Appointing an accountant should be an investment in your business


Peter Disney

Your accountant must have TIME to invest in your business.

TIME

TIME – this, we believe is the big difference. If you look at different accountancy firms’ websites, they will all state the compliance and tax services they offer, the business advice they will give you, how they will help you grow your business and make a myriad of other promises. When you have a meeting with them before you choose who to appoint, they will promise you, with good intention, business advice and support. BUT, to deliver on their promises they need TIME.


If an accountant has 1000 clients, how can they possibly find the TIME to develop a deep understanding of your business and your personal situation and challenges? If they quote you a low price, then how can they afford to deliver a quality service? To build a close relationship with you? To give you pro-active advice?


Most accountants have a business model based on maximising the number of clients they have, to maximise turnover and profits. They will quote an attractive fee to gain your business, to add you to their client base, with the intention of delivering on the promises of business advice and support they make but in reality are unable to give you the TIME needed to fulfill their promises. To cover their costs and make a profit at the fees they quote, it’s a numbers game. Lower fees mean more clients are needed to deliver a profit, which in turn means less TIME per client, hence less advice and support.

Why is Wood and Disney's quote often more expensive than others?

Time costs money. That is why Wood and Disney is not the cheapest quote you will receive. We do not have a business model based on maximising the number of clients. We are up-front that we only work for Ambitious Entrepreneurs. We work with clients who are serious about building a successful, resilient business for the long term. Clients who work with us, in partnership, to grow their business, achieve their goals, and build resilient, sustainable businesses. Because, with Wood and Disney, you are investing in your business not just paying for a set of accounts you are investing in:

TIME to get to know you and your business

Wood and Disney take the TIME to personally get to know all our clients and their businesses so that we understand each client’s unique situation and challenges. We visit their business premises. We respond promptly to their questions. We hold review meetings with most of our clients quarterly if not monthly. We are available to talk through their problems and are a sounding board for their ideas. We take the TIME to build trust and confidence. 

TIME to deliver quality

Our clients invest in the TIME Wood and Disney spend thoroughly analysing their issues, conducting research into their problems, and developing comprehensive solutions.  Rushing through client business problems can lead to superficial advice, missed opportunities, and ultimately costs you money. It can lead to errors, omissions in your accounts, tax returns and financial affairs which, with fines and penalties, can prove extremely expensive. Plus, it can lead to costly mistakes if you make decisions based on inaccurate or completely wrong financial data. By investing in Wood and Disney you are buying the TIME and expertise, that Wood and Disney take with each individual client to deliver accurate financial data and high-quality, tailored solutions that effectively address each client’s individual needs to achieve their personal, desired outcomes.

TIME to deliver proactive advice

When you appoint Wood and Disney you won’t just hear from us once or twice a year when your final accounts are due or at tax return time. Investing in Wood and Disney means that we have the TIME to regularly actively engage with our clients, providing ongoing proactive support and guidance. We monitor progress, anticipate potential obstacles, and adjusting strategies as needed. We work with our clients to set financial, business and personal goals, which we support them in achieving with proactive advice based on a foundation of in-depth knowledge of their business, and unique challenges.

TIME to deliver success

Building a successful business requires TIME, it doesn't happen overnight. To build a thriving, resilient business you need a strong foundation, to overcome challenges, and continuously improve. Wood and Disney help our clients throughout their journey. For some, we are there at the beginning, making sure that their new business gets the best possible start, grows and thrives. Other clients come to us when their business lacks direction, has ceased to grow or has started to decline. We help them reboot their business, find a renewed vision and drive them back on to the road of long term sustainable success. Others come to us when they have hit a challenge of which there are a myriad of examples. We help them identify the root cause of their business problems and come up with strategies and solutions to get them out of trouble and set them back on the road to success. When you appoint Wood and Disney, you are investing in the TIME we commit to you to deliver sustainable success.

Appointing Wood and Disney is investing in your future

The EXPERTISE and TIME we devote to our clients, is not cheap. Wood and Disney limit the number of clients we take on so that we can dedicate TIME to each client. That’s the Wood and Disney way. We are rarely the cheapest option, but we are the best investment you will ever make in your business!
