Our approach

We’re proud of our personal service. Getting to know you and your business means we can provide the right advice at the right time. We take away the stress and worry of looking after your accounts so you can get on with running your business.

COVID-19 and the next phase

The easing of the Government lockdown restrictions since early July have had a welcome but limited effect on both business and society generally.  The latest Government advice contains the rather mixed message that whilst employees should work from home if they can, from 1 August employers should bring their staff back to work where safe to do so.  Whilst the worst of the coronavirus pandemic may be over, in the UK at least, no-one is now expecting it to be “business as usual” until well into next year. 

Keeping in touch

Keeping our staff, clients and contacts healthy is our top priority.  Whilst we are still striving to deliver a high-quality and responsive service we have implemented a number of changes:

• We are asking all clients to plan ahead with your requests, contacting us by email or telephone first before calling in at our offices.  This includes making arrangements to collect/deliver paperwork.
• Where possible, holding meetings by telephone conference calls or by Teams/Zoom if your technology allows this.
• Where face-to-face meetings are absolutely necessary, observing all our safe working practices on social distancing and the use of sanitisers.
• And of course, do not under any circumstances, visit our offices if you or a member of your household has a new and continuous cough, high temperature or loss of your sense of smell or taste.

For the moment, our offices are open Monday – Thursday only and are closed on Friday each week.  Our Partners, however, remain contactable by email/mobile on that day.

Considerable uncertainty remains, but as you take a fresh look at your business here are some ways we can help you:

• We have accumulated significant expertise in the intricacies of furloughed employees, through running over 150 payrolls each month for our clients.  It is a complex and time-consuming task we would be happy to do for you.
• We can help you navigate your way through the numerous Government measures of financial support.
• Assistance with revising your business model through a landscape that may well have changed forever.

-        business planning and strategy

-        budgets and forecasting

-        changes in your business structure, particularly as regards premises, employees, IT and your supply chain

-        tax aspects of any of these changes

• Staying informed and up-to-date.  The daily stream of announcements from the Government, HMRC, regulatory bodies and others is endless.  We can provide you with the necessary guidance and support where needed.

It will not be “business as usual” for any of us for the foreseeable future but rest assured, looking after our clients remains at the centre of everything we do. 

Please contact your usual engagement partner or manager with any concerns or queries you have.
