Business Type: A New-Growth Business

Lindsay from Stride Pr Ltd

Stride Pr Ltd

Before working with WBS… 

As owner of Stride PR Ltd, a multi-award-winning communications consultancy that specialises in supporting the Education Sector, I know a lot about creative communications and how to achieve results with PR. As my business grew, however, it was starting to become obvious that I needed ongoing support with the back-office-type-stuff.  

First and foremost, I needed support with my annual accounts, setting up and managing PAYE, conversion to a Ltd Company, and VAT registration and processing etc. These types of tasks are never fun as they are quite complex, but they are nevertheless, extremely important to the business. That’s why I needed someone I could trust and when I met Dona, I knew I was safe in WBS’s hands.  

Now, I’m growing with confidence 

Compared to other accountants, Dona and Andrew are a lot more proactive and they really care about the businesses they work with. Throughout the pandemic, they went above and beyond with the support and advice they gave me, and it was instrumental in allowing us to grow significantly once that challenging time was behind us.  

Working with WBS has allowed us to grow with confidence because they have become an additional member of the Stride team, rather than a bought-in service. They focus on building long-lasting relationships with the businesses they work with and they care about their success. I genuinely feel like I have a team member who has my back and this to me is invaluable. After all, if you’re going to grow a successful business, you need a strong and invested team behind you. 

WBS are extremely generous with their time 

If you want friendly and responsive accountants who genuinely care and who will become a part of your team, then you should be working with Dona and Andrew. They really know their stuff! 

Yes, they are utterly professional, they give superb business advice, and they’ve kept me on track financially and mentally as I’ve grown the company, but it’s what they do beyond this that really sets them apart. They go out of their way to help you, they are extremely generous with their time, and they care about you as person (rather than just treating you as business).  

Knowing that you have wise counsel to hand and people who will support you and be your sounding board whenever you need them is an extremely valuable service to us.
