Why Use WS Chartered Accountants?

If you are a taxpayer, or one of the many small businesses in Olney, then the answers are simple:

•If you are not currently using an accountant, then it is likely that they can save you more in tax, than you will pay in fees: You would be better off!

•They will keep you compliant, and ensure that you fulfil your obligations, but make the process as smooth and painless as it can be.

•If you are currently using an accountant, then when they take over, WS Accountants will undertake a pro-active review of your affairs, to ensure that everything is being done in the most beneficial way. Changing accountant is a very quick and simple process.

If you are a growing business, then there are a few other important reasons:

Extensive commercial experience: Unlike most practising accountants (who will have trained and then spent their entire career within practice), they have significant commercial experience.

They have run finance functions day-to-day, and have experienced things from your perspective and understand the issues you face. Key is their ability to be forward-looking - not just producers of historical data.

Are you getting time to concentrate on what you’re best at?

Accountants should not just be:

About finance: top people in businesses are not getting the time to concentrate on what they’re best at (doing it and selling it), because they have become too involved in administering their business. A commercially-experienced accountant, like a senior finance executive in your business, can have a powerful effect in relieving this burden.

What exactly are you paying for? Through the running of a virtual office, and the maximum use of technology, WS keep their costs to a minimum. and pass these savings onto you. Using the best industry technology means that processes which many accountants continue to perform manually (and charge you significant fees for), we perform using the latest software. This frees your business to be more successful, and to make sure you get the most benefit from its success.

A member of your team: You should feel that they are a full member of your team, helping to run your business in all but legal name. You should expect input in all financial areas, without the ties or expense of a full-time finance function.

The size of WS Chartered Accountants size allows them to give you the time value you require, and respond when you need them to. As a client, you get your contact’s mobile telephone, not a receptionist. The aim is to be as accessible and responsive as if you were paying their salary.

WS see good communication as crucial.
