The business adviser element of Pentlands service appealed to us, as well as the friendly and personable approach of Elinor and her team. We wanted to work with a company that didn’t just look after our accounts; they would think through different scenarios and point us in directions we might not have considered.
They don’t just do the books; it’s the extra advice and support that’s brilliant.
A family business, established in 1972, A.H. Spares Ltd is the original and largest supplier and manufacturer of Austin Healey parts in the world. A one-stop shop for all Austin Healey requirements. Read how Rebecca Kemsley, director, found support and guidance from Pentlands.
“Our former accountants were starting to retire so we were looking for a new accountancy firm. My father, who started the business, had an accountancy background, unlike my brother and I. So we wanted to build on those foundations and needed a guiding hand to help us understand the accounts, give us a clearer picture of the business and maximise opportunities for growth.
The business adviser element of Pentlands service appealed to us, as well as the friendly and personable approach of Elinor and her team. We wanted to work with a company that didn’t just look after our accounts; they would think through different scenarios and point us in directions we might not have considered.
When we met the team, we had an instant connection with them; they explained things clearly so we started to work together. They recommended applying for R&D tax credits which we implemented and are now benefitting from.
One of our challenges is keeping on top of all the different divisions within the company. Pentlands are invaluable at giving financial insight into how these individual divisions are operating to ensure profitability in the different areas.
We suffered a lot with Brexit and Covid, like everybody, and we were short-staffed at management level last year. So the hands-on support from Elinor, Jacob and the team has really helped settle us and given us peace of mind. They don’t just do the books; it’s the extra advice and support that’s brilliant.”
