"I’ve worked with DTE on year-end group audit and accounts, and more recently on an specific project for our international Group. This was the first time our Group had to deliver this project so we engaged DTE’s professional services to assist us. Their professionalism and commitment to deliver the project was outstanding throughout, with the individuals involved constantly showing a dedicated and personal approach to keep the project progressing, and resilience all the way through to completion.
I look forward to working with them again on future projects."

"I instructed Nick in relation to a high value fatal industrial disease personal injury claim.
The dependency claim, on behalf of the partner of the deceased, was highly complex, involving the valuation of an interest in a successful cleaning business.
Nick quickly grasped the key issues in the case and provided high quality, initial forensic report, which provided a useful road map for this aspect of the case.
Nick also prepared a follow-up report and participated in a conference with Counsel, providing useful insight into the case, and identified deficiencies in the expert evidence presented by his opposite number.
Nick’s involvement added significant value to the case at a reasonable and effective cost.
This ultimately resulted in a satisfactory outcome for my client and a significant award of damages."

"Nick Fail has been extremely helpful to my team in our work assisting clients who have suffered spinal cord injuries and where complex earnings and pension loss calculations are in issue. His ability to navigate through for example complex directors’ ‘but for the injury’ income and remuneration projections has made an important contribution to the body of expert evidence we can put before the Court. He is quick to understand the issues and how they fit into the wider perspective of the litigation. He impresses by being able to provide comprehensive and detailed expert witness input within realistic timescales. Nick is always personable and professional; and a pleasure to work with."

"I have known Alan for must be nearly 40 years, from my days as a client with another firm that no longer exists till now when he is Head of Tax Dispute Resolution at DTE.
My first full recollection, was when I got a tax demand, which I hadn't got a clue where it was raised from! Eventually Alan found out what it was, through his various contacts, and it turned out my dear wife had had a motorbike accident, banked the money, and never declared it. From that time on Alan has acted and still does act for us.
I would recommend him to anyone for tax advice and football!
For us he is always very thorough, concise and great to have him on our side, and a friend as well!"

It now takes a few minutes of our time where previously it took hours to sort out all the details. The reports provided for our payroll are professional and easy to read. The level of service is superb.
If we have a query, it is answered immediately, and we are always made to feel like a valued client.
I would recommend this service to anyone that wants to save time, effort and money.
The payroll team at DTE is always professional and we think of them as our extended B4Box family."

"It is approaching 20 years since I first started working with DTE as our company Accountants. From the outset, I have always found them to show great flexibility in their approach to supporting the company and helping us to progress without any compromise to the fulfilment of our respective regulatory requirements.
I find the whole team across the various specialist departments to be both knowledgeable and fast inputting suggestions and proposals forward for various initiatives to be successfully achieved. One example relates to our 2018 Statutory Accounts for which a plan was agreed so that we could publish by the end of February 2019 – within 8 weeks of our year-end! The most positive aspect for me is the fair pricing and the willingness to evaluate scenarios before fees are incurred which is completely the opposite of my experience with the larger accountancy firms. I would have no hesitation in recommending DTE as an Accountancy provider – particularly for SMEs."
