For many of our SME clients, we’re more than accountants. We’re trusted business partners.
We have received fantastic care, from the most junior members of their team, through to partner level. Working with Hazlewoods has enabled us to take our business to the next level because their professional service has given me more time to focus on other areas of the business.
Hazlewoods offered me professional, expert advice with everything from book-keeping, year-end compliance, VAT returns, and simplifying excel so that I can spend more time focusing on the business itself.
I can’t speak highly enough of the team at Hazlewoods, they are very responsive with their ongoing support as we continue to understand the benefit of transitioning to Xero.”
We really appreciate their ability to think outside the box to make our business work better – something we just don’t have the time to do as a small company.”
Background: PRB Systems (UK) provides advanced rendering systems for the modern home. This family-owned business has grown 40% over the past year alone, testament to their high-quality service and product. Here Ryan Hill, Managing Director at PRB Systems, speaks about his experience working with Kate Edginton, Senior Manager in the Business Solutions team at Hazlewoods.
How we helped: “We were growing at a pace that exceeded the knowledge of our previous accountant, and we required expert advice during this demanding phase of growth. Hazlewoods offered me professional, expert advice with everything from bookkeeping, year-end compliance, VAT returns, but also Kate was brilliant at actually walking me through how to use Xero more efficiently to process purchase orders and invoices, and simplifying excel so that I can spend more time focusing on the business itself. Additionally, Hazlewoods advised on how best to set up an employee share scheme that was most suitable to our company structure.”
Background: Turner Swim are a provider of adult learn to swim lessons in first class hotel swimming pools and open water locations across London, Manchester and Glasgow. Founder Andrew Turner explains how Hazlewoods helped his growing business.
How we helped:
“Before joining Hazlewoods a huge amount of my time and energy was spent in keeping our accounts up to date. At Hazlewoods they really understand our business model and what is and isn’t needed from an accounts view point. I can rest knowing that I won’t suddenly get an urgent request to do something last minute, as there is routine pattern to the Hazelwoods methodology. The biggest change is the peace of mind that I get from knowing Hazlewoods are keeping our accounts in good working order. Working with Hazlewoods has enabled us to take our business to the next level because their professional service has given me more time to focus on other areas of the business.“
What does the future hold for Turner Swim?
“We are currently looking to expand through offering franchise opportunities at Turner Swim, so others can run their own Turner Swim business, teaching one-to-one adult swimming lessons in hotel locations.”
Background: Transitioning to a cloud accounting platform can seem daunting, but the benefits can be transformative for a business. Tom Beasley, CEO of charity Active Gloucestershire, explains how the Hazlewoods Business Solutions team guided him through the process.
How we helped: “They spent time with our team to truly understand what was important to them and how they would like to report their data, and built bespoke reports within Xero to reflect what we needed as a charity. Our team can now interrogate and view live reports as and when they need to and our engagement with the finance aspect of their roles is much stronger now that they have been trained on Xero.
Using an automated, web-based programme also means that our cyber security and resilience is improved.”
