LOOKING ahead to a New Year might include taking a good look at your business strategies.
Harris & Co Chartered Accountants specialises in advising small and medium-sized businesses. For each one the firm provides a flexible and tailored service that meets their individual needs in terms of business accounting, advice and tax requirements.
Phil Harris founded Harris and Co 25 years ago, having learned a great deal about how businesses operate during his time working for major firms of accountants as well as his own firm.
“I feel that our strategy of helping clients get the right business structure and procedures in place is critical to their future success,” said Phil. “Equally, once the business is up and running, it is important to keep the structure and procedures under review so that they are always appropriate for the current status and the planned evolution of the business.
“What I have learned over the years is that small businesses need not just practical help with their accounts, but also business support from someone who has been there, and who knows what works and what does not.”
“From the day I started up in my spare bedroom at home to our prestigious offices on the Business Park today, we’ve experienced every phase of growth that a business is going to come across. We’ve had first-hand practical experience of growing our own business from scratch and dealing with all the issues that prolonged growth brings.”
“It is not every firm of accountants who can bring this hands-on experience to bear on their clients’ businesses, and I do feel that it really helps us empathise with our clients and give the practical, workable solutions to problems, rather than ideas out of a text book.”
And we continue to learn and pass that knowledge on to our clients – for example in 2015, we’ve been working with HMRC and the Motorsport Industry Association to present a national series of seminars on R&D Tax Credits. We’ve picked up quite a few valuable tips from HMRC on how to ease the making of claims. It’s great to be able to pass these invaluable insights on to our clients.”
