What our customers are saying about us

We approached McAleer Jackson when our business commenced and have been very impressed with the depth of knowledge that they demonstrated in assisting us to establish our business and in providing tax efficient advice. The staff have always been both professional and knowledgeable, dealing with any queries promptly and accurately.

Martin Grimes & Adrian McCrory

Directors, Adman Civil Projects Ltd

McAleer Jackson has advised me on a wide range of areas including incorporation, business plans and financing options. They helped develop my computerised accounting system and have since provided ongoing support and assistance to our accounts staff who have found them both approachable and helpful. More recently they prepared financial projections for a new contract under consideration which was invaluable to me during the strategic planning process.

Jonathan McAuley

S J McAuley Engineering Ltd

McAleer Jackson has provided me with fast and effective advice in all areas of my business, from its commencement to its disposal. Their tax partner, Arnold Jackson, was of great assistance in minimising the tax liability arising on the sale of my private company and the entire team ensured that the sale process was managed smoothly. I will be ensuring that McAleer Jackson are on board for any future ventures I undertake.

Mark Nixon

Former Director Castle Pharmacy (NI) Ltd

McAleer Jackson provided excellent advice and guidance to us and our client. The MJ team quickly grasped the nature of the advice we needed and on the basis of the advice provided, our client achieved an outcome that was significantly in excess of expectation. They have expressed to me their gratitude for MJ’s assistance.

I am extremely pleased with the Research and Development claim that was prepared for my Company. The McAleer Jackson team took time to listen and fully understand what was a complex project, and with input from a number of specialists in the firm, MJ produced a professional report which fully captured the concepts behind the project and resulted in a successful claim.
