I cannot rate this company highly enough. From the very first call they continue to be efficient, knowledgeable, personable and all round brilliant to work with. We have now successfully gone through two R & D claims with them both being painless, quick and very beneficial.

Extremely happy with the service. We were very grateful that all of the work was completed very promptly, to a high standard and with excellent communication throughout.

Walmer explained everything in simple terms and then took responsibility for everything going forward. It's very complex if you try to do this yourself. If you are a technology company and are not taking advantage of this technology grant, then I would strongly recommend Walmer to guide you through this process.

Our experience with Walmer Group has been great! … The due diligence they carry out gives me the assurance that the team knows what they are dealing with. Throughout the process, there were lots of team members involved, proactive updates, chasing HMRC, and instant responses.

We were introduced to the Walmer team through a mutual client… Having overseen their thorough process, we were very impressed with the way they worked and interacted with both the client and with us as accountants. We love the smoothness of their work.
