Business advice services

At Alexander Accountancy we pride ourselves upon looking beyond the figures at the client business strategies and structures. Appreciating how a business operates, what its aims are and how the current activities can be altered to achieve those aims. It means getting to know the business and the owners at a deeper level and fully understanding where they want to be in the future.

Who can benefit?

Our business advice services mainly benefit businesses that are ambitious, those that are struggling to make the progress they want, or those that simply want another set of expertise to sense check their plans and use as a sounding board. It can be driven by a lack of knowledge, appreciation that Alexander Accountancy has already travelled that road, or seeing this as a cost effective way of sharing the burden of decision making.

Key benefits:
At Alexander Accountancy we offer a service which effectively engages another senior person to help work on the client business without having to give away a share of the business ownership. The business effectively recruits a huge amount of knowledge, experience and expertise at minimal cost or risk, with no long term ties or issues.

Main outcomes:
The key output we offer is delivering the outcomes that are wanted by the customer. The outcomes could be almost anything, so the first step is to identify these in detail. The process is delivered through a series of meetings that will be bespoke to each client.

Alexander Accountancy’s process:
This is not a prescribed service so there is no set process or timeline. The aim will be to help deliver the outcomes identified at the start of the process.

Our expertise:
This service is mainly based on years of knowledge and experience, having grown both our own business and several client businesses, from a concept to £1m+ concerns. At Alexander Accountancy we have walked the walk from start to finish, not just read text books and joined the journey part way through.

How we overcome popular misconceptions:
There is a misconception that only people who have achieved at the corporate level know how businesses work. Whereas the challenges at the small business level where there is a lack of financial support and resources, can be quite different to those in the corporate world where answers often revolve around borrowing, investments and employing the relevant expertise.
