“Stock taking was a nightmare and we kept everything on spreadsheets until we spoke to the team. Switching over to Xero was an easy process.”

“One of my previous headaches was always the absence of reliable management information and that often consumed my time unnecessarily. Since working with the team, they have implemented new systems, enhanced existing systems and they provide information on a monthly basis which is accurate and clearly communicated. This allows me to spend time doing what I should be doing.

Combine that with their sector expertise, knowledge and professionalism we would have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone.”

“We’ve always found the team to be responsive, helpful, and proactive in suggesting ways for us to improve our processes. In particular, we have been happy with the move from Sage to Xero, which has made our lives much easier as we grow our business.”

“As our accountants and advisors, the Smart Accountants have always been on hand to support our business but recently they helped the sale of our business to an Employee Ownership Trust. Ultimately this transaction helped us with obtaining a fair price for the business, ensuring long-term succession, and rewarding our employees. The team supported us from the very initial advice and planning stage right through to the implementation and were on hand to offer their expertise throughout.”

“We recently explored our succession routes with UHY and ultimately, transitioning to an EOT with their assistance was the most attractive route. The key reasons behind this were it allowed us to retain our independence by not selling to a competitor, provide control to our founders over when and how to exit the business, and the ability to combine the EOT with EMI share option schemes. Of course, our staff were also a key reason and the EOT allowed us to reward them without them having to buy shares with their own funds and to increase engagement through this sense of ownership. Throughout the process, UHY were able to offer expert EO advice, which combined with their understanding of our business and partners to take care of the legal side, made the whole implementation process very smooth.”
