These may not be the first words that spring to mind when you think of accountants, but Harwood Hutton has them all:
Approachability
We make the somewhat unusual assumption that a client who asks to speak to a partner has a perfect right, and probably a good reason, to do so right away. We welcome your ideas for the future of your business when they are just ideas, not researched, costed and laid out as a formal business plan. We will talk them through and help in any way we can in our capacity as qualified and experienced accountants, and as down to earth business people with an objective point of view.
Speed of response
Speed is a word our clients frequently apply to our business. There are two main reasons for this. First, we have an excellent, committed and skilful team: each member understands their own part of the job and lets others get on with theirs. Second, we have invested heavily in IT and in training our people to use it effectively. The resulting efficiency leads to very good value for money.
Common sense
Several of our partners have held senior posts in industry and can combine their natural common sense with the specialist knowledge of their profession and a sound business approach. It makes a very powerful combination. All recommendations for your business that come from us will be practical, workable suggestions, not complicated reports fit only for the filing cabinet.
Imagination
Sometimes an unconventional approach to a common problem helps clients see issues within their organisation more clearly, we have the imagination to disregard convention. We realise how important it is to train tomorrows professionals, in fact we were the first accountants in the Thames Valley to become recognised as an Investor in People. If you think that we are just another firm of accountants, we would like to meet you!
