AEB International provide cloud solutions in Trade Compliance, Customs Management, Logistics and Supply Chain, and Plug-ins for SAP®. Helping companies evolve with the times, continually reinvent themselves, and transform powerful ideas into reality. We hear from Managing Director, Geoff Taylor, about how Pentlands step up through challenging times.
“Pentlands have been providing AEB International with accountancy and business
advice for over 10 years. If you think about it completely transactionally, we work with Pentlands for year end auditing and advise throughout the year when we need it. They do that well, but that’s what I’d expect from an accountant. However, it’s in those moments where your back’s against the wall that you see the real value in the partnership.
I know Pentlands will step up and I can rely on them. This was more than evident in the rapid response to Covid disruptions. Due to the immediate level of uncertainty, we felt we needed to act quickly to stabilise cash flow. With Pentlands input, within a few days, I was able to build a compelling case that resulted in the approval of a significant CBILS.
I don’t think I could have asked for better assistance from both Taz and Elinor. Their support, guidance and education at that time was tremendous. As a Managing Director, when you are facing those significant challenges it is quite a lonely place and the weight is on your shoulders. I felt the support from Pentlands eased that burden. I was able to sleep at night knowing that I had a cash facility in place to see us through. Having that comfort and freedom to act was critical.
We have a complex business structure, therefore our relationship with Pentlands is important. Trust and understanding are essential. If that isn’t there for you, it may be painful in the short term, but it will be much more beneficial in the long term to change accountants. I wouldn’t have any problem recommending Pentlands to any organisation who are considering that move.”
