About Benson Wood + Co
If you want to grow your business, or you’re wondering how to set one up from scratch, you’ve come to the right place.
We’ve been there, done that and got the t-shirt when it comes to starting a business, and we know the challenges and rewards of running a successful one. We understand the journey that you’re on more than you know.
We work with many different businesses, but those that really value our services are typically from professional services and medical practices – in other words, businesses where time really equals money.
We have first-hand experience of the challenges you face. After all, as an accountancy firm, we know the pain of hiring and managing staff and needing our principal to be out winning work rather than working long hours on client jobs.
Back in 1937, Benson Wood was established as a small accountancy practice. Fast forward to today, and we have a long history (but we’re still based in Lanarkshire), over 600 clients, and have become a lot more than just qualified Chartered Accountants.
We may have grown a lot since then, but we’ve stayed true to our roots, and our values remain the same as the day we were founded: we exist to solve our clients’ problems and make their lives easier.
Clarity
We provide you with clarity of thought.
By acting as a sounding board for your plans, we aim to inform, guide and crystalise your thought process, providing you with a vison and clear direction for your business growth strategies.
Certainty
Benson Wood clients know with certainty that we have their backs. You can be certain that we’ll always do what we say we will, always within the agreed timescales.
Being in business creates plenty of uncertainty and we understand that it can feel like you’re treading a lonely path. But with our experts by your side there’s strength in numbers, and you can be certain that we’ll always point you in the right direction.
Trust
Building a relationship with a financial, tax and accountancy advisor takes time, and its vital that the relationship is based on trust.
Our clients trust our knowledge and integrity. We’ll guide you through the tax and accountancy minefield, ensuring that you stay on the right side of HRMC and Companies House.
