Brook Business Solution (www.brook.ie)

"We have used Colum as our accountant and are very happy with the service and additional advice that was given; so much so that we will be moving more business his way.

We all need more from our service providers with the additional stresses we feel, therefore I highly recommend Colum to all of my contacts."

 

Service Alliance Ltd

"Colum and Guardian Management Accounting are my accountants since I started in September 2003. Much has changed with my business during these years, with Colum and Guardian with me all the way. The company focus is largely in the IT contracting sector with my wife contracting as Project/Program Manager and I contracting as an IT Architect.

Throughout these years Guardian have flexed their service to me and billed accordingly. In my current role the advice they have given me on how to maximise my net income from my limited fees has been invaluable. Colum in particular, having many years personal experience in the IT sector in Ireland with Sharptext, Abacus and Hibernia Services, understands what I as a contractor need and delivers a structured efficient package that takes the minimum of time from me. But Guardian is not only Colum. Colum has built up a great team around him.

Most of the service to me is delivered remotely and Li especially keeps my on my toes on a regular basis.

I am delighted with the personal service I receive and most importantly in these times at a reasonable cost.

I have no hesitation in singing Colum's or indeed Guardian Management Accounting's praise. To this end I have referred two IT contracting colleagues who are equally happy with Colum and Guardian.

 

Newsrail Ltd.

"We operate a chain of 10 stores spread throughout the country. Early this year, we retained Guardian Management Accounting to implement a system to provide the directors with bi-monthly management accounts. We had installed Exchequer Accounts package over the previous 18 months and while the system was functioning and providing us with the basic information required, we were not utilising it to its maximum potential to provide us with real up to date management information. Over a period of 3 months, the team at Guardian became part of our accounts team, and brought the entire system up to date that now facilitates us in analysing our business by unit, and identifying what is performing and what is not. As a result of this work, a number of areas were identified where we needed to change, and this has lead to an immediate improvement in our bottom line.

I would like to thank Colum, Lei and Avril for all of their help in achieving this, and look forward to continuing to use their services over the coming years."

 

D+P Multimedia Products Ltd

"I have nothing but positive things to say about Colum Whelan and his staff at Guardian M.A.

Colum and his crew have been looking after our bookkeeping and accountancy needs for the past 3 years.

Our business has changed dramatically over that time and Colum has been there every step of the way with solid advice and help. He provides an efficient and professional service at a price that represents good value for money – very important for us now more than ever.

I have no hesitation in recommending Guardian MA and would be delighted to confirm or expand on any of the above by phone if needed."

 

The Bottom Line

"My friend & fellow Management Accountant ( for over two decades), Colum Whelan established Guardian Management Accounting in 1995, to address the financial & accounting requirements of a wide spectrum of Companies & other Business entities. The essence of Guardian's services is that they provide a high-quality, outsourced accounting service, at an affordable price.

Within the Guardian Management Accounting staff alone, there is in excess of 60 years accounting experience, spanning many spheres of business. Colum & Guardian have forged links with other specialist accountants and because of the relationships they have cultivated, they are equipped with the skills to take on a wide variety of undertakings for their existing & prospective clients."

 

Digitize New Media Ltd

"Guardian Management Accounting formed our Limited Company for us in April 2008, and since then have been our de facto Accounts Department. They have also been instrumental in managing our swift growth in the 3 years since inception. Evelyn Whelehan, as Guardians person on the ground, spends a day a week in our offices when all weekly financial functions are carried out. The rest of the week she is available if issues arise, plus we have our own access to Sage to facilitate orders or invoicing. In addition Evelyn's Digitize emails are forwarded to her in Guardian so she can react to any important queries in real-time.

We have found the outsourced service to be very cost efficient, but also give us access to experienced professionals at a price that we could not afford on a full time basis. This is most important when we need expertise at a higher level, in which case we then refer to Colum Whelan who also acts as a non-executive director for the company.

Overall, we are extremely happy with our relationship with Guardian Management Accounting, and would recommend any SME to speak to them about a tailored Financial function such as ours."
