorrent.
When I aired my concerns, I was told they could make a special case for me if they asked their FD. But I'm sorry, this doesn't excuse the vile way of using COVID as an excuse to sly in policies to better their themselves while the majority of clients have their backs turned, looking out for one others.
I hope other clients will stand with me and move their business elsewhere, it's not like they have a monopoly any more.

Great, proactive company who are keen to help. Highly recommend their services.

I cannot recommend the team at FB highly enough. We are a small team and super busy, so they took care to make it as simple (and non time consuming) as they possibly could. The kick off meeting with their wider project team (although a little overwhelming at the time) helped us to understand the opportunity, the process and what was needed from our side. From there, any requirements were kept to an absolute minimum, a handful of calls and the submission was ready to go. We are now already preparing for our 2020 claim and are much more informed on what is needed, so that we can keep careful records as we go. Honestly, it's a no brainer to use these guys!

We've used ForrestBrown on 3 x occasions now for R&D Tax Credit claims and each time they've been superb. They're extremely knowledgeable, very responsive and simply "get things done". I would highly recommend them.

I'd highly recommend ForrestBrown: they really made the whole R&D claim process exceptionally smooth and provided consistently excellent and valuable support throughout.

I think what sets them apart for me is the breadth and depth of their expertise: this enabled them to understand our business and our technology challenges in detail very quickly, which in turn made the engagement process very efficient for our busy team.

They have also clearly put a lot of effort and wisdom into making their documentation easy to digest, and are friendly and professional to work with whether face-to-face or remotely (which at the time of writing is becoming exceptionally important).

We had a modest R&D claim and initially asked a firm recommended by our accountants to handle this. After months of getting nowhere a client suggested we speak to ForrestBrown. Although time was short, Rebecca Fry pulled out all the stops and very efficiently dealt with our claim. The contrast with the first company we spoke to was striking. We were very pleased with the service we received from ForrestBrown - and the money we received from HMRC :-)

Absolute pleasure working with the team at Forrest Brown. Max and Alex we re a great help and very professional. Would highly recommend.

First class services and very helpful, all work was carried out very professional

A very helpful and friendly team who've held our hand through the otherwise arcane world of R&D grants

I nearly didn't bother! I'm glad I did!

Who are the go to leaders in the field? That's where I usually start my search. Find the best and use the best is usually only tempered by the cost and then its down to me to work out if they're worth it.

For R&D tax credits Nikhil and Evie are one of the most professional teams I have come across in any field. What could have been a chore, a challenging chore, was made both easy and fast. The conciseness and clarity and Evie's gentle pushing us for information meant a job we nearly didn't bother with was simple. Talk to Nikhil- insist on Evie

Super happy with the service I got from Forrest Brown. Everything was very easy from start to finish. I will definitely be using them again for my future claims.

ForrestBrown have proved themselves professional and very knowledgeable, and it has been a pleasure working with them.
Over the last 3 years we've been successful in claiming against our R&D expenses and ForrestBrown have assisted in identifying additional items we had overlooked or not considered.
We can highly recommend their service.

We do lot of R&D here at CreoGlass and we do appreciate Forrest Brown's Excellent Service, very professional approach and very helpful. We'll use them again and recommend them to all businesses that need help producing quality R&D claims.

Very disappointing. I have sent email and called them but heard nothing back. I thought they were a modern and effective company. How do they get customer I wonder? Waste time!

Great People, Great Company and a Fantastic Service. Every business owner should make contact with Forrest Brown; I cant recommend them enough!

Excellent support from the team at ForrestBrown with our R&D Claim. ForrestBrown come highly recommend!

Steph and team made this a very painless process, would not hesitate to recommend.

ForrestBrown are great to work with - very professional, minimise the amount of admin work we had to do and most importantly ensured that we received correct level of R&D credits.

I've worked with Forrest Brown for about five years and its service is just getting better and better. They always go the extra mile to make my life easy and never fail to deliver.

Consummate professionals in respect of R&D Tax Credit claims.

I will strongly recommend ForrestBrown, great service, and quick turnaround. I have worked closely with Rory for our RD Tax, a great guy and a great professional.

Excellent, efficient and knowledgeable - highly recommended.

We've worked with ForrestBrown for a number of years now and will continue to do so. Their expertise in their field is clear and they make it an easy process for us to go through with their systematic approach to what can be a complex area. Would recommend.

