Based in Buckshaw Village, S&S Northern are an international supplier of Gas Safety Solutions. Ryans have worked with the team at S&S over the past 8 years.
Following an initial meeting where we undertook our Second Opinion Service review (SOS), we managed to identify several opportunities where we could add value to their business, effectively protect their assets, grow their wealth and maximise their household income.
There was an instant rapport between the team at S&S Northern and Ryans which meant we were able to work closely alongside them and build a strong working relationship, establishing greater trust and in turn opening more opportunities for success.
“Throughout the eight years we’ve dealt with Ryans they have given us great advice enabling us to go international and increase S&S Northern to a multi million pound organisation but still keeping our family values. Also, and very importantly, they make us feel like valued clients. Whenever we ring Ryans there is always someone at the other end of the phone to answer our questions and give us advice”
Steve McMahon, MD, S&S Northern
Over the subsequent years as the company has grown and faced new challenges, as well as completing the annual statutory accounts, we’ve also assisted them with a number of business improvement programs including:
- Transitioning away from invoice discounting
- Growth strategies
- Increasing sales
- Increasing margins
- Review of customers
- Expanding into worldwide markets
- Changing banks
- Remuneration strategies
- Bonus schemes
- Integrating IT solutions
- Reviewing business systems
We continue to work closely with directors and are on hand to support all of their business needs. However, being an accountant is more than just crunching the numbers- it’s about understanding what those who are involved want to achieve, helping them achieve it and then continuously being there to support them when they need you.
Working alongside people you get along with and can relate to makes it feel much less like work and more like helping a friend. Like many of our clients at Ryans, we see S&S as friends as well as clients.
