Equation's top qualities: Great results, expert, on time

"Stephanie is an accountant with a difference. She stands out from the crowd.

She and her company have a totally new approach to accountancy which is clear, professional and transparent. She is highly professional, listens to her client and then suggests the best way forward.

What really makes Stephanie stand out is her desire to see your business grow. She is prepared to work with the client on this and draws on her considerable experience, both in growing her company and professional knowledge.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Stephanie to any business whether they are just starting out or already well established."

Equation's top qualities: Personable, expert, high-integrity, creative

"I have worked with Stephanie for a couple of years now and have found that she is not only extremely good at what she does, but she is also pleasure to work with.

To say I was a luddite as far as my accounts go, is an understatement. With Stephanie's support not only has she helped me understand my accounts and helped me set up systems that help me understand but she also makes it easy for Equation to use the information as part of their on-going support during the year.

Recommending Stephanie is something I do without hesitation or reservation."

Daniels Fish and Chips

Equation's top qualities: Expert knowledge of my industry, responsive, dedicated

Daniels Fish and Chips is a chain with five branches across Weymouth, Portland and Poole who employs over 60 members of staff.

"Due to the rapid expansion of my business in recent years, I need to work with like-minded people who are sharp, technically proficient and understand how my business operates. I am extremely busy over-seeing the smooth running of my company and need a service which is fast, responsive and tailored to my needs.

Stephanie and I have worked together for over ten years and throughout this time she has helped me in all aspects of  business from the accounting and finances to implementing effective operational processes and systems.

As well as Stephanie's financial aptitude, her strengths lie in quickly being able to assess a company’s finances and operational systems and align them seamlessly for maximum efficiency and profit.

Unusually for an accountant, Stephanie has a naturally creative flair and a bubbly, personable personality. Her balance of open mindedness and attention to detail coupled with her ability find to out-of-the-box answers, I believe is really key to her success in business. Having run businesses herself for over ten years, put simply, Stephanie’s clients understand her and she understands her clients, as well as their businesses.

The Equation team take care of my day-to-day bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll services, annual accounts, administration and PR. I find Equation's flexible opening times really useful. The fish and chip shops are open in the early evening and having access to a PA / bookkeeper / accountant as queries arise, means I am able to operate my business more smoothly than using someone who sticks rigidly to rigid 9-5 hours.

I know I would be unable to find this level of service anywhere else and wish Stephanie and her team every success.  I know how hard they work to ensure they take care of their clients and go that important extra mile to ensure I have all the tools I need to run my business."

Dorset Fire Engineers

Equation's top qualities: Personable, expert knowledge or systems and processes, high-integrity

I have used Equation’s services for over four years and have always found Stephanie and her team to be very helpful, responsive and understanding of my business needs.

In the past I have used accountants who have not been able to help in every aspect of my business. Stephanie has helped me implement and maintain internal systems and processes which aid the efficiency and smooth running of my company.

Equation also helped me achieve the ISO 9001: 2000 audit in Management System Certification and are involved in the continual updating of the records.

I need a service which offers more than just traditional accountancy services and Equation understand my business and are perfect for my particular needs.

Eco Angel

Equation's top qualities: Personable, jargon free, provides explanations, high integrity.

I have been running Eco-Angel, an eco friendly cleaning service in Weymouth and Dorchester for the last three years.

I met Stephanie at Equation Accounting in 2007 and am very grateful for her help in de-mystifying the accountancy and bookkeeping process.  With her expert accountancy support I have been able to collate my financial records simply and effectively, using one of Equations simple filing kits, thus releasing my time for the building of my business. 

Equation collect all my information regularly and complete the accounts to a very high standard.  The team communicate clearly and effectively and this has definitely helped to empower me and feel in control of the finance side of running a small business.
