Looking for a Xero accountant in Devon or Somerset to support your business?

Portland Stone Firms: a client perspective

“Bringing Graham in to review our business gave us a great opportunity to reflect on our pricing and performance. We needn’t have worried if he would be the right fit for us. It was clear during a walkabout that he got his head around our operations very quickly.

Graham grasped the intricacies of our business, and worked through copious data to understand what drives our business results. He looked at the evidence from a range of viewpoints and was very professional in his approach. It was clear he was going to deliver honest feedback whatever his findings.

If you can explain something simply, it shows you understand! Graham’s feedback to us was clear, concise and very helpful. I would recommend him to your business.”

Auxilium HR: a client perspective

“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.”

Tufcoat: a client perspective

“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.”

Huntsmore: a client perspective

“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.”

Nautibuoy Marine: a client perspective

“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.”

How much does it cost? How will it work?

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.

Our packages

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:

• set-up and training services
• quarterly or monthly management accounts
• bookkeeping
• VAT, CIS, payroll
• regular consultancy
• ongoing support
• year-end accounts and tax returns

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.
