Business support
Are your business worries keeping you up at night?
Have you seen growth in customers, services, sales – but no growth in profitability?
Are you struggling with bills, debts and cash flow?
Do you feel like there must be a better way – but you just don’t know how?
Is dealing with all this administration and stress taking up all your time?
We help you solve the financial problems that consume your time and devastate your profit.
For more than 30 years, we have helped a number of businesses like yours out of trouble. We have the experience, the people, and the established framework to help turn your business around.
When you partner with JH & CO, you get the skills and service of a complete finance department with the expertise of an accounting firm.
WE WANT YOU TO THINK OF US AS YOUR ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT.
We offer a complete and comprehensive Finance and Commercial Management solution.
We start by understanding your business.
We work with you to get a clear picture of your problems. This helps us to know what could be causing the issues and where to start.
The next step is analysis.
Our business accountants get into the detail (they love a good spreadsheet!) and use the numbers from your accounts to build a picture of the financial health of your business. This is all through the lens of the problems you need to solve.
Next is strategy.
It starts with honesty – we tell you exactly what is going on in your business, good and bad. This might be uncomfortable, but getting clear on your problems helps you understand how you can make changes going forward.
Together we develop a strategy you can implement in partnership with us to turn your business around.
We understand maintaining a business can be tough. We often believe when things aren’t working as well as they once did that, we simply need to work harder, but in many cases, it’s about working smarter.
By offering fresh insights and perspectives combined with practical advice, we can help you make critical business decisions with confidence.
Then the real work starts! We partner with you, coach you, and deliver the services you need to implement the strategy – and get you on the path to success again.
We Create A Tailored Package Of Services That Meet Your Needs.
We take away the overwhelm with a full commercial management service, from the bookkeeping through to monthly financial reports, cash flow and business planning.
No two businesses are alike – so we package the services you need according to your needs. The analysis helps us determine what that really is.
What we can promise? It won’t just be tax. It won’t just be books. It won’t just be reports. It will be comprehensive, thorough and intended to create a return on investment for your business.
