What we do and how we do it
Business services
Financial and Consultancy
Every organization needs to prepare accounts periodically. The lack of accurate up to date financial records can have a disastrous effect on the efficiency of your organization as well as limiting the ability to plan for the future. In an increasingly regulated business environment systems to ensure compliance are essential.
Our services include accounts preparation, bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll, setting up computerised accounting systems and establishing management information systems. We can also assist in reducing your risk to credit exposure.
If you have an existing accountant or solicitor we are not seeking to disturb those relationships but to assist you in reducing costs, becoming more efficient and freeing up your valuable time to develop your business.
Business development
From our experience many SME's do not have the resources to engage an internal finance or business development director and often look to their professional advisers for advice in these areas. This was apparent from business start-ups and continued, more often than not, with just an annual meeting to discuss accounts and advise on their tax position. Consequently the relationship mainly addressed "historic" issues. We offer a pro-active service by having the knowledge and experience to assist you in planning and implementing a business strategy.
We see our involvement starting at the earliest phase and continuing throughout your development. Our role can be either on an ad hoc basis or as non executive directors providing support, guidance, planning and review enabling the business to best achieve its goals.
We can advise on your business structure, preparing business plans, sourcing finance, advice on commercial and legal matters, reviewing, preparing and analysing management information, budgets and cash flow forecasts and on ways to make your business more efficient as well as planning an exit strategy.
Start-Ups
Having decided the business you want to develop you may be daunted by the administration, bureaucracy and various legal structures that your business may need.
We can guide and assist you through the various processes, alleviating these burdens to give you the time to focus on developing your business.
It was great to find people who were genuinely interested in understanding my business and who gave me a fresh focus
