Sarah Wynne Shortlisted for Chwarae Teg Womenspire 2017 Award for Women in Business/Enterprise

Hi All!

I’m extremely proud to say I’ve made the shortlist for the Chwarae Teg Womenspire 2017 Award for Women in Business/Enterprise! 

The category is for women who have setup a business and in their words “bucked the trend” with regards scale and who also promote other women in business in Wales.

Anyone who has met me will already know that I believe the sky is the limit and I am doing my best to prove that women can have a successful business whilst also having a great family life and being totally committed to, and there for their children. You DO NOT have to chose between the two!

Do you know a women with a business idea?

Do you know a women who has a business idea but doesn’t know how to get started? Or who wants to grow their business? If so get them to ring me on 07811 394558 or email me [email protected]. I’d be happy to hear their idea and give any support I can.

Wondering where the future will take you?

Me too!  Could this be the face of the future of Wynne and Co?

One thing’s for sure my future will always involve helping people develop themselves and their businesses, whether its be giving financial/business advice, helping minimise their tax bills or just giving plain old moral support when cash flow is giving them sleepless nights or staff aren’t performing as well as they should.

I repeatedly hear the same issues and challenges from my clients and friends in business – you are not alone and if you think I have all of this sorted in my own company then you are mistaken.  At Wynne and Co we can work with you, becoming an extension to your team to help you through these struggles. Contact me if you want to grab a coffee and discuss how: [email protected]

Don’t have anyone to look after the kids whilst you come for a meeting with us?

So bring them with you!

Both Catrin and I have kids and are well used to the fun that is trying to have a conversation with the kids in the background.  We even have some toys to keep them occupied in the office.

 

And finally……..

A huge thank you to those who have supported me and to the ladies who I know nominated me for this award.  I will let you know how I get on.

Wynne and Co win 2017 Carms Means Biz Award for Business and Professional Services

Hi Everyone!

I’m pleased to announce that Wynne and Co won the 2017 Carms Means Biz award for Business and Professional Services! I find it difficult to find the words to truly express how proud I am of the Wynne and Co team right now and how excited I am about our plans for the forthcoming year and beyond.

2016 – What a year?!

2016 brought about a substantial change for us when we moved to Forestry House. At first we felt somewhat lost in the huge building and we missed the Coracle Coaches team with whom we had shared our previous home. Both businesses had grown substantially and needed additional office space. We have been surprised how quickly we have grown into the building. We took on two new members of staff including a PA for me enabling me to spend more time with clients and ensuring that they have a point of contact at all times in office hours.

 

 What does the future hold for Wynne & Co?

We are currently ensuring that all our clients comply with the huge changes in UK GAAP and understand the effect of the Chancellors changes to the taxation of dividends.  I won’t bore you to death on this – if you want more information feel free to drop me an email.

We are actively working towards the introduction of Making Tax Digital (MTD), which at present will be brought in for unincorporated business with a turnover over £85,000 from April 2018. Watch out for our email updates on this with more information shortly.  If however you want to discuss this now, then again feel free to drop me an email. We were very pleased after a recent routine inspection to be told we are way ahead of other firms on preparation for this.

Xero-certified accountantsWe are Xero Certified Partners and are actively promoting the use of the software. It is both affordable and simple to use.  We charge £60 plus VAT her hour for training and pride ourselves in our ability to get clients “up and running” in an hour and a half.

Clients using the software can generally save money on their year end accounts fees.  Bad news for Wynne and co right??? WRONG!  If you save money on your fees, you tell people and we get more clients!

Want to know more? Drop Catrin in the office an email or give her a call on 01267 240083 today.

 

And finally……………….. we’re recruiting! 

We’ve just filled our vacancy for a payroll and book keeping assistant – more news to follow soon!

Thank you and we look forward to working with you during 2017 and beyond!

We’ve Moved!

Wynne and co new address

Business as usual, but from a new home!

It’s difficult for me to comprehend the path that Wynne and Co has been on over the last 3 years, and how quickly we have grown.

Taking the plunge to build my own firm was by no means an easy decision. I’m sure you’ll be able to appreciate the jump from employed to self employed is a personal journey which no one can prepare you for, it is fraught with unseen difficulties, a multitude of decisions and a continuous need to follow your gut – which is seriously scary at times.

Many businesses will be able to appreciate this feeling of entering the void, and many of you will have become accustomed to it – knowing that even though you can not foresee the future, right now, this is a great business move.

And so 3 years after leaving a successful and secure job to pursue the development of my very own firm, I am proud to see that my unique values of transparency, personalised support and approachability have materialised into a team of highly competent accountancy staff, a business model I’m proud to have my name attached to and a move from our humble 2 roomed office (it did become a little bit of a squeeze!)to a wonderful building where Wynne & Co, our clients and our staff can flourish.

Our new home has ample space for our growing team and our developing aspirations but also more space to meet you and give you the space and time you deserve.

We even have a room dedicated to children!

Being a working mum to a 4 year old, I know too well that its not always possible to have child cover, it just means that we can go through your accounts whilst your child or children have something to occupy them….a very small gesture, but a useful one – so please don’t shy away if you have your babies with you..all welcome here!

Even if you don’t have the time to come into see us, we are always happy to answer your questions. Just send us a quick Email and we’ll get back to you ASAP.

We’ve set up a dedicated email address just for your questions. Just email [email protected]

To all of you who have allowed us to work with your business, to continually put your trust in us to look after your best interests, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I sincerely hope you continue to find our focus on Transparency, Personalised Support & Approachability a breath of fresh air and an asset to your company/business.

Our new address and contact details are below! We are so excited to see you. Please pop in and see us!
