Accountants and Advisors for growing businesses

WORKING WITH PENTLANDS MEANS I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY

Like many businesses, I had seen a downturn in business due to the Covid pandemic. Pentlands were there to provide much needed advice and I was able to secure a 100% grant and business bounce back loan.

I value Pentlands expertise. Accounting and tax is a minefield and Pentlands are a godsend. I don’t need to worry; they do everything, giving me the time to focus on my business.

“When making plans to establish Arno Acoustics, I wanted to be able to hit the ground running and I knew that an investment in a good accountant was going to be essential to the successful growth of the business.

It was my aim from the outset to be able to operate efficiently, improve project management and processes across the life cycle of projects.

Pentlands had been strongly recommended by one of their existing clients. Following my first meeting, I knew that I didn’t have to meet any other accountants as I was confident Pentlands could provide the support I needed.

They took the time to understand my business and the types of projects we deliver. With the support of the Pentlands team, everything is efficient and streamlined. We have reviewed processes efficiencies, project overspend and where to make improvements utilising Xero software solutions.

Within the first year, I saw significant demand for my services and knew I needed to recruit some additional support. Pentlands reviewed the management accounts, cash-flow and future projects projection and confirmed that I was in a good position to employ someone. I am not sure I would have had the confidence to go for it without their advice.

Like many businesses I had seen a downturn in business due to the Covid pandemic. Pentlands were there to provide much needed advice. They informed me of financial support available to Arno and as a result I was able to secure a 100% grant and business bounce-back loan. This has enabled me to continue with my business growth projections, keeping the Arno team in employment and investing in the development of my marketing strategies and website.

The Pentlands team have complete control of my accounting needs. They are very proactive. As a small business owner I need to prioritise my time, so I am reassured when I am contacted by them when something requires action.

I value Pentlands’ expertise. Accounting and tax is a minefield and Pentlands are a godsend. I don’t need to worry; they do everything, giving me the time to focus on growing my business.”
