As Chartered Management Accountants (CMA’s) we differ from traditional accountancy practices by offering services not related to compliance obligations like year-end accounts production and tax returns. We work with a number of these firms to help provide information required to complete this compliance work in cost effective ways.

CMA’s train and qualify whilst working in industry and commerce unlike members of traditional practices who train and qualify whilst working in the accounting profession.

We offer financial management services coupled with commercial awareness to help reach inspired decision making. The combination of financial and business best practice complimented by our information management skills helps to manage and develop the resources of businesses of all sizes. This includes a hands-on approach that draws on our training in the key principals of management with understanding of the vital functions of business.

Our director, Gary Beesley trained and qualified whilst working in industry and worked as management accountant, financial analyst and financial controller before starting in practice in 1993.

Since this time we have worked with many business organisations, charities and non-profit organisations from sole traders, small businesses and companies, medium sized companies and multi-national organisations in sectors as diverse as construction, retail, manufacturing, insurance broking, consumer finance, hi-tech manufacturing and internet sales companies.

We work as virtual finance director for organisations who can’t afford, or don’t want the cost of a full time finance professional and we recommend members of our extensive network of professional advisors in areas where we consider that our clients would benefit from their help.

We also have a policy of bringing together clients to do business with each other and therefore add value in this area.
