Supporting a high growth business: a case study

PRB Systems (UK) provides advanced rendering systems for the modern home. This family-owned business has grown 40% over the past year alone, testament to their high-quality service and product. Here Ryan Hill, Managing Director at PRB Systems, speaks about his experience working with Kate Edginton, Senior Manager in the Business Solutions team at Hazlewoods.

"We were growing at a pace that exceeded the knowledge of our previous accountant, and we required expert advice during this demanding phase of growth.

Hazlewoods offered me professional, expert advice with everything from book-keeping, year-end compliance, VAT returns, but also Kate was brilliant at actually walking me through how to use Xero more efficiently to process purchase orders and invoices, and simplifying excel so that I can spend more time focusing on the business itself.

Additionally, Hazlewoods advised on how best to set up an employee share scheme that was most suitable to our company structure."

Transitioning to Xero: a client case study

Transitioning to a cloud accounting platform can seem daunting, but the benefits can be transformative for a business. Tom Beasley, CEO of charity Active Gloucestershire, explains how the Hazlewoods Business Solutions team guided him through the process.

"They spent time with our team to truly understand what was important to them and how they would like to report their data, and built bespoke reports within Xero to reflect what we needed as a charity. Our team can now interrogate and view live reports as and when they need to and our engagement with the finance aspect of their roles is much stronger now that they have been trained on Xero.

Using an automated, web-based programme also means that our cyber security and resilience is improved."
