Understanding that all clients are unique, tailored services are offered, complete with a promise to do whatever it takes to help clientele save money, remain compliant, and grow their business. Coincidentally, Jennifer Priestley began her accountancy training in the very same building that now houses Maple Accountancy Limited. Despite a prosperous career working for other successful accounting firms, Jenny possessed a passion for making a true difference in the industry, and so Maple Accountancy was born. Throughout the years, Jenny and the team have successfully navigated seismic changes such as economic collapses, a worldwide pandemic, and countless government budgets, and the impact these have had. Regardless of the economic environment, Maple Accountancy has maintained trusted relationships with partners and clients alike. The new millennium saw the company expand, and in the years since, a number of specialist services have been implemented, with Jenny’s daughter Sara entering the fold by establishing Maple Financial Solutions becoming a Financial Advisor and her son James joining as “Head of Finance and Client Relationships”, reinforcing the true family nature of the business. In addition to being skilled in a wide range of accounting services, an extensive portfolio of clients has resulted in the firm being well-versed with business clients from an array of sectors, such as manufacturing, recruitment, construction, martial arts, and the service industry, to name a few. Maple Accountancy’s priority has always been its clients, and it is the company’s priority to help its customers to grow and thrive in their respective markets. The approach adopted by the team is to always work collaboratively and openly with clients, knowing their limits and not being afraid to bring in specialist advice when it is needed, in order to provide the best possible service across the board. Maple Accountancy’s reason for having entered the industry is simple; as James explains, “we have a genuine passion for helping our clients to achieve their dreams.” Moreover, the firm believes that what separates it from the competition is its courage to make a real difference, doing everything that it can to make client dreams a reality. To this end, the team have worked tirelessly in their pursuit of excellence, adopting a strategy of continuous improvement combined with a key focus to go above and beyond in the field of customer service. We live in an age where digital technologies drive a service that can be described as “faceless”, yet Maple Accountancy goes against the grain and prides itself on unrivalled levels of engagement and mutually beneficial relationships with clients. With an array of positive client feedback and testimonials validating the high calibre of service provided, the results Maple Accountancy bring speak for themselves. Tom Sharp, Director at Derby Express Couriers had this to say, “Maple takes on your business as if it’s an extension of their own and genuinely cares for the outcome, they care and have a genuine interest in the direction that your company takes and where it’s going.” Looking ahead to the future, within the firm, there exists a keen sense that this is the beginning of an exciting new phase, with a number of significant strategic game changers set to be unveiled over the course of the next year with a focus on the endless benefits of innovation and technology.
