Having recently found success in SME News’ UK Finance Awards, we got in touch with Christopher Bailey Director of SKS Bailey Group to find out more about one of the best SME- focused accountancy firms available in the industry today. Whether you’re an SME looking for help with payroll or an individual looking for help with personal tax, SKS Bailey Group can offer a solution that works for every client. Going into further detail, Chris begins by providing us with a brief overview of the firm and offers more insight into its clientele. “With reliable accounts often proving the backbone of any strong business, we can provide a wide range of accountancy services from day-to- day bookkeeping to year-end accounts. As bookkeeping can be such a time-consuming task, we remove the stress for the client by undertaking the whole process, while offering an accurate assessment of a client’s financial position. In addition, we specialise in personal financial planning, business tax and cloud accounting. From construction and manufacturing through to property and food & drink, we aim to help our clients grow and develop by providing strategic business support and advice.” Across the UK the team often face strong competition in the industry, however as Chris goes on to explain, its client approach has enabled the firm to distance itself from others in the financial arena. “Ultimately, great advice comes from knowing you and your business. Here at Bailey Group, we spend time getting to know you so we can give you a solution that works. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach, we pride ourselves on finding unique solutions for even the most complex financial situations.” At the heart of SKS Bailey Group is the Director and Founder himself, Chris’s experience has proved to be an instrumental factor behind the firm’s success. As a Chartered Accountant, Chris has been involved in the accountancy industry for more than 30 years. Having founded the business in 2004, he has led the firm’s charge to the forefront of the accountancy sector. Bringing the interview to a close, Chris comments on the firm’s future prospects as we look ahead to 2021 and beyond. “Dealing with the consequences of COVID-19 resulted in 2020 being a challenging period for the busines. So then, moving forward we hope to experience a more positive year where we will hopefully take on more clients and maintain our excellent standard of service. Throughout COVID we have made sure to provide our clients with constant tailored support and advice to successful navigate their businesses through the pandemic.” Company: SKS Bailey Group Contact: Alexandra Forster Website: www.baileygroup.co.uk Email : [email protected]
