Five ways WoodWhite Accountants can help your business reach the next level

September can be a productive month for many. An extended break over the summer, lots of sunshine (usually), and there is that association with the start of a new academic year. It’s also closing in on the final quarter of the year. It feels like an opportune time to reflect on progress over the last 12 months, refresh those goals and boost focus on key projects in the run up to Christmas.

If business growth has slowed or you are frustrated with a lack of progress towards your goals, now is a good time to explore how advisors to your company can help you get back on track.

Stagnated growth isn’t necessarily a fault of those leading the business. In our experience, we see this happen to many ambitious companies; it’s a natural part of the entrepreneurial journey. It only causes harm if the company lacks an overall goal or direction to head. It those circumstances the company can easily drift unintentionally, sometimes into markets it lacks engagement with.

As accountants to forward thinking businesses, our team is well versed and experienced in helping those businesses to get back on track and close in on those goals. Here’s how we support ambitious businesses with a renewed sense of aspiration.

1. Giving you an external perspective.
We look at where you currently are in relation to where you want to be. We can review how you have financially planned and managed so far, and what that management has resulted in. We can help spot the gaps in your financial planning and look at potential opportunities you may not have known were available.

2. Reporting in real time.
One of the most valuable abilities you can have as a director is being able to make decisions about your business in real time. Your annual accountants are important from a compliance perspective, but they are a historic snapshot of your business. We can set up reports to track performance and accurately measure where you are today. Perfect for decision making and keep up motivation.

3. Structuring the business to accommodate growth.
There are milestones in your company’s journey where reviewing how the company is structured from a legal and tax perspective is pivotal to maintaining growth. Often the company must be structured in a such a way that it accommodates the growth you are planning to achieve. Your team doesn’t need to be an expert in the legal, financial or taxation aspects of running a business – that’s our role as your advisors. We will ensure that the company is structured in the most tax efficient way.

4. Checking technology is fit for purpose.
The right technology in your business can accelerate growth, just as outdated and misaligned systems can slow it down. Understanding your goals and ambitions, our accountants can provide systems advice and even run digital health checks to ensure that your systems are running efficiently.

5. A genuine extension of your business.
We are proud of our long-standing reputation for providing excellent advice, service and support to growing businesses. Clients choose us, and work with us on a long-term basis, because we genuinely care about their business and where it’s going… just as much as the directors themselves. We take a keen interest in the business and work hard to create a relationship where our team is simply an extension of your business. This supports excellent communication and allows us to continually add value.
