If you read only one page on our website this is the one, this is the page that sets us apart from the average bean counter.
There are very few accountants that offer the business development,
coaching and training that we offer at Swinton & Co but we also
provide the compliance and other services too.
Partnership is the single word we use to describe how we work with you. As in any partnership both sides need to work to make the partnership successful. The development, coaching and training we can offer not only for the business owners but their team members too is not for everyone, you must be prepared to make a commitment to the process and only then will you gain the best results. Making that commitment means that the benefits and results of the partnership will far outweigh any costs involved.
We encourage you to follow the links at the side of this page it will take you an area of our site that is developed in conjunction with Principa. It gives you a glimpse at the sort of resources and tools we use when developing your business. This is only a snapshot of what we have at our disposal. Our membership with Principa and indeed our accountancy network, Peak Performance Accountants, gives us unrivaled resources, analysis and development tools to allow your business to maximise its potential and ultimately its profits.
As the old saying goes the proof of the pudding, so to that end we would like to offer a business development assessment and consultation free of charge to clients new and old who we feel would benefit from our development, coaching and training program.
Arranging a development, coaching or training session with us is easy, as with everything we do it is tailored to the needs of the client. We can arrange a couple of hours, an afternoon or a day, concentrating on a specific area of the business as it is required or to get the best results and really get the most from what we can do, we can timetable an ongoing development program where we meet once a month or once a quarter, depending on the need, and really get your business to fly.
By first assessing your business we lay the foundations giving us both a wealth of information to work with, we will look at your products and services, current customers to find out what they expect, what makes them keep coming back and how to attract new customers. Looking inside your business structure we look at your team, how they work, your systems and process. After the information has been collected we use our business tools and resources to show you where your business is and where it can go.
Once we have reviewed the information collected together and agreed a course of action we will produce an action plan and monitor the plan to ensure you stay on track, look at strategies for sales and marketing, ensuring your administration and customer service is up to scratch and you have systems in place to help them run smoothly. Developing you team's skills is also important so they do not get left behind.
As part of their own going development many business would benefit from the skill of a financial controller. However to employ a suitable person may be cost prohibitive and they may not be required full time. Would the best person to offer this service not be someone who had detailed knowledge of your business and who better to carry this out, than your accountant. We can offer financial controller services on a basis to suit you and at a price your business can afford.
Swinton & Co support you every step of the way to ensure that you get the most from the development sessions. We are always on the end of the phone if you are unsure or just want a sounding board, even if you think your idea sounds silly because you never know when that silly idea might be the best idea you ever had. When someone suggested being able to download music into a little white box that was probably once classed as a silly idea, but can you imagine if you had come up with the ipod!
