Advancing a Better Future
At BKL, our biggest team has the smallest name. Over 100 people (and counting) make up our ABS team. The letters stand for Advance Business Services – but what does that mean?
In part it’s a specialist selection of business support services, designed to help growing businesses of all sizes to move in the right direction. Essential services like bookkeeping, management accounts, financial statements, company secretarial, VAT returns, tax returns and payroll. Services covered by the terms ‘outsourced finance’ and ‘compliance’ (though that’s a little dry for us).
More than that, it’s about advisory services. Giving strategic advice that helps companies to solve tough problems, manage risk and achieve their goals. Getting to know businesses, then applying our experience in their sector. Sectors that include fintech, music, film and more. We don’t just want to help people with running their businesses. We want to get them flying.
So, it’s about helping clients to advance. But we can only do that if we’re advancing ourselves. ABS, in collaboration with our audit, tax and other BKL teams, is playing a vital role in helping BKL to innovate and thrive, as we continue growing across multiple offices in a competitive industry. In the next part of this article, we’ll tell you more about the ABS team’s own journey.
You’ll have noticed that we said ‘over 100 people and counting’ earlier. We’re looking for more brilliant people to join ABS and enhance their careers. If you’re ready raise your game, and help us as we raise ours.
