Henry Engelsman

Also known as DAP HENRY- DEDICATED, APPROACHABLE AND PROFESSIONAL

Henry has dedicated his time to helping SMEs in all sectors to grow and thrive and has a hands-on approach to all his business start-ups, guiding them through their tricky growth phases. He also helps in not just giving accounting and taxation advice, which is essential, but also provides advice on setting up systems and sourcing finance, if required.

Henry considers himself a Financial GP

“You should have regular health checks with your GP and it is no different with your Accountant. Remember prevention is better than cure.

No Client is too small or too large. Every Client is as important to me regardless of size of business or fee. Some of my largest clients have been recommendations from the smallest ones

I always provide a no cost/obligation first meeting.

A good accountant by giving the best advice to their client should virtually pay for themselves

Smaller businesses do not have or cannot afford their own Financial Director. Use your accountant wisely and that gap can be filled.

Have you asked the question? What does your accountant do for your business? How many people say “They prepare the Company Accounts” That is the wrong answer and you must expect and get more from them.

Let me have the opportunity to show you alternative ways and methods so you can be amazed at the difference it will make”