We have enjoyed the process with ForrestBrown and have found it comprehensive and efficient.

We have worked with ForrestBrown for three years now. The company operates in a very professional way and we have a high degree of confidence in the work they produce. It has been a pleasure working with the staff at ForrestBrown and we hope to continue working with them into the future.

Can't recommend highly enough!
At first i thought we would have a physical meetings and go through the process personally face to face, however everything was through remote communication which was extremely efficient and probably even better than meetings. The dedicated team communicated through phone calls and emails, they guided explain things in easy understandable manners. Always supportive approach that makes feel like there is just someone next to you all the time.
Great service, thank you so much Evie and your team!!!

Very open and honest people to work with. They take great care in what they do and are always on hand to discuss various matters. Would recommend to anyone looking for a team of R&D specialist.

Great company to work with, have icreased our R&D Tax Credits with thier ongoing support and professionalism.

Very knowledgeable and helpful team - highly recommended.

We have just worked again with ForrestBrown on our R&D Tax claim and I couldn't believe how easy it was, everything was done so quickly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Evie and the team were professional, efficient, and thorough throughout our R&D tax claim. Highly recommended.

Super simple, efficient and approachable to work with. We look forward to working with them again on future claims. Zoe in particular did a good job of keeping the project moving and submitting a highly polished and professional claim. Thanks to all.

I run a small business and was completely new to the R&D process. I've been dealing with Alex and the team at ForrestBrown for a couple of years now. Having no previous experience in R&D claims they walked me through it and by the second year the claim was done and dusted in a matter of days. They were quick to pick up on our projects and their technical complexities (a rarity when speaking with other consultants) - a summary paragraph and phone call was all it took for them to put the entire claim together.

I did briefly consider trying to do my claim myself to save money originally, but the knowledge ForrestBrown has of what can (and can't) be claimed and the terminology had meant they've easily earned their fees. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in a similar circumstance, it's just much less hassle and the value is added to the claim.

Thanks to Alex and the team for making this stress free!

A wonderful and friendly business to work with. Professional and supportive throughout the process. I would certainly work with them again.

I used Forrest brown for our R&D tax credit claim. The whole process was super smooth, very easy and get professional. Jared and the team were fantastic. I cant recommend them enough and I will be using them again.

No fuss, just got the job done and were friendly as well. Definitely way more knowledgeable in this space than my accountant.

We have used ForrestBrown for the last 3 years now and I have really appreciated all they have done. They makes the R&D process simple to understand and extract the right information. They are a friendly and approachable team. If you contacted them they reply quickly and always able to answer all of my question. We would recommend them.

We have used ForrestBrown for a few years now and have really appreciated all they have done. They make the R&D process simple to understand and extract the right information. They are a friendly and approachable team. We would recommend them.

First class customer service. Charlotte and her colleagues dealt with our case in a very efficient and effective manner. I would not hesitate to recommend their services

Second year working with them and Forrest & Brown have exceeded all my expectations again and also done the same for people I have referred to them. Daniel is my Tax manager, he has taken great care of me and done a sterling job. Expetional service, I highly recommend working with them.

Fantastic to work with, the FB team are absolute experts at what they do. The claim itself was submitted within two weeks of project kick-off. The process is painless, communication is superb, responses to queries are immediate, and the claim itself was settled by HMRC and in our business account four weeks after FB submission. I looked around before choosing, and am extremely happy I went with ForrestBrown!

Always provide a professional service with minimal leg work from ourselves. Well worth using for your R and D tax credit claims.

Fabulous company, even better staff. A pleasure to work with and I can't recommend them highly enough as R&D experts.

I've used Forrest Brown for 5 years now and have always been impressed by their knowledge, great service and very passionate team. Would recommend.

Thanks to ForrestBrown's professional and very experience staff we managed to gain more R&D tax claim back then we had hoped for. Would highly recommend!

ForrestBrown have supported us in our R & D Claims for many years now and give me great confidence that our claim will be not only maximise what is due, but also will be accurate and valid.

If you found a nugget, would you throw it away? I have been working with the team at ForrestBrown for a number of years now and despite getting regular cold calls from other companies offering a similar service, I was never tempted. Combining a personal touch with a genuine interest in understanding what we do, the ForrestBrown team has consistently produced outstanding submissions. They are a nugget and I am definitely not throwing it away.

