We hear from Managing Director, Geoff Taylor, about how Pentlands step up through challenging times.
“Pentlands have been providing AEB International with accountancy and business
advice for over 10 years. If you think about it completely transactionally, we work
with Pentlands for year-end auditing and advise throughout the year when we
need it. They do that well, but that’s what I’d expect from an accountant. However,
it’s in those moments where your backs against the wall that you see the real value
in the partnership.
I know Pentlands will step up and I can rely on them. This was more than evident in the
rapid response to Covid disruptions. Due to the immediate level of uncertainty, we felt
we needed to act quickly to stabilise cash flow. With Pentlands input, within a few days,
I was able to build a compelling case that resulted in the approval of a significant CBILS.
I don’t think I could have asked for better assistance from both Taz and Elinor. Their
support, guidance and education at that time was tremendous. As a Managing Director,
when you are facing those significant challenges, it is quite a lonely place and the weight
is on your shoulders. I felt the support from Pentlands eased that burden. I was able to
sleep at night knowing that I had a cash facility in place to see us through. Having that
comfort and freedom to act was critical.
We have a complex business structure, therefore our relationship with Pentlands is
important. Trust and understanding are essential. If that isn’t there for you, it may be
painful in the short term, but it will be much more beneficial in the long term to change
accountants. I wouldn’t have any problem recommending Pentlands to any organisation
who are considering that move.”
