The Real Value Lies in Unlocking the Big Picture

"I have always thought a good question trumps great advice. And that is why Evans & Co are so successful in what they do best - creating value for their clients. I love my conversations with Jane - she really challenges me, gets me thinking. Asks searching questions. They often start with a ‘why’ and sometimes I am still thinking about a single question weeks and sometimes months later. Sure the annual accounts and tax advice are important and they are very good at that. But where the real value lies in unlocking the big picture - the strategy, clear thinking to clearly define objectives and goals and providing a support structure to help achieve these."

- Guy & Vic McLean