Exceptional and efficient service, extremely happy with the process of drawing up a claim and happy with the outcome. Will be using them annually from now on.

We've used Forrest Brown for a number of years to support our R&D application. Emily, Virali & Tomi have helped guide us through the process. Great company and easy to work with.

Very efficient and easy to deal with, made the whole process very simple and took very little time.

A fantastic service which i would, and have recommended. They make the process of R&D tax credit claims very simple and have been a value tool for our company. We're looking forward to working with ForrestBrown again.

We've used Ele and the guys at ForrestBrown two years in a row now with great success on both occasions. They work quickly and efficiently and I would highly recommend them to any company that could be owed tax credits for R&D expenditure.

Would highly recommend. Efficient, professional service throughout.

We have worked closely with Forest Brown over the last couple of years and they have proved themselves to be extremely knowledgeable in their field. We were introduced by a third party and highly recommend working with them to any small to medium sized business. Thanks Ian and the team!

We, Hussey Seatway Ltd, have been using Forrest Brown for our R&D Tax Credits for a few years now and we would highly recommend them. They have provided a proficient, friendly and professional service that we cannot fault. Particular compliments to Eleanor Theochari for her personal touch and dedication to her clients.

Forrest Brown have successfully guided my company through several R&D processes and the service just gets better and better with an easy system that gets great results.

Charlotte Daniels and the team at ForrestBrown are very knowledgeable and have guided us through the R & D Tax credit process. Once you get going, it's a relatively simple process which we will be repeating annually. Thank you to the team at ForrestBrown - without your help we wouldn't have been any the wiser!

Process was made simple and effective. Reduction in tax and refund for previous year received within a few weeks.

I was put in touch with Forrest Brown by a business contact who had used them before. Initially I was doubtful that our business would qualify, but talking to the consultants at Forrest Brown, they assured me that we would. The initial setup required a bit of time to reallocate categories in the accounting software, but once it was set up, the Forrest Brown consultants were able to complete the process with very little input from us, but they made sure I was kept informed along the way. All in all a service worth recommending.

A very positive experience - a very professional team.

Having worked alongside Ele and her colleagues at Forest brown for the last few days I have to say, I am delighted with the quality, speed and integrity of the services we receive....keep up the good work

Highly professional and helpful team assisting in submitting our first R&D claim. Regal Balustrades Limited.

Very good service from all the team. Good communication throughout with nice reports to make it easy to understand. Would highly recommend.

we have worked with ForrestBrown for several years now and find their R+D tax claim work to be extremely efficient and straightforward. They have helped the business reclaim a considerable amount of money and the whole process is always well managed. This year we have worked with Steph Ward as our tax adviser and she has been extremely professional and supportive to work with.

We at Upp B2B have used the Forrest Brown team for a number of years now for our R&D. The professional way in which they always manage our claims is excellent and It's a pleasure to deal with them. Their knowledge and guideance is extensive and invaluable to us.

Very easy and quick process. The staff were very helpful and thorough, they took the stress and complication of the application as they knew exactly what was required. We have made a successful claim for this year and the previous year. Natalie Puddy- Frocester Engineering Ltd.

Great to deal with, professional, and know the subject well.

Excellent outfit. Fantastic people. We have worked with ForrestBrown for many years and will continue to do so. Nikhil Bhatia has been outstanding in supporting our R&D claim.

Completely new to this area of tax , but the appointed adviser made the whole process very straightforward and was completed successfully in a short space of time. What I anticipated to be an onerous task, was handled efficiently and with good results.

We have worked with Forrest Brown for a number of years now, and the team are a pleasure to deal with. Great communication and attention to detail. Would recommend!

Would definitely recommend!
Very knowledgeable and helpful people at Forrest Brown, they are able to walk you through and discuss all elements of an R+D Tax Claim along with giving you a simple breakdown of information if needed.

We have used another company for R+D in the past and we have found that Forrest Brown are the best by a long way.

Very Pro Active and gave some great advice, making the process really simple, it couldn't have been easier and made a massive difference to enable us to reinvest in our staff and future projects. Thank you!

Forrest Brown and in particular Daniel Middleton helped our business reclaim the R & D owed to us from HMRC. It was a long and difficult process and we were helped every step of the way.
