For over 40 years Comtec Translations has been helping companies to communicate in different languages across the globe. Whether it’s translating training in Turkish, newsletters in Norwegian, videos in Vietnamese or manuals in Malay. Read how Sophie Howe, Director, has benefited from Pentlands’ support to bring greater clarity in making strategic decisions.
“Before I met Elinor, I just didn’t appreciate what value you could get from an accountant. The business was at a stage where we really needed a lot more input in terms of financial planning. We had experienced bad advice from previous accountants, and we just knew that we needed to work with someone better.
We wanted greater clarity and insight into the impact of our financial investment decisions. We wanted to move away from spreadsheets and use a software for forecasting that was fully aligned to Xero.
We have been working with Paul to introduce a streamlined process with tools for effective forecasting. This is a critical element in supporting us in our continued growth strategy. It helps us to consider ‘what if’ scenarios showing us the impact of different growth trajectories. For example, if we were to add team members, it runs the numbers and enables us to see the impact on our cash-flow and profitability. It is really beneficial when we are making plans of where to invest in the business.
Paul is very helpful and responsive; he has taken the time to understand our business. He reviewed our management accounts, helped us to make the necessary adjustments in Xero to ensure accurate information was being shared with our chosen forecasting software – Fathom.
We have significantly reduced the duplication of data, creating efficiencies and making the better use of our time. Our Head of Finance now has capacity for to focus on the strategic elements in her role.
