“Milton Avis’s philosophy is ‘you are good at the things you do, and we are good at the things we do’. They aim to take the burden from you and allow you to get on with your business so you can generate more profit.
When you see someone actually doing something, as opposed to talking about what they are going to do for you, that is very important.
I have known accountants who were going to move the earth for clients and never delivered.
I can assure you that Milton Avis delivered for me.
The biggest help I get from Milton Avis is that they think like business people, as we do who are out there in the coal face as it were. They can see the day to day commercial problems and come up with commercial solutions.”

“The British Fulbright Scholars Association has been consistently impressed by the professional, courteous and efficient service provided by Milton Avis. They have been a pleasure to work with.”

“For more than 10 years Milton Avis have provided us with a comprehensive and wholly professional service. When we initially engaged Milton Avis I think it is fair to say that our bookkeeping left a great deal to be desired and frankly we were at a loss to know where to start. In addition we had lost the services of our internal auditors and had no idea who we should engage. Thankfully, through the good counsel of Simon Young the position is now very different. We are able to lodge our returns with the Charity Commission in a timely manner and our bookkeeping is up to date and audited. This in turn has the knock-on effect of making our organisation more efficient and effective in its core activities. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Milton Avis to others for all accountancy needs.”
Dr P J Morgan JP -
Honorary Secretary
Medical Research Council Staff Benevolent Fund Association
“Milton Avis have provided us with an extremely personalised and friendly service for any matter at any time. They go to the pains of understanding the nature of our business.

“They say 'man makes plans.....God laughs'
He would certainly have laughed had he seen the state of the accounts when Milton Avis took them over some 30 years ago!
However, we made a plan and it worked.
Their accurate forecasting of the country’s financial highs and lows, their attention to every detail of my various business interests and their pension advice is now allowing me to enjoy my semi retirement.
My association with Milton Avis is one of the reasons I am able to send this testimonial from the shade of a palm tree on a beach in Barbados!”
Mr Chris Sandford
Hobo Radio & Music Productions Limited
“At Cirro Lite we do not have a full time accountant. Therefore Milton Avis’s role is to guide us through the mire of taxation law and advise on procedures.

We always require a fast end of year audit and again Milton Avis come through with an efficient service and good advice.”

Milton Avis offer real quality of service at a price which is affordable to a growing company eager to get the very best tax and financial advice.”
Mr W Freson -
Company Secretary

“Milton Avis are extremely approachable and very user friendly in that aspect. They are good at problem solving.
Over the 25 years that we have dealt with accountants we found small firms of accountants to be nothing more than glorified bookkeepers.
The medium range thought they were trying to be more than bookkeepers.
The large firms were extremely good, but very intense and not very easy to work with, so far as small and medium sized businesses were concerned, as one was made to feel that one was outside their league. Milton Avis find the balance, they deal with you as a person first and foremost, then the business aspect follows.”
Mr A Pinner – Managing Director
New Road Fashions Limited
“Milton Avis have been at the very forefront of our development, from its embryonic stage to its current status of having a reputation for the best and most reliable independent supplier of products and services in our field. We have continually benefited from Milton Avis’s invaluable guidance. They have been experts at forecasting and dealing with changes in our business. They are much more than an accountancy firm. In our business everything must be done yesterday. In partnership with Milton Avis you can pick up the phone and get somebody who knows your company intimately and can deal with the problem there and then, rather than wait for appointments and endless exchanging of letters. There are enough staff within Milton Avis, with across the board experience, who know the issues relating to our company. Milton Avis tailor their advice and service to whatever our circumstances are.”
Mr D Barber – Managing Director

“Almost anyone can keep books, but to give good advice, worth its weight in gold, you need a good business manager/advisor and Milton Avis is the best. I cannot praise them highly enough for their professional, diligent, prompt and excellent advice.”
Dr B Riley MBE, BSc, MB BS FRCA
“Milton Avis have been managing my tax affairs for over 35 years. They have always given me the most excellent financial advice. They have helped me tremendously in running my very busy private practice both in the West End of London and the three major hospitals where I have been on the consultant staff.
Gerry Avis has been amazingly supportive and always full of new ideas as to how I should run my financial affairs. Gerry himself is a very relaxed and humorous person with whom it has always been a pleasure to discuss these matters. I would have been completely lost without his help.
Accountants sometimes have a bad name but Gerry Avis is the perfect example of what a good and honest accountant should be.”
