We’re all about giving business owners the time and freedom to focus on what they do best, so they can enjoy what they love most. So it’s not really about us at all. It’s more about you.
Your business is most likely your biggest priority, but it’s not the only one. Between work, family and long term aspirations, a lot of aspects take up your time and attention. As business owners ourselves, we understand these challenges. But we don’t necessarily see them as such, asking instead: What can we do to make things even better?
And that’s not the only question we ask. We like to get under the skin of an organisation — making sure to understand you, the issues you face and your plans for the future.
We help you meet your accounting and tax responsibilities while keeping your wider plans in view. Where a matter calls for specialist expertise, we can discuss the appropriate support with you.
A little bit of background (in case you were wondering).
Greystone was established with a straightforward belief: good accountancy support should consider both the business and the people behind it.
We combine dependable accounts and tax services with practical business advice, supported by organised systems, clear processes and an understanding of our clients’ circumstances.
Our methods have developed over time, but our focus remains the same: helping business owners build security, explore opportunities and keep sight of what they want their business to make possible for their family.
Working with Greystone
We work with small, family-owned limited companies, including businesses run by husbands, wives and partners. We look beyond the company to the security, balance, freedom and opportunities it can provide for the family behind it.
Getting started
Our first conversation is free. We ask about your business, its history, your needs and your plans. If we agree to work together, we confirm the services and fees, request the information we need and guide you through onboarding. This includes initial risk assessments and anti-money laundering checks, a professional handover from your previous accountant where applicable, HMRC agent authorisations for the relevant taxes, and setting up your file.
Keeping things organised
Many clients use Xero; others provide records through our secure portal. We agree how information will be shared and send reminders before and after the relevant period ends, with follow-ups to obtain the information and approval we need to begin processing.
Questions are welcome
You can contact us by email or phone. We welcome questions and want you to feel comfortable asking for help. If a query needs a more detailed review, calculations or consideration of different options, we will explain the additional work and agree the fee with you before proceeding. Where you prefer, agreed fees can be spread through manageable monthly invoices.
