“I’ve worked with Grey Matter for the past couple of years in a financial analysis context, and have consistently been impressed by the quality of offering. The content itself is well packaged and detailed, including not only theory but practical application and case studies. Grey Matter has always been willing to customise content such that it is appropriate to audience, including working with our dealmakers to craft case studies that are relevant and topical. In terms of delivery, Grey Matter trainers are passionate and expert facilitators. Grey Matter delivers complex content in a way that it is simple and easily grasped by delegates. Grey Matter is also able to answer nuanced, more sophisticated questions with clarity given their extensive knowledge and expertise in the field.”

“Grey Matter managed to make the complicated interaction between tax and accounting totally accessible and enjoyable to all our staff members, eliciting overwhelmingly positive feedback and thanks. The training was specifically customised to our circumstances and needs and displayed a depth of industry knowledge and practical application that is invaluable in ensuring success in our day-to-day operations. We would not hesitate recommending Grey Matter and especially Richard Cohen as our go-to trainer in the financial services sector.”
