Chemogiftbags has used Rachel for some years for our charity accounts and has always been reliable. The accounts done on time and in the first instance helped facilitate the take over to Holy Brook Associates by collecting and arranging.Always available to answer questions and give advice and you dont have to wait days for a reply. We would recommend Rachel and her business to anyone who asks. Always goes that extra mile to help.

Rachel and Holy Brook Associates have been a wonderful supporter, companion and advisor to Ethical Reading CIC. Having taken on the daunting task of taking over the accounts two years ago I thoroughly recommend Holy Brook as the ideal partner.

Rachel Eden has been completing our annual independent review of our charity's accounts for a few years now and it has truly been a pleasure to work with her. She is very supportive of local charities and as someone not from a finance background she helps you understand all of the financial implications and information involved in the process as well as the current regulations. Thank you so much!

Rachel at Holy Brook has done the independent examination of our charity's financial statements for several years now. Rachel and her team are professional, responsive, friendly and knowledgable about charity accounting. It's always been a stress-free process and I would highly recommend them!
