Key Industries

Construction & Trades

Builders, joiners, electricians, plumbers. Independent construction and trades businesses are responsible for hundreds of jobs in our local area. You’re responsibility for building a better area, housing our increasing population, and building our renewable energy infrastructure.

You didn’t go into business because you’re an accountant. You went into business because you’re good at what YOU do. Let us take care of your bookkeeping, payroll, accounts & tax, leaving you to do the job you’re good at.

If you’re looking at taking the big step from “working for yourself” to “building a business”, if we’re already taking care of your day-to-day numbers and compliance with comprehensive accounting solutions, we’re a short step away from creating a business plan, and helping your build your business into something great.

Let us build up your business numbers, and you can build up our local area one brick, plank, plug or pipe at a time.

Local Food & Retail

Grimsby, Louth, and the surrounding Lincolnshire area, is full of small, independent businesses working hard to make ends meet, and to provide great food, drink and retail within the area,

We’re a local, independent business ourselves, and we pride ourselves on helping as many of these businesses as we can with our services.

Food, Drink & Retail are the backbone of our area. It often goes unnoticed just how much small business owners in this sector have to work in their business, just to keep it running, and make a profit.

We’ve noticed, and we’re here to help ease the burden of running your business. We’ll take care of your numbers, so you can focus on making your business a success.

Let us serve your business, so you can serve the people of Grimsby, Louth & the surrounding area.

Manufacturing & Engineering

Our Operations Director, Jordan Smith, originally graduated with a degree in Physics, with a view to embarking on a career path in renewable engineering. It was only during one summer, helping out in the “family business”, that he had a change of heart and set out to retrain as an accountant. That passion for manufacturing and engineering still remains, and he has passed on his keen eye for the industry to the rest of the team. We understand that your sector has a heavy focus on production costs, high levels of material stock / work-in-progress, and large labour costs.

We can clear the fog of how your business is performing by putting bespoke management accounts in place, tailored to your industry, and your business. These can focus on ensuring your margins are where you want them to be, and that you are recognising income and costs at the right time, keeping your business is tax-efficient.

We can also support you as you grow and develop new ideas. Whether your looking to scale up operations, or produce brand new products and technology, we can provide strategic scenario plans and assist with Research & Development tax credits, to put more of our profit back into your business to project it forward.

Food Processing

Our Managing Director, Andrew Smith, who founded A G Smith & Co, worked as a Finance Director in the food processing industry for over a decade, and he made sure to pass his insight on to the rest of the team.

We understand that your sector focuses on managing production costs, regulatory compliance, and may be subject to seasonal fluctuations. By assisting with your bookkeeping and putting cloud accounting solutions in place, we can offer real-time insights into your business performance, enabling you to make proactive decisions.

We’re also able to help plan for various scenarios in your business. Our team can conduct cost analysis to identify your best product mix and your most profitable products. We can assist with budgeting, forecasting, and customer purchasing trends to help you drive revenue, enhance profitability and improve cash flow.

We can also support your growth and expansion plans. Whether you’re looking to scale up operations or enter new markets, we can provide strategic scenario plans to assist in your decision-making.

Partner with us to navigate the complexities of the food processing industry with confidence and efficiency.
