About Us

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.

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.

Their hands-on experience in construction really appealed to us. It means that, when we ask a question, they ‘get it’ straight away. We don’t have 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.

Wessex Commercial are a fantastic partner for my business. As a business owner, they’ve held my hand through set up and growth. They take away the headache of the ‘numbers game’ and are always on hand for a chat.

I love what I do, but I’m numbers averse, and would end up losing money if it was not for Wessex Commercial. There’s no doubt their service pays for itself and more. I really appreciate that they tailor their service to suit their clients’ needs. It’s fair to say they under-sell and over-deliver. I recommend them to other business owners and, I know it is a cliché, but I feel completely confident working with them.

It’s a whole different ballgame working with Wessex Commercial. It’s so important to make timely decisions, rather than leave them until after the year-end… Graham has helped me understand that we have to have sales targets if we want to achieve a certain level of profits.

He’s also identified cost savings – previously we’d missed out on tax allowances. As we grow and take on staff, I’ve realised that other people and their families now depend on us. I needed someone to hold me accountable for the performance of the business, and Graham does exactly that … The best part of working with Wessex Commercial is their business experience. It’s worth its weight in gold.
