Back in 2015, John won Most Innovative Small Practitioner of the year in the UK for the Financial Management System, which he has updated and improved year on year since.

John said: “I want to build the number of clients and businesses I can help to improve their profitability and build better businesses and better lives for them and their families.”

Services on offer

John is particularly keen to work with firms with turnovers up to £1m, who don’t have their own in-house accountant or bookkeeping service. He and his small team will carry out a full financial analysis on your business, analyse past performance and present all the information on easily-understandable graphs. He will also carry out a benchmark with similar firms to allow comparison, and then do a five-year forecast.

“This all helps us set up a strategic objective on where a client wants to be in the future, and how to get there.”

And with monthly reports, and an online system where clients can see their own figures in an instant, and problems can be spotted early, with time to take action to remedy them.

The full package allows for bookkeeping, payroll, accounts, tax returns, performance reviews and projections, all personally handled by John and his team, who are committed to helping your business reach its full potential.

Friendly and approachable

John said: “I always say I cannot make myself a better accountant than any other firm, but I can do things differently. That means putting communications from my clients first; emails are answered on the same day and I give unlimited telephone support. There will be times in business when you need to speak to your accountant every day and that will cost you nothing extra, other times months will go by when you don’t need to call me. We are always approachable and always happy to help.”

Despite working in the profession for several decades, John has an absolute passion for what he does, and the innovations which allow him to constantly update and improve the service he offers his clients.

“People sometimes ask me if I have plans to retire but I don’t. I can see so much potential for developing our clients’ financial management systems and helping businesses,” he said.

He added: “We are unique in the accountancy profession in that we are the only practice in the UK that gives our clients a full no quibble full money back guarantee.”

Testimonials

Emma Brown wrote: “The advice from Mr Harrison transformed our business. I carried out everything which the profit improvement plan highlighted as a problem and was guided every step of the way by Mr Harrison and his team. I can safely say that our business is now showing a very different story after just twelve months of hard work and major changes. The overdraft we built up over eight years took just one year to repay.”

Sally Fuller wrote: “I must say that I was very impressed with your understanding of the slides and the tax planning itself, which is incredibly complex and has baffled and confused many accountants!”
