People are key at Swindells & Gentry and we understand the importance finance plays in the lives of our business and private clients.

Chartered Accountants

Our business clients need and expect clear thinking and sound advice. Whether you are a sole trader, owner-managed or family business, professional firm or large corporate, you need to develop your business, manage and reduce costs, develop your technology, hire and fire staff and still make a profit.

Our commitment is to understand your business and provide as much support and guidance as you need, professionally and discretely. Our Outsourcing Services will enable you to spend more time working on your business and not in it and our Accountancy and Tax teams will ensure that all your accounting and business taxation needs are dealt with in a timely and cost effective manner.

Private clients have the same concerns as businesses: you want an assurance that we will understand your individual situation and help you manage your tax and financial affairs accordingly. This may range from simply saving the time and worry of dealing with your tax return, to lifetime financial planning, including advice on Inheritance Tax, trust formation and pensions. We also offer specialist services to Trusts and Estates to help them deal with the many complex issues that can arise.

Consulting

Many businesses find they need a catalyst to generate positive change and establish a route to achieve their full potential, always with an eye to increased profit and wealth generation. New businesses also need guidance at an early stage to ensure they are on track to profitability in terms of both financial management and business direction.

Our consultants will work with managers and owners to really get to the heart of the business, identifying strategies for improvement and areas for expansion.

Specialist IT Consultants will guide you through the IT minefield and our HR Consultants can ensure that you have good and effective policies and procedures which can increase you profits whilst ensuring your business complies with current legislation.

Financial Planning

We provide high quality independent and impartial advice that concentrates on you, your hopes and aspirations and the results you require. Just as you can trust us with your accounts and taxation so you can trust us with your financial planning.. Our financial planners are fully qualified to advise on constructing, implementing and monitoring bespoke investment portfolios and a full range of financial services.
