“I had a fantastic experience with Quantuma. I worked with Chris over a period of months and he was incredibly helpful and insightful. It was great to have someone so knowledgeable in my corner, he went over and above to support me through a very complex and difficult time. His advice extended far beyond my immediate situation, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Quantuma again. Chris is a true professional.”

Craig, Business Owner, Oxfordshire

“Client-focused professional services. My experience with Quantuma was very positive. From the initial call, I found them to be competent, knowledgeable and insightful, all of which helped to foster my confidence. They were thorough in managing the process and highly responsive to my questions, communicating well and articulating what needed to be done and when so the work could be completed efficiently.”

Mandip, Business Owner, Buckinghamshire

“My experience with Quantuma was very good, they were recommended to me by my accountant and I can see why. I had a previous experience with a different firm and liquidating a business has some fixed costs that can make the process frustrating when the overall sums involved are not huge, but that’s the way the system works, nobody’s fault. Quantuma were on the ball, competent, responsive, helpful and communicative. I would definitely recommend them.”
