The end of 2019 saw Avanti reach 20 years trading, a landmark that MD Victoria Sharp is understandably rather proud of. The last 2 decades have seen the landscape for business owners change dramatically. 1999 saw news articles about the rise of ‘net-friendly’ computers being purchased, and here we are in 2020 working with cloud-based systems, having seen HMRC implement one of the biggest shake ups to the tax system with the introduction of making Tax Digital for VAT registered businesses last year.
1999 saw predictions that online business would grow tenfold in just 5 years, back then, Facebook, Xero, PayPal, and Twitter to name a few were all far from becoming the household names that they are today, never mind the business tools that help business owners to process payments, and market products & services to clients globally. Of course, this has also seen the high street change dramatically.
Avanti has evolved as a company to utilise these tools and develop to meet the growing and changing needs of their clients as Victoria explains, “20 years!….Steve, Jan & Victoria the Directors of Avanti are proud to be able to reach this massive milestone in their successful trading history.
We would like to thank everyone who has been involved in supporting The Avanti Group (UK) Ltd reaching 20 years of success. Success that has only been possible because of the support of our clients, who rely on our excellent services, which is delivered by an incredible team at Avanti, who go that extra mile to make sure our clients are taken care of.
We can reflect on our 20 years history; learning from mistakes and building a bigger and better business based on client’s feedback. We can look at improvements in processes to become more efficient, to meet changes in legalisation and ensuring we are at the forefront of technology in our industry. We can reflect and be proud of our successes from being nominated AAT Professional Member, Future50 Member, Gold Xero Certification, together with testimonials and referrals from clients that are always appreciated and far reach any advertising tool.
We have always kept our core business from bookkeeping, payroll, accountancy and taxation at the heart of what we do – but over the last 20 years we have complimented these services by supporting local businesses with our Avanti Networking events and launching our Franchise opportunity – allowing the Avanti services to be shared throughout the UK, providing clients a ‘local’ service and accountants with support in running their own business to the high standard Avanti has maintained throughout.
We are proud that the company goes from strength to strength each year, with exciting projects on the horizon….watch this space!”
The way Avanti do business has certainly changed, but one thing will always remain, their ethos to be modern accountants with traditional values, supporting clients to help move them and their business forward.
There is little time for celebration, as Victoria and the team have filed all clients’ tax returns “on line.on time. no fine” for the 20th consecutive year. If you’re looking for an accountant who could make a real difference to your business in 2020, contact Avanti today.
