TESTIMONIALS

“We would highly recommend Emma & Andy at Assured Accountancy.  We have had a number of accountants in the past that have failed us as a business, we asked around for recommendations and Assured Accountancy came highly recommended to us.  They are quick and efficient responding and dealing with queries.  They are very supportive and swiftly deal with any issues that arise.  They have also saved us money, quickly identifying allowances we are entitled to and helped with the smooth running of our business.  Assured Accountancy ticks all the boxes for us.”
“The service we receive from Andy and Emma is professional whilst maintaining a friendly and caring attitude. We feel that the service we receive is tailored to our own requirements and therefore feel we always receive a personal yet exceptional service. The greatest benefit for us is the honesty and expertise which has often guided us away from our initial thoughts but given us a better option. The ability to put across intricate details and explain them in layman’s terms is invaluable.”

MEET THE TEAM

Andy Bullard BSc FCA CTA

Andy, a family man, moved to Yorkshire, God’s own county, in 2008 with his wife Rosie, all 6 children having left home. He undertook a course in business development which affirmed many of his ideas about how businesses could fulfil their full potential.

The quiet life has never materialised. After a spell on the volunteer life-boat, Andy now looks after the general population by volunteering as a community first responder and in the new Hornsea First Aid Centre. Not content with this, he holds the office as Financial Director of the now flourishing Hornsea Floral Hall. And just to mop up any spare time he sings with the choir, Costal Voices of Bridlington.




Emma Cage ACA CTA

The engine room of the business and its dependable anchor. Having taken the whole of the AAT syllabus in her stride, she become a qualified Chartered Accountant in August 2021 and qualified as a Chartered Tax Advisor in July 2022. Emma’s financial expertise is beyond question, not at least because when playing bingo she wins more often than she loses. Emma is renowned for her commitment to Hull City, having been a season ticket holder for the last 15+years.

However, underneath Emma is a ‘home bird’ and enjoys time with family and friends. Born and bred in East Yorkshire, certainly a local rose. With her finger on the pulse, you can be confident that your accounting problems are understood.

Together we can help your business grow

Even if you're already the leader in your industry, you will have opportunities to improve the profitability of your business. It’s not always easy to achieve, but it's certainly possible.

You need a plan of attack. Specifically, you need to find out exactly what your existing, and potential customers want - it's not always the lowest price. This forms the basis of your marketing plan.

You then need to organise your business so that you can delight your customers. This forms the basis of your operations plan. This requires giving attention to your team members and equipping them with the resources and skills they need to excel in what they do... you must systematise your business.

Finally you need a management control plan in place to make sure everything is working the way you designed it to work. This will focus on the things you must get right to succeed. We call these things your Critical Success Factors. We measure how your business is performing in relation to them with the use of key performance Indicators.

As Michael Gerber, author of The E-Myth Revisited (Harper Business, 1995), said, ''The reason most businesses don't work is that the people who are supposed to be managing them are too busy Working IN them rather than working ON them."

He means that they're doing the technical work. They're working with their hands rather than with their heads. There's a limit to what the hands can do, but no limit to what the head can do.

We believe that as your Business Development Accountant our job is to help you reengineer your business so that it runs like a well-oiled machine. And once that's achieved, we want to help you keep it there!
