Choosing the right accountancy firm can be pivotal to the success and growth of your business. At GHLD, we blend the capabilities of a large firm with the personal touch of a smaller practice. This unique positioning allows us to deliver bespoke services that truly align with each client’s needs. Here, we explore the qualities that make us stand out in the competitive world of accountancy.
We are a ‘big small’ firm
Partner Roshni Prajapati aptly describes us as a “big small” firm. This means we possess the robustness and the diverse expertise typical of a large firm, enabling us to cater to a wide range of clientele, from solo entrepreneurs to global corporations. Yet, we maintain the personal engagement and attention to detail that only a smaller firm can offer. This duality ensures that every client, regardless of size or sector, receives the most effective and tailored service.
Personal service at every stage
At GHLD, personal service is our cornerstone. Jonathan Grant, one of our senior partners, emphasises that “whether you are just starting out alone in business or are part of a much larger worldwide group, at GHLD you will always know the partner and the team who are looking after your affairs.” This close relationship allows us to understand your business intimately and anticipate your needs, ensuring that we provide solutions that are not only responsive, but also proactive.
Proactivity is key
Being proactive is integral to our service delivery. Manager Alexandra Cook notes that we do not wait for problems to arise or for the yearly financial review. Instead, we work continuously alongside our clients to ensure all financial opportunities are seized and potential issues are addressed before they become problematic. This proactive approach means that we are more than just accountants – we are strategic partners in the truest sense.
Expertise in auditing
Our auditing service is a particular point of pride. Senior partner Jeremy Harrod highlights that for a firm of our size, we have an exceptionally strong auditing practice. This allows us to offer a level of scrutiny and assurance that adds real value to our clients. Our expertise in auditing ensures that we uphold the highest standards of transparency and accountability, giving you peace of mind that your financial practices are not only compliant, but also optimised for performance and risk management.
Tailored and cost-effective solutions
Our approach to accountancy is always tailored and cost-effective. We understand that each business has unique challenges and opportunities, and our solutions reflect this diversity. “Our clients enjoy tailored service which is cost-effective and most suited to their needs,” says a member of our team. By aligning our services closely with your business objectives, we ensure that you receive the most value, enhancing your efficiency and profitability.
Building trust and relationships
Our ability to build strong client relationships based on trust is a testament to the quality of our service. Many of our new clients come to us through referrals from existing ones, a clear indicator of their satisfaction and trust. “We do not work for you, we work with you,” says partner Keith Smith, emphasising a sentiment which is echoed across the firm. This philosophy fosters deeper collaboration and commitment, enabling us to truly become part of your team.
Your competitive advantage
We see ourselves as your competitive advantage, not just your accountant. In today’s complex economic climate, having a firm that does more than just manage your accounts but actively contributes to your strategic planning is invaluable. At GHLD, we leverage our expertise to provide insights that help you stay ahead, ensuring that you are not just surviving, but thriving.
