Our process: clear, professional, effective
Our tried and trusted process routinely leads to better outcomes for our clients. We know this method works, with the results to prove it (so do read on for examples of real clients’ savings and experiences). Here’s how we do it…
Step 1: Free consultation with Simon
It all starts with a simple conversation: no cost, no obligation. Best of all, there’s very little for you to prepare in advance. Instead, we’ll do all the leg work – taking time to understand your challenges, goals, and financial picture, to see how best we could help.
Step 2: Investigation and proposal
Based on what we’ve learned, and our many years of industry expertise, we’ll design a bespoke recommendation tailored to your goals. We believe in fair, transparent pricing, so if you choose to continue to this stage, we’ll charge a one-off fee of £1,500. However, if we can’t create real benefits for you – either saving you tax (often far exceeding this figure) or providing the commercial outcome you’re looking for – we’ll happily refund this money.
Step 3: Implementation
With the best possible pathway chosen, we’ll help you set out on the journey. We work in close collaboration with our clients, so we have the skilled team on hand to carry out the work you’ll need – or we can guide your accountant to take the right steps on your behalf.
Discover what’s possible and put your plans into action with our unique approach.
Your value guarantee
At Hive, we believe in the outcomes we deliver. So much so, that we’re happy to provide a full refund if we’re unable to yield any benefits.
An initial consultation is completely free, with no obligation to continue working with us. If you choose to progress to our Fact Find Design process, you’ll pay a one-off sum of £1,500, plus VAT. However, if we conclude this and are unable to provide a solution that will save you tax, or provide you with the commercial outcome you need, you’ll receive a full refund. Any further work based on this will be charged separately, following your agreement.
Can’t my existing Accountant do this?
Chances are, your current accountant is quietly ticking the boxes when it comes to the essentials of practice finances.
However, there are some things that a general accountant simply can’t do. Because we’re laser-focused on the issues affecting dentistry (and only dentistry), we’re able to take a deeper view.
This means we’ll proactively suggest solutions, improvements and savings that a regular accountant wouldn’t even think of.
