What our clients say…

I engaged Alan to prepare my accounts as I was dissatisfied with my previous accountant. Usually I submit my accounts in May or June then wait until the week before Christmas when there is much panic over signatures . My accounts get submitted at the tenth hour and then I receive a large bill. Alan operates a monthly billing system, which is so much easier for a small company to manage . He is also available at any time throughout the year to give help and guidance on accounting procedures and other matters that will help to improve profit margins. Alan's approach is a breath of fresh air . Dealing with the accountant is no longer the business equivalent of going to the dentist for removal of a wisdom tooth . I can wholeheartedly recommend Alan to any business that would like help and support with their financial affairs or even the more experienced book keepers that would like a prompt service and a sounding board for those nagging questions that pop up from time to time .

“I switched to Alan because of his QuickBooks expertise. He helped resolve the issues created by the previous firm I used, and has since provided continuous assistance ensuring our accounts are kept in order. His network is also useful in helping solve other business issues that arise. His service is flexible - from background guidance through to a full bookkeeping service and so great for anyone running their own show and wanting accounting support.” Robert Rae Novitco Ltd November 14, 2012
Alan guided and supported me through the set up of my new business, he's been an absolute star (as I call him) I remember our first conversation and thinking what a kind genuine man.

Alan is very passionate about his job role and does not judge, he's always there to help I can 110% recommend Alan Hemingway Consulting.

At ELK we run monthly management reports to track how the business is doing and to plan for the future. Alan has recently spent some time helping me to make the process a surprising amount more efficient and informative. In particular he has shown me how to set up different codes so that we can monitor how different income streams are performing. He has also shown me how in one easy manoeuvre to do month on month comparatives for the whole year, as well as explaining very clearly and simply how our rather complex VAT system needs to be accounted for. I am deeply grateful to Alan for sharing his expertise. I was genuinely astonished at some of the things our accounting package has been able to do all along - a bit like discovering you have some more gears on your sports car. And more than anything I was impressed at his ability to put it all into clear and easily understandable English. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Although we thought we had a pretty good service with our previous accountants, you have proved that it was average to say the least ! ... Alan has spent considerable time helping us to get up and running and now we have excellent accounting for a very affordable fixed monthly fee with someone who is clearly expert in his field.

Why choose a chartered management accountant ?

Chartered Management Accountants are primarily trained in industry and are members of CIMA ( Chartered Institute Of Management Accountants ) which is one of the main accountancy bodies. They are trained to the same high standard as other accountants but have a particular emphasis through their training on decision making and business strategy within companies. Since most of them are trained in industry, Chartered Management Accountants are used to dealing with both people who are comfortable with finance numbers but also those who are not. This means that we are adept at helping you to understand your numbers without blinding you with “accountant speak”, we aim to make your numbers meaningful to you and your business.
