Anthony at Beech provides the services of an in-house accountant at a fraction of the cost. He helps with everything from credit control, through to annual budgeting, monthly performance analysis and year end accounts and tax.
“I would like to place on record my sincere gratitude to Mark Leece and his team for all the sterling work they do. My knowledge of payroll matters could be written on a postage stamp and Mark and his team take care of absolutely everything including auto enrolment. He is always available for advice and is an absolute godsend !”
“Beech were excellent when they stepped in to support on a transition for our Management Accountant who was retiring. Over a 3 month rigorous and often complex handover they moved our system onto cloud based package Xero, giving the management team access to real time information. As a charity it is critical that we manage our funding and performance very carefully in line with legislation and business planning. We rely on Beech to prepare our monthly pack and Jo attends monthly board meetings, providing a valuable sounding board and critical friend approach helping us give future direction to the business.”
“Accurate financial information is critical to the successful running of our business. Beech, through Jo, produce accurate and timely monthly management accounts. David always highlights anomalies to expectation and helps us to make proactive and informed decisions.”
“When we got the opportunity to expand the Retreat brand to open a new restaurant, Beech helped us with our business plan and prepared cashflow projections which enabled us to secure the necessary funding to support the deal. They also formed a new company and advised on the registration for VAT etc “
“The main benefit of our partnership with Beech is that, with their support and advice, we have the knowledge to make confident business decisions. They have been a great help with our recent expansion of both shops and product lines. Jo produces a monthly pack explaining in detail departmental performance in comparison to previous year and budget. Chris attends monthly meetings to discuss the results and challenge us on the way forward.”
“We have been working with Philip and the Beech team for many years and they are an extension of our finance team.
Management accounts are produced monthly to department level, which are then reviewed in monthly board meetings with Phil to make sure we are moving in the right direction “
