Wood and Disney
have 30 years of experience listening to and advising business owners and directors. If you have a problem we've almost certainly heard it before, can find a business solution and work with you to implement it. We don't just come up with piecemeal business solutions but take a structured approach using a system of health checks, resources and tools we have developed called
Your Journey to Freedom® tried and tested over many decades.
We can prove our financial credentials
- we are qualified Chartered Accountants, Members and Fellows of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales, ICAEW. We are regulated by the ICAEW and have to undergo continuous professional development (CPD) training each and every year to ensure and prove that we are fully up to date with the latest changes in financial standards and laws.
But what about our business credentials? Wood and Disney
are accredited members of the ICAEW Business Advice Service. Anybody who runs a business knows that success in business depends on a lot more than just qualifications and memberships. You need experience, the sort of experience you only get from running a business yourself and exposure to the challenges and pressures that fall on the shoulders of every business owner and manager.
- Wood and Disney
have first hand business experience – not just fresh faced out of uni, going straight into an established accountancy firm; we have real life practical experience of starting, building and running our own businesses. We know how difficult it is establishing and growing a business from first hand experience. Struggles with cashflow and growth, raising finance, getting our marketing mix right, finding and developing staff, we’ve faced all of these difficulties and many more. Nobody, family, friends or government, has ever given us a golden ticket to success – everything we have, we’ve built ourselves through hard work and creating opportunities ourselves.
- Wood and Disney
understand what it’s like to face the pressures of running a business, the worry, the sleepless nights, the feeling of being alone and not sure of the best course of action, working all hours. Working to provide a better future for yourself and those that are important to you. We’ve been there and done it. We’ve made mistakes and learnt from them. We’ve survived through the early 1990’s recession (inflation peaked at 9.5% in 1990, with interest rates hitting a high of 14.8% on Black Wednesday), the 2008 recession (the deepest UK recession since WWII) and the Covid-19 pandemic. We use our experience of running our own businesses and helping our clients through the good times and bad, to make sure that the advice we give you is practical and works so that your business is resilient and thrives.
