TESTIMONIALS
Luxury Boutique Collections
I have so many things to say about LMJ Chartered Accountants & Javaria’s work. She is professional, always available, prompt to reply to my emails , very clear in the way things were explained, and never hesitates to give some advice. She helped me enormously with my corporation and self-assessments taxes; also Javaria supported me during the COVID period, especially with research and applications for all grants that I was eligible for. She is fantastic, super helpful, reliable accountant, someone who you can trust to do the best of your interests,
I would definitely recommend her and LMJ Chartered Accountants; we will continue to work together for years to come.
Thank you again for all your support.

LMJ Chartered Accountants have proven to be a very professional accounting service. What I particularly like is that they take the time to listen to my needs and offer detailed advice with explanations pitched at the right level for me to have a thorough understanding of my company’s accounting position.
The communication is always very good and replies are prompt. I truly feel valued and looked after. I do highly recommend you get in touch with LMJ if you are looking for reliable accountants who add personal touch.

Friis & Radstone Law Firm
We have worked with Peter Cooper formally of Holmes Peat Thorpe for years and Javaria, now that the company has merged to become LMJ Chartered Accountants. As our own accountants we have a great working relationship and the team are always on hand should we have a query or enquiries. It is a relief not to worry about deadlines or timescales for submission of returns etc as LMJ are always on the ball and have these in hand. We do not hesitate if our own clients (we are a law firm) need financial advice, to recommend their services either.
