Richard was recommended by a friend. He did a brilliant job helped with all the paperwork/forms and gave good advice. Richard kept me up to date with everything until complete & followed up with a call after. I would highly recommend him.

December 5, 2023Richard has been an invaluable support in managing my late mother's affairs since her passing last year. His promptness in responding to inquiries and his vast expert knowledge have made a challenging time much easier for me. Whether he was getting probate granted, submitting Inheritance Tax documents or negotiating with the Revenue Office, I knew that my mother's affairs were in very safe hands. In turn, this allowed me to focus on my family and other administrative tasks. I highly recommend Richard for anyone needing reliable accounting assistance, under whichever circumstance.

Richard did an exceptional job organising probate after our mother died in June. Throughout the entire process he was diligent, persistent, and consistently communicative. He made sure every detail was handled with care and professionalism, keeping us updated at every step and ensuring nothing fell through the cracks. His support made a difficult time much easier for my brother and me, and we’re truly grateful for his hard work and dedication. Highly recommended.

August 7, 2023This is the 2nd time I have used Richard's services, but this time for probate. The service I received was impeccable and swift. His advice was excellent and can not rate Richard highly enough. If there was a 6th star I would have added it.

August 8, 2024Richard and the Financial Zone are the go to for anything related to finance. Pensions, mortgages, home care planning, estate planning and will planning. With over 35 years in the business there is no one better than these people. I could only recommend Richard Smith or The Finance Zone as the best you can get. A great guy with great knowledge, totally reliable and professional.
