"I have operated my brickwork contract business since 1990 and in recent years I have expanded into property development. I approached Phil (O'Connor) in 2000 when I realised that we were outgrowing our existing accountant. I wanted to grow our business and was looking for the support from an accountant to help me achieve my ambitions. Phil’s approach was different from my previous experience with accountants, after spending some time getting to understand our business; together we set out a plan to achieve my ambitions both within the business and personally. His support has allowed my business to expand, develop, flourish and more recently, move to prestigious premises on Pride Park Derby.
His advice in tax planning matters has been excellent; within the business he has helped us navigate the minefield of the Construction Industry Scheme and personally, has helped us to minimize our tax including setting up a Self Invested Personal Pension.
I gain particular benefit from the regular meetings we have to discuss management information and accounts, finding this to be an effective working tool to improve profitability and efficiency. In both strategic and the operational issues I find Phil’s advice to be invaluable and I am pleased to recommend him and Essex Abel to you."
