Our team approach sets us apart from most individuals / organisations and we specialise in working with SMEs and Family businesses.
We have an ability to get ‘under the numbers’ and make sense of complex situations, as well as providing meaningful and concise reports, budgets and forecasts.
We work in ‘partnership’ with our clients to form an extended arm of their team and establish long-term relationships to help develop and grow their businesses.
We focus on informative and bespoke Financial Information and forecasts to help determine strategic direction and effect first class financial control – critical to the proper operation of any business.
Our team approach, using our multi-tiered and blended skillsets, means we can address the many and varied issues we come across, allowing us to ensure both that the basics are accurate and promptly produced, and that we are able to provide the top-level advice a business needs – timelier and more effectively than individuals can.
Being a boutique firm gives us sufficient scale, whilst providing affordability (often with fixed pricing) to the SME market, by allocating the right skill level to each different task.
Our team has a wide range of expertise and experience across many markets and situations to enable us to best support clients’ needs.
Playfair’s initial reputation was earned in the business turnaround environment. We therefore have the experience of dealing with businesses in distress or needing support. We have recently won a national award for our work in the turnaround environment and continue to represent clients in this space, helping to resuscitate their businesses.
We also bring this expertise to bear in our financial management work, being able to spot any early warning signs, preventing potential problems developing into larger issues.
