“The WCS team are fantastic and I wouldn’t be without them. Great service, easy to understand advice and guidance when I need it.
I really like their use of technology so it streamlines the things I need to do, makes mine and their job easier and keep things efficient and cost effective.
I highly recommend the Business and Xero Review service they offer as this got me off to a great start.”

The support we receive from Wessex Commercial is excellent. Whereas you may only hear from other accountants at month end, our contact is available on the phone for general enquiries. She goes above-and-beyond, getting everything done on time for us.
The team are always looking for ways to help improve our efficiency. They’ve provided us with a cashflow forecasting app, and we have another great app in place which allows us to send in bills and receipts with minimal fuss.
If another SME were looking for an accountant? I’d definitely recommend Wessex Commercial. The team are always efficient, always at the end of the phone, and great to work with!”

“I’ve used an outsourced FD in the past, but with hindsight, this was quite disruptive. It’s definitely been better working with WCS, they strike a balance so that I remain in control of the business, but the backup is there when I need a finance professional.
The WCS team highlight potential issues and act as a sounding board for ideas, and unlike some consultants, they don’t just point to what needs to be done and leave you to get on with it, they keep helping to improve the business. Since working with WCS, we have seen around a tenfold improvement in profitability.
I feel comfortable and confident working with WCS. The team are understanding and approachable, and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for commercially-minded accountants.”
Read more“Have been working with WCS since I set up my business 4 yrs ago and have always found them helpful and efficient.
The systems they put in place enable me to run my business, rather than worry about bookkeeping.”

“The fact that Graham and Elly have hands-on experience in construction really appealed to us. It means that, when we ask a question, they ‘get it’ straight away – no need to convince them or do a lot of explaining.
We also like the fact that Wessex are up-to-date with technology. We had signed up to Xero before we joined, but were still doing accounts on spreadsheets. That’s despite the fact that we were working with a fairly large accountancy firm! It’s much easier to see how we are doing now – our management accounts provide a clear, up-to-date picture.
I’d describe Wessex as a ‘nimble’ company, that has its clients’ interests at heart. We meet up from time-to-time to discuss what’s happening in our business. If we have any problems, I’m confident that the team at Wessex will guide us through them.”
Read more“We enjoyed a seamless transition when we took on Wessex as our accountants. The team are always on hand to answer any questions we have – they’re easy to get hold of and easy to talk to.
Better still, they don’t shy away from difficult issues. They provide straightforward options for us to consider. It makes such a difference when your accountant talks your language. Their business experience shows!
We really value the ‘can do’ approach which we see at Wessex, together with their attention to detail and the level of support they provide.”

“I’m feeling a lot more confident now about our accounts and Xero. Our Operations Manager has had great training and support from Wessex Commercial. (We only had limited Xero training in the past). Wessex have smartened up our company accounts and ensured that the balance sheet more accurately reflects the value of the business.
The ‘big picture’ is much clearer now. And because I’m feeling much more confident about Xero, I’m able to focus on growing and developing our business.
It’s never an easy decision to change accountants, however it’s made a big difference. Would we recommend Wessex Commercial? 100%! Thank you to the team for supporting us.”

What does a package with Wessex Commercial look like? Firstly, no surprises. We don’t do estimated bills or send you a big annual bill at the same time as your Corporation Tax or Self Assessment is due.
The most hassle-free option is our fully outsourced accounts and consultancy service. You’ll need to send data (such as bills and receipts) to us using an app or email address, but we’ll provide:
all for a fixed monthly fee, paid by Direct Debit. If you already have a bookkeeper we can train them, and if you have a specialist accountant or tax adviser, we’re happy to work with them too.

Pricing is an art form, and is very dependent on market conditions and your ability to service that market. When costs go up the natural reaction is to say “I need to increase prices” but is this right or even possible sometimes? It’s definitely not “one-size-fits-all”, you don’t price the same way for everything. It … Continued
