CLIENT TESTIMONIALS.

We have established a great team with Isosceles. They provide an integrated, coherent and flexible finance and accounting department with individuals of a very high calibre. We did consider using one of the ‘big four’ to set up the US subsidiary, but their charges were excessive and they had no knowledge of our company. Isosceles, on the other hand, had the individuals with the commercial acumen and business expertise we needed to help us, as well as in depth knowledge of the company.

Paul Yarwood, US General Manager, InsightSoftware.com

Expansion into Europe is a key strategic goal for our company.  With so many decisions to make it is great to have an experienced partner like Isosceles to take the compliance headaches away allowing us to focus on the big commercial decisions

Tim Sherwood, Managing Director of International Business, Lightning Hybrids

I have found the HR team at Isosceles to be extremely reliable.  Their consultants are very knowledgeable and pragmatic in their advice.

Lauren Nagel-Krosney, VP of Human Resources/ Real Capital Analytics Inc.

It is very reassuring to have the Isosceles HR team on hand with knowledge and resources to help us with any HR issues at any time in the UK and beyond.
