Today’s business market is complex, fast moving and highly competitive, Managing any business today is tough…and getting tougher. Every industry is over-served and under-differentiated. We’re all faced with more demanding customers, more and stronger competition, disruptive innovation and shrinking margins. On top of that, great staff are hard to find and keep…and that problem won’t go away any time soon. So, mediocrity is no longer an option. Running a business properly is incredibly hard work. But not running it properly is incredibly costly in lost revenue, missed opportunity and personal stress. And, yet, proactively ‘running the business’ is, at best, a low-priority, part-time activity for many business owners. Every industry is changing and every market is being disrupted. What does that look like in your market or industry? Will you be the disruptor or the victim of disruption?

You seem to offer a lot. Are your fees expensive?
No! We offer fixed fees linked to the value of what we provide. We’re not always the cheapest and as with many things in life the cheapest is often the most expensive in the long run. However, we are not expensive and we offer excellent value for what we provide. Most importantly we never undertake work without agreeing the fee arrangements in advance so you always know where you stand.

How easy is it to change accountants and why should I change?
If your existing accountant is offering you an excellent pro-active service at a fair fee then stick with them. However, different accountants will save you different amounts of tax and provide different levels of business advice. If your present accountant doesn’t offer the type of service you want and that we do offer, then changing over to us is very easy. It involves just one letter from you and we take care of everything else for you. Your existing accountant is not usually allowed to charge you for providing the normal handover information
-
Is your fixed quote guaranteed for more than one year?
We’re not in the business of providing low quotes just to get your business for the first year and then raising the fees. We want you as a long term client who trusts us to do what we say we will do. We quote what we anticipate to be a fair fee for the value provided and would only anticipate normal inflationary increases if the work stays the same. Very occasionally there may be reasons why the amount of work involved exceeded what was expected but we would sit down and discuss these with you. In some cases, where it is clear exactly what work is involved we can guarantee the fee for more than one year.
