In 2018, Paul and Matt started working with Old Mill accountant, Matthew Jackson, as a way to complete their Annual Accounts and Tax Returns. However, they soon realised the potential for a deeper partnership that could drive their business’s growth, improve efficiency, and provide valuable insights.

Embarking on a collaborative journey with Old Mill has been an empowering experience for our clients. As Paul and Matt continued to grow their business, we were there to support them, bringing in additional Old Mill specialists as needed.

Supporting Growth and Expansion

Our Corporate Finance Team played a pivotal role in assessing the financial health of their company, while our Financial Planning Team facilitated personal pension planning as part of a comprehensive tax strategy. We also collaborated closely with them to optimise their payment processing, exploring alternative payment patterns and implementing a streamlined deposit system.

Enhancing Financial Management through our  “Success Programme”

To enhance their financial management further, our Commercial Accounts Team and Digital Services Team customised their bookkeeping software, resulting in improved profit and loss data. In addition, we developed a Key Performance Indicator report with custom metrics for their quarterly management meetings. Complementing these efforts, our monthly ‘Success Programme’ made a remarkable impact on their cash cycle, generating significant improvements.

Our “Success Programme” has been instrumental in fostering proactive collaboration and driving our exceptional service. Through regular monthly sessions, we created a dedicated space for open discussions, enabling us to address key talking points and align our strategies with your evolving needs. These sessions have played a pivotal role in shaping our approach, ensuring that every action we take is a direct result of our ongoing conversations. By maintaining this consistent and transparent communication, we are able to deliver a truly collaborative and tailored service that goes above and beyond expectations.

Comprehensive Support

Beyond these achievements, we provided comprehensive assistance in various areas. This included optimising tax efficiency through share transfers, annual directors’ remuneration planning, conducting P11D assessments, correcting staff loans and car benefits, reviewing and supporting accounting software, helping with the appointment of suitable finance staff, and facilitating succession planning meetings.
