We used The Jonathan Lea Network for our advanced assurance application. Both Simon and Andreea were incredibly helpful, professional and thorough in their work. I would highly recommend them.

Simon Brooks, along with Jonathan Lea, helped us secure certification for the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), which we needed to do retrospectively and without having obtained pre-approval.This was not a straightforward application, and I am sure we could not have achieved HMRC approval so smoothly without their attention to detail, forensic analysis of our application, and encyclopaedic knowledge of the scheme rules. Simon also tidied up our historic filings with Companies House quickly and efficiently. Simon and Jonathan did a first-class job.

Fantastic experience working with Hannah Butler at JLN. She kept me well updated the whole way along the sale process and was able to explain everything so it was clear and consice to me. She is always really upbeat and positive, along with being very professional - winning combo. Would highly recommend Hannah!

Both Andreea Rusu and Simon Brooks worked tirelessly in a timely and transparent fashion while securing advance assurance for my company. Their knowledge was impeccable and they kept me fully informed at everything juncture while offering me appropriate advice when required and where always available to address any questions or queries I had.I found them both to be utterly professional while being a pleasure to deal with and won’t hesitate to use them again going forward.
