RFMW is a global provider of specialised radio frequency, microwave, and power management components. Established in the United States in 1999, the business operates on a global scale, with its UK operations based in Lincoln. RFMW appointed Duncan & Toplis to provide accounting and audit services for the UK business.
Duncan & Toplis has supported RFMW’s external audit requirements since 2022, building on a professional relationship that dates back more than a decade. Carl Murton, Finance Director at RFMW, comments:
“Duncan & Toplis has supported our external audit requirements since 2022. As an authorised distributor for component manufacturers, RFMW provides customers with access to leading engineers and high-quality technical solutions in the radio frequency and microwave sector.”
For the past five years, Duncan & Toplis has delivered the annual external audit for RFMW’s UK entity, spending two to three weeks on-site as part of a wider engagement that spans several months each year. The annual audit process typically begins in February, with reporting and recommendations delivered in May.
In addition to audit services, Duncan & Toplis manages payroll for RFMW’s UK team of more than 25 employees over the same period. Payroll is a function that requires a high level of trust and accuracy, particularly within a growing organisation, and has remained a key part of the ongoing relationship.
As an international organisation, RFMW requires close coordination across borders. Duncan & Toplis works collaboratively with its overseas accountants in Germany.
“I have always found the team [at Duncan & Toplis] to be friendly, professional, and highly knowledgeable,” adds Carl. “We value their pragmatic approach and appreciate their consideration of our priorities and internal workflows. I would especially commend the support we received during a particularly complex audit involving a foreign subsidiary, delivered against a hugely challenging timeline.”
With RFMW continuing to expand across the UK, anchored by its Lincoln operation, the relationship with Duncan & Toplis remains an important part of supporting that growth.
“I would not hesitate to recommend Duncan & Toplis,” Carl concludes.
