How can Wood and Disney help you Build a Better Future for you and your business.

What do we mean by "Build Better Futures"?

Wood and Disney are a tech savvy firm of chartered accountants who focus on building a better future for our clients, their families, their teams and their communities by giving jargon-free, pragmatic, best practice business advice.

Our purpose of Building Better Futures is not just directed at businesses. It has a personal focus too. Once your business is generating the profit and reserves it needs to survive into the long term, we can then help you achieve your personal goals. Whether that is simply greater wealth or earlier retirement, to give your children the best education, to support elderly relatives in care, to give back to your community or allow you to leave a lasting legacy.

We use our skills with numbers and experience in business to make a real difference to our clients’ lives knowing that as business owners you cannot rely on the government to look after you and therefore you are driven to achieve financial freedom in whatever form it represents for you.

Building Assets

Building Better Futures by its very nature requires the creation of assets. The most successful people focus first on creating an asset within their businesses. They know that their business needs to be successful before they can reap the benefits of that success personally. That business success is dependent on building their business assets whether that is intellectual property, tangible assets, the best team, the best systems or perhaps the most important for long term survival, CASH.

Building Resilience

Recessions occur regularly every decade or so, but the survival rate of small businesses is staggering with 20% failing in the first year, 60% failing within five years and less than 30% still being in business after ten years. This is backed up by Companies House data which tells us that the average age of UK companies is just 8.5 years and over 72% of the register are under ten years old.

So, when we talk about Building Better Futures our vision is:

To defy the norm of business failure statistics and help 100% of our clients not only survive more than 10 years but also create a genuine asset to pass on to another generation.

An analysis of our own company client base shows that at the time of writing the average age is 12.89 years and that 71.43% are over 10 years old.

Practical Proactive Business Advice that works!

Wood and Disney have achieved an excellent success rate because we have a structured system, a framework of inter-related processes created over the last 30 years, to STRENGTHEN the foundations of a business so it is more resilient and less likely to fail, to OPTIMISE its current resources enabling it to grow with certainty and to TRANSFORM it into an asset which can support aspirations. This unique system is called Your Journey to Freedom®.

Your Journey to Freedom® is a pragmatic, best practice process where the owner has either:

1. reached a plateau and is struggling to grow further, or

2. has exploded with growth and is fearful of losing control.

Your Future

In essence Building Better Futures is focused on achieving your vision of the future? For most of our clients this revolves around a desire for independence. Financial independence such that you no longer have to worry about money? Time independence in so far as being able to work the hours that you wish to work and perhaps spend the rest of your time with family or friends or working on charitable projects? Greater profitability and more positive cash flow will enable you to achieve this.

Whatever your vision of the future is. Whatever that vision wants to achieve, we help you focus on that vision and achieve it.

And if you are struggling with articulating your vision then we can help you with that too.
