"We worked with Sam at Forum Accountants on the final Independent Accountant’s Report (IAR) for our HyPStore Innovate UK project, and the experience was excellent from start to finish.
Sam was highly responsive and communicative throughout, always quick to turn things around and very clear in his guidance. He made what can be quite a detailed and sometimes complex process feel straightforward and well managed, ensuring we had everything in place for a smooth and compliant submission.
The quality of his work was outstanding, with a strong attention to detail and a clear understanding of Innovate UK requirements. It gave us real confidence in the robustness of our final claim.
Overall, a genuinely great experience working with Sam — professional, efficient, and a pleasure to deal with. We’d highly recommend him and Forum Accountants to anyone going through the IAR process."

"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Sam Evans of Forum Accountants. We were highly impressed by his exceptional support and professionalism during our audit. His depth of knowledge, attention to detail, and fast turnaround times were also impressive.
Whether it was weekends, evenings, or tight deadlines, Sam was always responsive. His ability to simplify complex requirements and guide us through the process was invaluable, especially for an organization like ours navigating these specific audit requirements for the first time.
I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs grant audit support. We look forward to working with him again soon."
