matthews business associates Geoff

We make excellent accountancy services our foundation, and successful, tax-efficient, thriving businesses our ultimate goal.

If you’ve ever heard our owner and director Geoff Matthews in full throttle, you’ll know why.

Virtually every business who comes to us is wasting profits and opportunities somewhere in their financial arrangements and processes. In one extreme case, in half an hour, we uncovered six different areas a client had been ill-advised and was losing money out of the business in tax alone.

And we find this unacceptable. You’re busting a gut, running your business. You deserve to see the absolute maximum benefit of your efforts, not your profits going up in smoke.

We make it our mission to make sure this happens.

Our style is not to take your accounts, pay your tax and speak to you once a year. It is to have regular communication, thorough reviews, think proactively, strategically and creatively, and show you how you can achieve a more profitable and tax-efficient business.

We’ll ask the questions. You’ll enjoy the profits’.

Whether you’re an existing business or a start-up, when you come to MBA, you’ll need to be prepared. Prepared to listen, answer questions, be challenged and maybe make a few changes. But you can also be prepared to enjoy success. Because when our experts ask the questions that few other accountants are asking, we uncover and unlock profits and opportunities you never knew existed.

A winning approach

We help businesses to think bigger, keep more of what they earn and maximise opportunities.

But how do we do it?

1. We start at the beginning with the basics.
Every single business, no matter what they do or sell in whatever sector, MUST have certain principles, procedures and plans in place. But amazingly, they don’t.

For instance, based on your profit projection, how much do you wish to take out of the business for earnings in the next year and how much tax will you pay on that? It’s a fundamental decision that every business must consider.

Our approach is to ensure every business has the fundamentals in place.

And then, with some businesses, we start digging deeper and move into more complex areas of accounting. Grants or rebates you may not realise you have access to. Financial arrangements incorporating properties and personal finances. Restructuring, business strategy and pricing, if necessary. Timings – of property purchases, moving money, paying out dividends or making investments.

Strong foundations will enable you to build a bigger, more successful business. And we’ll be with you all the way, with our expert business advice and accountancy service.

In fact, the more complex and bigger your business, the more we can help.

2. We keep you looking ahead. Specifically, 18 months ahead.
If there’s one certainty about business, it’s that business is uncertain. But our experts can add some all-important certainty to your business planning with our forecasting analysis.

Our reviews, which we urge all, but particularly larger or more complex businesses, to undertake regularly, are based on an 18 month forecast. This is not selected at random. It works with the tax payment cycle and keeps you focused on a realistic and manageable projection timescale.

So we lay down the figures. What sales, profit and tax can you expect in 18 months? And every few months we repeat and update, reducing the chance of nasty tax bill suprises, enabling any necessary actions to be taken and helping you plan your spend and investments with peace of mind.

As one of our clients once said, ‘this is the most useful thing we’ve ever had from an accountant’.

3. We keep talking to you and your people.
We offer and champion strong communication and regular reviews. And the clients who take this opportunity will get the best results from our service.

Burying your hand in the sand, ostrich-style, is never good for business. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, but for this to happen, we need to talk.

If we don’t know you, we can’t establish your personal and professional hopes, dreams and goals. If you don’t tell us, we won’t know if you’ve unwittingly made an unwise financial decision – potentially until it’s too late. And if you’re not taking advantage of our 18 month forecast, you may miss out on time-sensitive tax saving or profit enhancing opportunities.

“I have had Matthews Business Associates carrying out my accounts for a few years now. Geoff is more than accountant, and his team send reminders for my VAT, CIS and anything else that crops up. The Service is exceptional, and I have never had accountants that seem to want you to succeed as much as they do. Highly recommended, these guys have set me off to get my records in order, and just recently a meeting, highlighted isuues that were in the back of my mind but could have been a disaster if the regular meetings weren't in place. Very professional, highly recommended.”

“This year, Geoff Matthews and his team have helped our company well beyond what was expected. There had been a few hiccups in the preceeding couple of years, but, undaunted, they came to a view that was able to be satisfactorily presented as the company accounts for tax purposes. Geoff has a wealth of experiance with small companies. Using Kashflow online, as recommended by Geoff,has also been a liberating experiance. Any business with a fair number of daily transactions would be well advised to adopt it. It comes as part of the package with Matthews Business Associates. I have no hesitation of recommending Geoff to anyone in business.”

“It has been great to get to know you and your business over the last few years. There is no doubt that you and your colleagues make an excellent team. Your approach is very professional and you always give an honest and reliable service. Many people are afraid of asking an accountant to help with their new or established business, they might think that they will be charged a fortune for every phone call and every piece of advice. However, your way of dealing with businesses is very different and is very straight forward. I do not hesitate to recommend your services.”
