FFT were recommended to Commercial Filters Ltd. by their solicitor during the planning stages of a Management Buy-Out (MBO).

In September 2022, the team had an initial meeting with FFT, who outlined how they could support the business with the MBO.

David says: “We were impressed with their knowledge and professional attitude, so we were happy to engage FFT’s services.

“The MBO process was extensive and took around six months to complete.

“Throughout, the FFT team were always available to answer queries and support us, including preparing detailed cash-flow forecasts for our lenders.

“Their support during the MBO was invaluable, and they made a complex process much smoother.”

Since completing the buy-out, FFT have continued to provide a range of services, including annual accounts and tax preparation guidance.

They also helped Commercial Filters Ltd. submit P11D forms and Directors’ Tax Returns, as well as advising on future planning strategies.

FFT also assist with company secretarial work, ensuring everything runs efficiently.

“Having spent many years in accountancy practice, I appreciate the way FFT work.

“They are receptive to our needs, quick to respond, and proactive in keeping us informed of any business news that may affect us,” David adds.

“FFT’s regular newsletters and updates ensure we stay ahead of changes that could impact our business.

“If I had to use three words to describe them, I’d say they were helpful, informative, and friendly – everything you want in an accountancy practice!”
