Comprehensive Accountancy & Proactive Business Support (Accountant Switch)

The Challenge

Cleaning & Co Solutions, a dynamic and growing provider of commercial and residential cleaning services across London and Essex, had reached a pivotal stage in its business journey. As their operations expanded and their client base diversified, the complexity of their financial management increased. Their existing accounting firm, while perhaps adequate in earlier stages, was no longer meeting their evolving needs. The directors found themselves requiring more than just basic compliance; they needed proactive financial insights, strategic advice, and a partner who could truly keep pace with their growth and provide the tailored support a rapidly expanding service business demands. This gap in service quality and foresight prompted their decision to seek a new accountant.

Pennyhills’ Solution

Pennyhills stepped in to provide Cleaning & Co Solutions with a comprehensive suite of accountancy services, designed to not only manage their day-to-day financial needs but also to strategically support their ongoing expansion. Our solution involved:

We facilitated a smooth and efficient transfer of all financial records, historical data, and statutory information from their previous accountant. Our team ensured minimal disruption to their operations, allowing Cleaning & Co Solutions to focus on delivering their services without administrative headaches.

Beyond routine bookkeeping and year-end accounts, we implemented a more proactive approach to their financial management. This included regular performance reviews, insightful reporting, and identifying key financial trends relevant to a growing service business.

We provided bespoke advice on managing their expanding workforce, optimising their operational costs, and navigating potential tax implications associated with growth, ensuring their financial structure supported their business ambitions.

Recognising their unmet needs with the previous provider, we prioritised clear, timely communication and easy accessibility, ensuring the directors always had the support and answers they needed, when they needed them.

Key Results & Impact

By making the strategic decision to switch to Pennyhills, Cleaning & Co Solutions gained a true financial partner whose service capabilities matched their ambitious growth trajectory. The transition was seamless, and the proactive, insightful support from Pennyhills allowed the directors to confidently navigate their business evolution. They now benefit from accountancy services that genuinely meet their growing needs, providing not just compliance but also strategic guidance that helps them make informed decisions and continue their expansion with greater financial clarity and control.

As our cleaning business grew, we needed an accountant who could truly keep up. Pennyhills stepped in with seamless support and proactive advice that our previous firm couldn’t match. They’ve been instrumental in helping us manage our expanding operations with confidence!
