When life gives you lemons, make lemonade… what happens if your business gives you lemons? That’s often when my clients call me in. Like many accountants, I can give you the peace of mind that all your tax and accounting compliance affairs are taken care of. That’s a given. Why do so many of my clients stay with me? They come to me as someone who has had their fair share of knocks but has come back swinging each time. I’m known as a good listener and happy to be more of a business partner than someone who just crunches the numbers. Our clients tend to be:
• In hospitality or early in their business growth
• Based in London or the northern home counties
• Needing to make informed business decisions, particularly around cash flow and growing their business
You could say that resilience is my middle name. I moved to the UK from Turkey as a refugee in 2004 and started my life over again. My wife and I have two beautiful children, but both have challenging health conditions. Sadly, I lost family members in the large earthquakes in Turkey in 2023. Why do I tell you this? It demonstrates that even when you get knocked down in business terms, you can get up again; whether these knocks are spiralling costs from increased rent, food or fuel costs, or staffing woes. Given the many hats I wear in my life - from supporting my family here and in Turkey and my clients, I know what it is like to juggle. To want to be there and provide for your family, but also put the hard yards in to grow your business. I don’t promise to have all the answers. But what I can guarantee is that I am the advisor who will listen and understand. Then work with you to put in place plans and solutions to help you get back up again to confidently grow your business. To get in touch [email protected]
