Tom, The Brainminer

When I set up The Brainminer I could not have had better coaching or business guidance than I got from Aileen.

At a scary but exciting point in the evolution of a new business she made everything understandable and simple. She reassured and supported. Her thorough but broad advice ranged from tax and VAT consultation to wider business support like cash flow and client billing. Aileen has a naturally supportive and coaching style but is rigorous in making sure you do the right thing.

In the first year of The Brainminer I could not have asked for a better partner in helping me turn it into the successful entity it now is. Both she and Julie were there whenever I needed them, making sure things happened in the right way at the right time. They both involve you rather than “do” for you so that you feel you are still steering your own ship.

They are thoroughly brilliant to work with and very exacting in what they do.

“Starting my own business after being employed for 35 years was a big step for me and the biggest fear I had was how to go about dealing with the accounts, tax, VAT, and wages……… arrghhhhhh

I was introduced to FAB and immediately the fear disappeared.

They are a fantastic team who do a brilliant job and I can honestly say it was the best decision I made to ask them to take on all of my accounting requirements as it leaves me worry free knowing they will supply full and accurate accounts on my behalf.

Oh….. And, they are also very, very nice people who are always patient and helpful with my ‘rookie’ questions.”

When my business grew to a certain size it became apparent that we needed to run proper forecasts and budgets in order to keep control of profitability. A business colleague recommended FAB Accounts and I’m really pleased we contacted them.

They have given us the ability to analyse and measure our spending within a seasonal business. We now have the tools to manage the business performance accurately and stay in full control of the numbers.

Our best business decision….appointing FAB. The nature of our business is such that we need to think in the longer term and the strategic approach of FAB helps us to take advantage of opportunities and minimise risk.

What we value greatly, as well as the highly efficient management accounting service that FAB has provided for over 15 years, is the business acumen and innovative ideas that FAB brings to any discussion.

“My association with Fab accounts began … years ago. I find them approachable, easy to work with and very efficient.

Originally when I started working with them they helped me set up my accounts and payroll onto the sage accounting system. They spent time helping me load the necessary information and then trained me accordingly.

The thing I find best about FAB accounts is that they are always at the end of the phone and willing to help, they don’t seem to mind how few or how many hours are required of them.

I would highly recommend them and think they are FAB!!”

POTN.COM is an online retailer, with a difference.

We run 80 websites selling car parts, and in every case we don’t actually stock the products, we get a manufacturer to send them out on our behalf.

When we first took FAB Accounts on, it was refreshing to hear from accountants who tried to streamline our admin rather than just moan about how it could be solved.
