Accountants – skills and service levels vary and you need one which can give you the help and support you need.
Bean Counters – Absolutely Not
Here at CBS, we pride ourselves on not just being “bean counters”. We don’t count beans anymore. In fact we’ve worked out much more efficient methods of knowing, and telling you, how many beans are in a pile. If we are more efficient it keeps your costs down when you want to know the number of beans.
Wide ranging expertise
Our intention has been to develop a range of skills, supported by known experts we can call on – to help you operate a successful and profitable business. Just looking at the staff in our office, there are members with expertise in retail, financial services, catering, engineering, travel, marketing, sales, transport, construction – and we could go on.
Independent specialists
Add to this, a team of independent specialists we can call on where needed. Over the past few months we have picked the brains of experts in trusts, employee share ownership, employment law, Construction Industry, IR35, import/export, insolvency, business funding, pensions, Inheritance Tax etc, etc.
Virtually anything you need, we can provide – so long as it is business related of course!
You need help and support pretty quickly when running your business. 3 months, 6 months or even longer is no use to you. Knowing that you can ring someone and get a common sense, practical response, is pretty comforting.
Open Door Support for You
We have always set out to provide that comfort and support. Our “open door” policy means that you can contact us and be confident that you can either immediately speak to someone who can give you a sensible answer or be called back pretty quickly.
You may need to be challenged on some thoughts and ideas. We can act as “devil’s advocate” and help you consider all options.
