"I was referred to Mitchells by my bank manager a few years ago as he was concerned that I was not getting the quality service and advice which my business demanded. Additionally, we have had Sage accounting software for several years but were unsure on how to use this or even the benefits it could give us. We had no meaningful management information, which meant we had no key indicators on performance or facility for decision making.
Since becoming a client of Mitchells, we now produce monthly management accounts and have a basis for decision making. As well as this we now can review our out-goings and identify where inefficiencies occur enabling us to correct such deficiencies at an early stage. Mitchells have guided us through every stage of our business development and continue to monitor our progress and, by allowing them to put Management Systems in place, it has given us the freedom to move our business forward.
In addition, Mitchells use their industry knowledge to highlight areas of concern and areas which we should review more closely. They have introduced us to an industry specialist in cost savings and also to a VAT specialist who is in the process of making a re-claim on our behalf.
I would endorse Mitchells as a one-stop-shop accountant for all your Care Home needs."
"We have been clients of Mitchells since incorporation in 2004 and have they have assisted in the growth of our company from one learning disability home through to nine spread across the UK.
Mitchells continually offer industry-specialist advice, which is a rare commodity these days, when reviewing our figures as well as corporate finance problem-solving on any prospective acquisitions. They have assisted us on several troublesome and rather fragile areas each of which, if not safely negotiated, may have hindered the company’s growth.
We would recommend Mitchells to any Company, particularly in the Healthcare sector, that require industry specialist advice and are looking for business growth and financial stability"
"We have been clients of Mitchells for several years. During this time we have grown from one Care Home to currently eight located in England. Mitchells have offered support in every aspect of the company’s growth, from implementing management information systems, payroll support, Sage accounting assistance and yearend accounts preparation through to and including company acquisitions and tax saving initiatives.
Mitchells expertise has been imperative in the company’s rapid growth and has saved the company money and valuable time as well as solving problematic issues on countless occasions.
The service they have given has been second to none and knowing they have a team who are experienced in dealing with Care Homes, gives me the reassurance I needed."
"We have been clients at Mitchells for many years and the Care Home experience that Mitchells possesses has helped us enormously. They conducted a Capital Allowance claim on our behalf last year resulting in a huge tax saving for us. They have also currently introduced us to a VAT rebate professional who is working on a claim for a substantial amount of VAT Input Tax recovery (This is to be estimated to be for a value in excess of £100,000.)
As well as this they have produced forecasts for our business, assisted in corporate finance areas and made recommendations on the tax savings which will result.
We would recommend Mitchells as accountants and business advisers to any Care Homes. "
"I was referred to Mitchells for the acquisition of a Care Home. I was informed they had Corporate Finance expertise in this field and as I was purchasing the shares of the business, it made sense to be with a firm of Accountants/Business Advisers who had experience of and were familiar in this business sector.
Mitchells kept in constant contact with me throughout the deal and only by continuous dialogue and review by them, revealed that the proposed purchase was overpriced by approximately £300,000. I successfully renegotiated the price based on the information received.
Mitchells worked extremely closely with the solicitor acting on the deal and I believe by working as a team speared-headed by Mitchells, saved me close to £350,000. They even highlighted the pitfalls of such a deal to me in this transaction which all goes to show how the sense of working with an accountant who really knows the industry and understands the transaction."
