Sebastian Hunter
Thank you to Jonathan Laws, he has always acted in a polite and professional manor and very promt at getting back to me. The level or transpartency is the best I have come accross, showing the potential portfolio before any sign up. Alos they use Novia Gloabal for the Interntional Sipp which I had researched before approaching CJ. They by far had the best reponse time and level of information than other companies. I spoke to around 6 other companies after first researching Expat pensions. Of course I can not commnet at this stage on the actual performance of the funds but the up front information allows you to research the funds you will have your money invested in. Also Jonothan does not try and bambusal you with usesless information as others have tried, everything he gives is relevant and to the point and he also does not assume you have no knowledge yourself again as others have done. They transfered all my pensions as fast as possible and guided me through the process and kept in touch to ensure I new what to do next, they filled out forms imediatly and guided me through what I needed to do at each step. Highly recomend them based on the front end interaction and will leave further comment in a couple of years

I taught Jonny while he prepared for his ICAEW professional accountancy examinations. He always came to classes well prepared and was clearly diligent with his studies. He made useful contributions to class discussions and made a positive impact on the classroom environment. He worked hard when we practised past exam questions and used the practice to help him improve his technique, not that he needed much improvement.

I work in the advisory team as a senior associate, spending the majority of my time in the listing's team. I perform reporting accountant work for funds registered in the Channel Islands that want to have an IPO or raise capital through the London Stock Exchange. Tasks include: testing working capital models to provide assurance to potential shareholders that the assumptions in the model are reasonable and well supported, providing assurance over the Investment Circular contents and drafting Comfort Letters. I also write Working Capital Reports that aim to take the model provided to us by the client and output a document that highlights the key outputs of the model, the results of scenario and sensitivity analysis, and cash flow risk mitigation.
