What Our Clients Say
Keith Edelman
“Dear Robert,
As you know I am a director of a number of Public Companies with market capitalisations from £70 million to over £800 million these include Thorntons Plc, Safestore Plc, Supergroup Plc and Goals Soccer Centres Plc.
I am also a shareholder in Metrobet where our Financial Accountant walked out and left our financial books and records in disarray and had not completed the updating of our financial accounting system for over eight months. PBS and Robert came into the business and completely transformed our financial records in a matter of months. They worked diligently and without any supervision and completed the task not only in a timely fashion but also in an organised and methodical manner.
Seven months after starting work for us we completed our audit in a satisfactory manner.
I would not hesitate to recommend PBS to anyone as if they can turn our situation which was totally chaotic into the organised result they achieved then it is clear they are both highly professional and and extremely talented.”

“Dear Robert,
It is with great pleasure to provide you with a testimonial. I am a director of Bagelmania Uk that was established in late 1999 to develop and operate a chain of exciting retail catering outlets under the brand name bagelmania providing bagels, deli sandwiches and gourmet coffee. The first two sites at Market Place W1 and Lexington Street W1 were secured in late 1999 and the company rapidly expanded in acquiring more sites in the following years.
Robert Benveniste of Professional Bookkeeping Services joined us at the very outset when we just moved into our central head office. We were very pleased that we appointed him in joining us in our new venture. Robert was solely responsible in selecting and installing a new Sage accounting software and proceeding in setting up a new accounting system and customising to our specific business.
Our business expanded rapidly and it was of immense help that the accounting side of the business was always well maintained and controlled. Robert was in charge of all the bookkeeping, vat, accounts and payroll.
We found Robert very efficient and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend PBS. Any start-up business and established business will benefit from his vast experience.”

“Dear Robert
As you know, I’m not one to be free with plaudits and commendations. Indeed, perhaps over the many years you’ve been providing book keeping services, it shames me to say that i haven’t thanked you enough for your commitment to provide Beige with 100% reliable and effective book keeping service.
I would like to take the opportunity to say thank you for the services that you have been providing these past several years.
I has to be said, you have always delivered on time and on budget – which is no mean feat considering the troubled times the UK economy has seen.
Importantly, I would have no hesitation in recommending your professional services to others.
We look forward to continuing to work with you.
May your business continue to go from strength to strength.”
Avi Avital
“Dear Robert,
I am the main director and owner of several successful bakeries and coffee shops in London. We started with one bakery in late 1990 in the Hendon area and have now expanded in owning additional bakeries and running several coffee shops.
Robert has been in charge of our bookkeeping and financial accounts for the last 16 years and still with us today always providing an excellent service. He takes care of supervising our accounts assistant, prepares all the vat returns, processes all the payroll and producing management accounts during the year.
The accounts side of the business is very important to us and it is comforting to know we are always in control. We have had several HMRC vat visits over the years and again Robert has attended and fully satisfied their expectations of keeping proper and accurate bookkeeping records.
There have been many instances when it was necessary to work outside the normal working hours to meet certain deadlines or to resolve some urgent situation, Robert has been kind enough and flexible to meet our needs.
We value his professional work attitude and great experience and consider him a good friend and an important person in our organisation. I would not hesitate to recommend PBS.”
