What were the circumstances that caused you to look for an accountant?My business recently experienced a period of tough trading. I approached Lucinda to discuss options for the business.
How did Lucinda Matkin help you?Lucinda provided advice on both a CVA and a CVL. She compared pros and cons of both with me, across several phone calls and emails, recommending a CVL as it would provide the best outcome and the highest chance of creditor approval.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?She helped wind the business up and enter a CVL, explaining every step to me clearly and concisely.
What could they have done better?Very little in my personal opinion. She was patient and supportive with me, as the CVL was emotionally a hard choice for me to make, and as previously stated was very clear with everything.

What were the circumstances that caused you to look for an accountant?
As a sole trader and following prolonged family illness and bereavement, the business suffered and I needed help in saving my business from bankruptcy.
How did Lucinda Matkin help you?
Lucinda presented all of the various options in the simplest terms enabling me to make an informed decision in taking on an IVA. From the onset Lucinda has provided the highest level and support, her patience and understanding have been second to none. The information she has given me has been excellent and I am able to pick up the phone at any time to answer any questions. She has made the whole process as pain free and straight forward as it could possibly be.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Comprehensive documentation has been submitted by Lucinda on my behalf and we look forward to a favourable outcome.
What could they have done better?
Nothing … her support and expertise have been exemplary.

OTHER TESTIMONIALS
A Debtor, IVA Client
“ I approached Lucinda at LM Insolvency when I got into financial difficulty. I found Lucinda's calm and professional approach very reassuring and she put me at ease very quickly and sorted out a path for me to take that was affordable and effective. This helped me move forward with my life and put a very dark period behind me. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough”

Sue English, Addington Fund
"Addington Fund has referred beneficiaries to LM Insolvency and with Lucinda’s understanding of agriculture and genuine passion to achieve the best result for all parties involved in a financial crisis, and in a sympathetic manner, we have had feedback that her advice has been clear, concise and beneficial.
In this world where so many people seem to look out for themselves, we have found Lucinda’s approach a breath of fresh air and would certainly recommend that anyone facing insolvency speaks to her straight away, as she may just come up with options that could prevent it".
Terry Grant, Sibbalds Chartered Accountants
"We have worked with Lucinda many times since she set up LM Insolvency & Advisory Ltd and we continue to do so. Lucinda has dealt with both MVL’s and CVL’s for us and her advice has always been prompt and comprehensive.
Clients we have introduced to Lucinda are impressed with her knowledge, her ability to get things done and the outcomes she has managed to achieve for them.
All in all we have been very happy to be able to call on Lucinda to assist us in the complex area of turnaround, restructuring and insolvency and we regard Lucinda as a highly valued, trusted professional".
Murray Macnab, Director at Ellis Fermor & Negus (Solicitors)
"We have been working together since the Practice started on a variety of projects mostly where Lucinda has been able to secure a future for the relevant business through a process.
It is vital for this sort of fast-moving work that a professional adviser, such as us, has the necessary conductive relationship with the Practitioner and I can confirm that it has been a pleasure to work with Lucinda.
She is also rare in having the mix of skills and experience to be able to balance the necessary interests of stakeholders and even go further than her strict appointment may require to facilitate and successfully achieve a good outcome in the circumstances. This has often resulted in securing employment for staff and continued service for customers.
She is very well connected, and this helps to put together solutions as required. We have been involved in projects located in several parts of the East Midlands and for a variety of business including estate lettings/management through to security services and retail. She is also always ahead of the trends looking at changing legal and commercial environment and the impact on her Practice and the clients and creditors she is involved with”.
Farmer, Advisory Client
“Lucinda was initially instructed to review the performance of our farm on behalf of the bank. It was refreshing to deal with a professional that really understood farming (and that didn’t treat cattle like buying and selling widgets). Lucinda chose not to accept the insolvency appointment but continued to support us through the process at our request. It was extremely valuable to have her to confide in, and help us through the insolvency process, but her farming knowledge (of cattle welfare, tenant farms, farming wages and much more) made this so easy and her so approachable and understanding of the situation. Her knowledge of farming compared to those appointed administrators was extremely evident and as a result placed us in an extremely strong position in negotiations. I would certainly want Lucinda on my side, and highly recommend her on any insolvency but especially for those in the farming industry”.
