We are a family owned and operated business and costs are really hurting us. Can you help?
Yes we can. Operating costs are one of the biggest concerns for small businesses and can mean the difference between profitability and operating losses. High rents, staff costs and day to day cost inefficiencies can all add up and take its toll on the bottom line.
Our retail business is thinking of expanding. Can you advise us on the best route forward?
Avid Partners can do a root and branch review of your business and put forward a strategic plan on how best to expand. All of our recommendations will be fully costed with build in contingencies. We can point the way for you or help you implement the solutions whichever you prefer.
Our retail business was hit hard by the recession. Can you help us get back on our feet?
Absolutely. Through our Accountancy and Consultancy Services Avid Partners has helped many clients recover lost revenues and have assisted in helping companies not only get back to where they were but to grow beyond what they had.

Having got to know the company through the BNI we decided it was time to change accountant. What impressed me about Avid Partners was their professionalism. Their attention to detail was second to none and as an added bonus they are a sounding board to all of my questions.

I met Avid Partners through a local business networking group. We had been using the same accountants for years and found that in these harsh economic times that we were not getting good enough value or service. We were very impressed by the company's professionalism and enthusiasm and genuine interest in helping us get the most out of our business. As a result we are now clients of Avid Partners and are thrilled with our decision.
