Whatever your reason for changing accountants we make the process simple.

Following an initial consultation we prepare a proposal, including all services you require together with a quote. We offer fixed fee options for most services, so there will not be any year end surprises.

Once you accept our proposal through a simple online process, we will take care of everything. We contact your current accountant to get professional clearance and all documentation necessary to seamlessly transition to become our client.

What is an Initial Consultation?

We only work with customers who are a good fit – where we can add value and improve the lives of our clients. During the initial consultation you’ll meet a Director who will oversee your engagement and also be your point of contact.

We will discuss your business – understand your story and take time to understand not only where you are now, but your future plans and ambitions.

We’ll explore what services you require, and what may bring added value, such as our advisory services.

We offer everything right from bookkeeping and invoicing to management accounts, budgeting and financial briefings.

What can Evans Bond do that my Current Accountant Cannot?

Whilst accountants will offer you compliance services – bookkeeping, annual accounts and tax compliance, we pride ourselves in partnering with our clients. We take time to fully understand our clients’ business so we can add value.

We know some businesses feel their accountants don’t have time for them, or do not understand their needs. As a small business focussed on serving local clients we appreciate the needs of our clients.

What Should I Do Now?

We are proud of our services and how we help our clients succeed. To find out how we can help you on your journey contact us for a free consultation here or by calling 01481 710899.

“It was nice to have a presentation where it didn’t feel like you had only looked at the papers for five minutes before coming in.”

That was the feedback we received from one of our clients after the first board meeting we attended to provide a financial update.

We are different – we are picky about our clients, and we choose who we will work well with and who we can add value for. The quote above nicely confirms our approach.

Why have a Virtual CFO

Boards often have weak spots in the skill set and background of the Directors; often this in the area of finance. Whether you are a building firm, architect or trust company, the need for financial understanding is at the forefront of decision making. We work with you to ensure we pitch our updates at the right level for you. We don’t commoditise our work, and that is why we add such value through bespoke reporting.

Larger companies may need a full time CFO, but many small and medium sized business just don’t have that requirement. But, the importance of a finance voice around the decision making is essential. Engaging us will not just bring the senior expertise to your leadership team, but also a team to support in all aspects of financial management of your business.

Outsourcing for Regulated Business

Our background in fiduciary management accounting, client accounting and bookkeeping means we are well placed to support regulated entities in managing their finances. Regulatory requirements such as the Financial Resources Requirement Rules mean the understanding we bring ensures you keep your eye on the metrics that matter, managing your finances to stay fully compliant.

We build a relationship with our clients, and often sit on site with our client businesses to ensure we are bedded into the company. Whilst we have the resources to always work remotely, sitting as part of the team in client offices allows for synergies and a greater understanding of the client’s business.

Outsourcing for Non-Regulated Business

Whilst non-regulated businesses are not under the same pressures to comply with complex rules, the need to keep on top of finances and allow them to influence decision making cannot be underestimated. Many entrepreneurs and business owners need to be released from working on finances for their business to focus on the work they want to do.

We offer multiple levels of support ranging from simply preparing annual accounts and tax returns, bookkeeping and invoicing, regular financial updates and reporting, budgetting and virtual CFO services.

So the people of the U.K. who turned up at the polls declared by a small but not insignificant margin that they would like to exit the EU. There’s been little analysis of the potential impact of this result for Guernsey in the run-up to vote for one simple reason: it’s impossible to tell.

That’s the problem with this result – those voting leave are not voting for a substantial package of agreements and treaties which will need to take the place of the EU for Britain. They have voted for an ideal which is just a very small part of the bigger picture. A picture which now needs to be drawn with the rest of the world.

Guernsey, a small, well regulated centre of excellence for finance is not part of the UK and not part of the EU. The relationship with the EU is a complicated one, governed by protocol three and as a “third country”. Effectively, Guernsey can trade with the EU freely without being a member. This is on the back of its status as a crown dependency of Great Britain.

Now the work is underway. As the UK negotiates its exit of the EU, Guernsey should work with the other crown dependencies to ensure its needs are met.

But what seems like a potentially painful and troublesome process also presents opportunities. Guernsey is often viewed as a tax haven, or low-tax jurisdiction and is subject to regular media dirty-linen-washing. Guernsey could come out of this process with an improved image. In fact, the Guernsey financial economy has been shown to contribute significantly to the UK and it is in Britain’s best interest to ensure the continued prosperity of this little island.

The immediate impacts of this vote will become clear in the coming days. The stock market slump has come as expected, and is unlikely to pick up during early trading. The markets fully expected a remain vote – the markets do not like uncertainty. Also the free movement of people around the EU is unlikely to be stopped immediately. However, the need for visas to travel around Europe in future may not be too far away.

France’s comments on the potential UK exit have indicated that this could well be an unpleasant process of negotiating the withdrawal. And whilst the UK contributes economically more to the EU than it takes out (net imports) there is unlikely to be a political desire to significantly change the current trade arrangements.

In Guernsey our politicians will have this issue dominate their term. With so much uncertainty as to the future trade and political relationship there is much to do. But in these early days it is very much business as usual.
