Words from our clients

"As a grant maker, high quality support in conducting our due diligence is exceptionally valuable. Stuart and the wider team are fantastic to partner with and always deliver a brilliant service. Stuart is exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful, and beyond financial insight, risk assessment and due diligence support, is an appreciated sounding board for wider initiatives we’re exploring in the grantmaking sector."

“Stuart and his team are both unique and generous in their approach, technical expertise and ethos. His is the only financial expert in the development and humanitarian sector that I have met and have worked with that implicitly understands and concretely demonstrates that the numbers contained within budgets and spreadsheets translate into critical assistance and service to the world’s most vulnerable. This marrying of hearts and minds is what makes him and his team so effective in navigating the vicissitudes of donor and on the ground field operations. Stuart has proven that you really can have it all, first class reporting and transparency translating into effective operations.”

"After struggling to open a bank account for almost 10 months, I stumbled upon Stuart Davis Consulting and the service I have received is more than I expected. Stuart Davis Consulting Ltd came to our aid when I had almost given up. They opened a client account for the Charity within days; held several virtual meetings to advise us on online appropriate processes to maintain our accounts; and have offered a whole range of other services to strengthen the financial management and accountability of our Charity."

“Stuart and his team are great to work with. They take the time to get to know your organisation and use their wealth of expertise and knowledge to provide advice and guidance as well as work with you to implement the right solution. Would happily recommend them”

"When Degrees Initiative (DI) engaged SDC, there were few systems and processes across our HR, finance, governance and operations. SDC immediately took the weight off the small start up team and by proposing and then introducing many of these, which allowed the team to concentrate on key programmatic areas. But SDC also supported the DI team in many other ways, nothing was too much trouble for either Stuart or any member of his team, who often went over and beyond their contractual obligations to ensure that DI was able to perform to the best of its ability. SDC was a vital part of the stabilisation and growth of DI, and the organisation is in a much stronger position thanks to the work of SDC."
