deVere United Kingdom

The service levels and care taken by Rachel and her team at Sestini & Co is one of the main reasons I recommend my clients to Sestini & Co.

Kevin White of deVere on working with Sestini & Co “Typically my clients have worked overseas and have different taxation and company set-up issues that come from multi-jurisdictional taxation regimes and Rachel and the team are well versed in all the global taxation issues and how best to deal with them as a UK resident.”

I cannot recommend Sestini & Co highly enough and thank you for taking care of my clients.

Gregg Latchams Limited

I have found working with Rachel Sestini very easy. There are not many tax experts who realise that we all live in a real world too and are able to make the jump between the tax and real worlds.

Paul Hardman of Gregg Latchams, a happy client of Sestini & Co “I have recently involved Rachel in a high level international IT based project requiring consideration of complex tax rules in a number of jurisdictions. She managed to distil these complex issues into a thorough but simple set of recommendations.”

I look forward to working with her in 2016.

Bruin Biometrics

We are an American company with a UK subsidiary that we mostly manage from the States. We were looking for a firm that could support us locally for accounting and payroll purposes.

Sara Barrington, client of Sestini & Co “What we found in Sestini & Co was a trusted partner as their level of service and the quality of advice made them our first point of contact for advice and recommendations.”

It is a relief to have them as part of our team.

Before engaging with Sestini & Co we worked with a couple of other firms and felt that we got nowhere regarding the advice we needed. We’ve had a real problem finding people to actually provide guidance rather than sitting on the fence.

Jonathan Lewis, Executive Co-founder of www.sourceconnect.com “Rachel Sestini, however, by asking the right questions of us upfront and throughout the engagement based upon her extensive work experience in this field – has provided us with exactly what we needed: thoughtful, educated and clear guidance on what we should do given the situations we have presented to her.

She has offered advice on what to do in various situations in the UK and where appropriate through her contacts abroad. She also knows when to step back and elicit help from her network of contacts who are just as knowledgeable and aware.

From retaining Rachel to guide us in the tax area, based itself upon the recommendation of someone else that we respect who has worked with her, we had no hesitation in asking her to provide accountancy services for our growing business in the long term.”

I have recommended Rachel Sestini’s services to other parties without hesitation.
