Winchester Bourne Ltd

Winchester Bourne have looked after us as we have grown from 12 employees up to the current 200+. They have provided us with the flexibility to grow and we then drew on their expertise as we went through an acquisition. They have been highly cost-effective, but we have always had their years of accounting experience to call upon, without having to pay for it when we didn't need it. Happy to recommend them.

"As my small business grew a number of years ago, I realised that I needed some specialist accountancy help. I searched numerous options and found Winchester Bourne Limited. I arranged a visit to meet the owner Sarah Chadbourne and was very impressed by the general business professionalism, and secondly that even as a small business, I was taken seriously. Through the years I have been supported by her wonderful staff and latterly specifically by Alison Hodges. The service has always been first class and delivered on time. I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Winchester Bourne Limited."

Impact

We have been working with Winchester Bourne since 2011. Our business is growing and we looked for a partner that could take responsibility for all our accounts and book keeping functions to free the management team to focus on core business. Likewise we looked to improve the overall management information for the Board. Winchester Bourne have been extremely helpful, flexible and supportive in working with us to produce accurate and prompt financial reporting on a monthly basis. They are understanding of our time pressures, very accommodating of our requests and desire for continual improvement. WB successfully migrated our accounts from Sage to Xero in 2017 which is excellent as it gives me up to the minute visibility of our accounts. It's great to work with them as a local firm and we can highly recommend their services

Over many years I have been a client of Winchester Bourne and Claire Clements has been my dedicated accounts manager During this time I have truly found them extremely efficient, knowledgeable, helpful and also friendly, all of which are qualities which I look for when dealing with what can sometimes be very complex issues. What’s more and unlike many internet based accountancy firms, Winchester Bourne are always and conveniently at the end of a phone which is reassuring and essential when completing detailed accounts. I would recommend both Claire and Winchester Bourne without question."
Shaun Manzi
Managing Director SPM Property Development Limited

We initially approached Winchester Bourne through recommendation from another local business . Our knowledge of accounting, payroll and bookkeeping were basic to say the least. Through a series of enlightening and informative meetings we quickly came to realise that a relationship with Sarah and her team would be invaluable. Step by step we worked together to outsource all of our back office to Winchester Bourne. The relief and security that was offered to us made absolute sense and left both the Director and Manager with more time to focus on the day to day running of the store. Having a dedicated team at the end of the phone to answer any questions and knowing that thorough and rigorous monitoring of our accounts, payroll and company data were all in place was a huge relief. We now have a streamline way of running monthly payroll, support with personal and business taxation and VAT, with reports on request and solid end of year accounts. Winchester Bourne has changed the way we run our business and we highly recommend them."

We opened in September 2006 and started using Winchester Bourne in April 2007. Since then they have been with us every step of the way as we have grown from 6 employees to our current 200+. Winchester Bourne has adapted to our needs and provides a fully functioning accounts department handling our 4-weekly management accounts, budgets, forecasts, and payroll. Winchester Bourne have been able to provide us with precisely the right level of support and expertise at the right time - and all for a very competitive price. I happily recommend them to anyone.
