Want to achieve more from your business but lack the time to review performance? Perhaps you’re missing the skills to prepare the base analysis to give you the feedback you need.
Let us help you! From reporting results to interpreting them and training management to identify and correct performance issues and trends, we offer a range of services that are tailored to your exact needs.
Alternatively, your business is just growing, and the finance function is one that is getting too big and complex for you. You can outsource part or all of it. We can help take the strain, including assisting you with dealing with banking intermediaries and the need for more timely and informed management reporting and identification of working capital issues and trends.
Is your business delivering what you set out to achieve? Do you find yourself working in the business rather than working on the business?
Maybe, you need some help taking your business where you want it to go.
We can help you set goals, plan for growth and monitor performance, freeing you to focus on delivering the strategy.
Perhaps it is time to reap the rewards of years of blood, sweat and tears. We can help you prepare the business for sale to maximise your return.
Do you need help with monitoring the performance and development of your business?
Perhaps you would like someone else to report back regularly on what is happening to the business profitability and cash generation whilst providing proactive commercial advice as part of the process?
We can help! We specialise in the delivery of high-level commercial advice, generated from a wide-ranging platform of industry knowledge and experience.
Our Managing Director, Gary Raven, is an experienced Executive Board participant and has undertaken various commercial interim management assignments and Non-Executive Director engagements. He is also a regularly recommended contact with several of the main Clearing Banks for turnaround, restructuring and financial duties.
When it comes to training, we offer a range of programmes covering various applications. These include basic bookkeeping, using and maximising the benefits of Xero and Sage 50 desktop, cloud-based accounting software and payroll operations.
If you would like to organise some bespoke training for you or your staff, please contact us.
In these challenging financial times, the need for accurate and timely reporting to the main banks is increasingly a requirement in order to secure ongoing working capital support.
We specialise in handling such reporting assignments, working with management to support the process and ultimately engaging with the financier directly to manage their requirements.
Tired of the accounting function? Do you require support when dealing with queries from staff, customers, suppliers and financial intermediaries?
We offer a bespoke outsourcing service. This can include everything from posting the base accounting ledgers to reconciling statements and dealing with customer/supplier queries. We can also offer credit control and timely, accurate reporting of your business profitability.
The costs for this bespoke service compare favourably to running an in-house accounting division.
Not sure how we can do it? Talk to us. We have many clients who have asked the same questions before outsourcing, and they would never go back to in-house accounting.
Worried about record keeping? Do you simply wish to utilise valuable time and skills elsewhere?
Whatever the reason, we offer a cost-effective and competitive bookkeeping quote that covers your day-to-day accounting chores. This includes ensuring that the quarterly VAT return is accurately collated and submitted on time.
We offer various solutions, allowing you to choose whether we work on your site or at ours or both!
We work with various accounting resources, allowing you to choose whether we use your software, our bureau software or cloud-based systems.
Talk to us and we will develop a system to suit you.
Do you receive accurate monthly or quarterly reports that let you know how your business is doing?
Does the bank or other financial intermediary need information to support their funding support?
Why not outsource your management accounting requirements? It is often significantly cheaper than employing someone in-house and comes with guaranteed confidentiality!
We employ former financial controllers and directors, who are experienced in understanding the needs of your business. They only work on producing relevant, timely management information. This allows you to focus on the results of the business with the confidence that you are working with accurate numbers to base future strategies upon.
Additionally, your statutory accounting costs are substantially reduced!

Many people see their business as their retirement plan. Their business needs to provide the capital and/or income to support their post-work ambitions.
Have you considered how the business can operate without you? Are you key to the business, so much so that without you the business may contract, even fail? If this is the case, then a succession plan needs to be developed in order to maximise the most important business valuation enhancer, that of underlying profit sustainability and hence goodwill.
Time to exit? You need to maximise the value of the business but also minimise the tax bill that follows!
We have substantial experience in helping clients sell their businesses. This covers preparing the business for sale, developing a Sale Memorandum, marketing the business confidentially and appraising the potentially interested parties, guiding the business owner through the process to delivery of the reward for years of sweat and tears.
If you are thinking about selling your business, either now or in the future, talk to us! We will help you maximise your returns.

Advisory and Business Planning
Every business needs at least one senior individual to work on the business, not just in it.
Many key figures struggle to find the valuable time they need to work on their business strategies and aspirations in the way they would like to. Worse still, they often lack the quality, timely and reliable information they need to understand what is happening to their business. If that resonates with you, then we could help.
Barrons offers a full suite of bespoke services which can be tailored to you and your business. The focus of these services is to enable us to maximise your support.
Let us share the strain! We’ll assume responsibility for valuable reporting and advice through a team framework that supports you through the peaks and troughs of business.
We can help you set goals and plans for growth. We’ll then monitor performance to lead you to your aspirations.
Our service offering is wide-ranging, extending to a full outsourced service, or succession planning. No matter what service we are delivering, we never forget the importance of working with you to understand your personal and business objectives and their unique relationship to the overall strategy.
