Owner-Managed Business

Put your confidence in a firm with the expertise to keep your business moving in a sound direction

Running a business and planning for the future in the midst of shifting regulation is increasingly complex.

It’s critical that your accountants understand your context and priorities. True expertise starts with trust.

We provide core compliance services such as annual accounts and tax return preparation, as well as tax advisory that allows your business to operate and track forward smoothly.

Our clients range from early-stage companies, such as start-ups and scale-ups, that are growing fast, taking on investment and accelerating towards an exit plan; to multi-generational family businesses that appreciate comprehensive services to help manage their financial position from both a commercial and private wealth perspective.

Why HaysMac?

Our people care about the success of your business and enjoy solving complex challenges

Family-run businesses often need closer support than larger corporations with in-house finance teams. It’s our job to make complexity digestible with clear advice, rather than expecting you to trawl through the technical weeds of compliance. We’ll present the options and implications, then recommend sensible, workable solutions.

Clients want peace of mind from a regulatory perspective and protection from the setbacks that life can throw at you. Your team at HaysMac will provide that resilience and risk mitigation. After several years, it’s no surprise that good advice results in close relationships.

Take advantage of opportunities today, building the structure to manage future scenarios

Clients want to pick up the phone and speak to someone they trust. Someone who’s got their back. We care about your business, but also what’s going on for your family – in terms of assets, inheritance and longer-term planning. We build relationships with lawyers and financial advisers, providing a lynchpin for joined-up decision making.

Our role as advisers is to keep you ahead of change. On behalf of our clients, we host quarterly meetings to discuss upcoming events, such as a new government budget or fiscal legislation. If we don’t know the answer, we’ll know somebody in our network who does.

Not sure what you need?

Our clients choose us because we understand their business. We offer intelligent solutions based on decades of experience within their sector and market, unlocking potential and avoiding pitfalls.

We know the challenges and opportunities our clients face, often before they do, as proven trusted advisors within their industry.

It’s unusual to find specialist sector know-how at every level of an accountancy firm. We like being a bit different at HaysMac. Meet the team member who’s ready to talk shop. Partner with the best.
