Considering an Exit? Let’s Get You Ready

Most businesses that come to us aren’t unhappy with their accountant — they’ve just outgrown them. If you’re getting a set of accounts once a year and not much else, you’re not getting the full picture. We offer proactive advice, regular contact and a team that understands where your business is heading, not just where it’s been.

An audit is an independent examination of your financial statements to verify they’re accurate and compliant. You’re legally required to have one if you meet two of three criteria: turnover over £10.2m, assets over £5.1m, or more than 50 employees. Some businesses also choose a voluntary audit to satisfy investors, lenders or larger clients. We’ll tell you honestly whether you need one.

Honestly, from day one — but most businesses only realise this when something goes wrong or an opportunity passes them by. If your turnover is growing, you’re taking on staff, or you’re starting to think about the future of the business, you need more than a set of accounts once a year. Regular management information, proactive tax planning and someone who picks up the phone before the deadline — that’s when an accountant starts earning their fee properly.

The businesses that get the most from us treat us like a business partner, not a compliance function. That means sharing your plans early, asking questions beyond the numbers, and meeting regularly rather than just at year end. We’re most useful when we know what you’re trying to do next.
