“It is a pleasure to write this reference for Jo Broad-Ashman who has been my accountant and trusted advisor for the past 5 years. As an electrician running my own business, I rely heavily on having someone dependable and capable managing the financial side of things. From day one, she has been that person for me. Entrusting someone with the inner workings of your business requires enormous confidence, and I can say without hesitation that I trust her completely.
She handles my accounts with professionalism, accuracy, and absolute discretion. More than that, she takes a real interest in the success of my business. She explains things clearly, keeps me organised, and ensures everything runs smoothly behind the scenes so I can focus on my work.
What truly sets her apart is that she regularly goes above and beyond what would normally be expected of her role. She has helped with various additional tasks and administrative matters that extend beyond standard accounting duties, always willingly and with the same level of care and commitment. Her support has made a meaningful difference to how efficiently my business operates.
Although she is also a close friend, she has always maintained clear professional boundaries and the highest level of integrity. She is objective, trustworthy, and deeply reliable — someone I value both personally and professionally.
I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking not only a highly competent accountant, but someone who genuinely cares about the people and businesses she works with.”
