I am pragmatic in my approach, looking at realistic, practical solutions and I aim to bring energy and fun to the proceedings to enthuse business owners.”
How Wild & Co has helped
Like Lisa, Wild & Co are passionate about connecting businesses that could work well together. We actively look for opportunities to make introductions that have the power to benefit both businesses. We are delighted that businesses we have introduced to Lisa have been positively impacted by working with her and we have enjoyed being part of her own business success story.
What the customer says
Lisa says: “I have the privilege of working with many SME business owners and when I start working with them, I ask what “value” their accountants bring. This is often met with a confused look. The answer 9 out of 10 times is “We see them once a year and then receive a large invoice.”
I ask if they get signposted to funding, invited to lunch and learn sessions, introduced to other businesses regularly - again no is the response.
These are all the things that Wild & Co do for us and their other clients. They know us as a business, they understand our aspirations and our growth plans. We have constant contact if we want it and can call them up to sense check anything.
Oh and their rates are very reasonable and they are proactive and reply speedily to any queries, generally same day. Basically what more could you want? I’d be happy to chat to any business owner looking for a new accountant.”
