Starting a Business?
"Bentleys were accountants to my business for 68 years up until I retired at the age of 85 years old in September 2008. The firm also looked after my father’s business affairs for ten years before mine; in fact, he joined them when they were first established in 1930.
I am a born and bred Boltonian but moved to Prestwich in Manchester in 1950 and throughout my long career as an agent for a number of furniture manufacturers Bentleys always provided me with a very efficient service. I have a great affection for the firm."
Mr Bernard Rothstein.
"Awesome Walls was established 12 years ago with our first indoor climbing centre in Liverpool. Since we changed accountants to Bentleys about three years ago we have noticed a significant difference in the service we receive. We have regular meetings with a partner and find that Bentleys are able to explain our finances more clearly to us. When we began to consider the possibility of opening a second centre in Stockport, Bentleys made a very valuable contribution. Their thorough understanding of our business helped us to plan our expansion and gave us the confidence we needed to go ahead."
Dave Douglas, Awesome Walls Climbing Centre Ltd.

"I have been in business for over 35 years with Bentleys as my accountants throughout. They continue to attend to all my business needs with enthusiasm and professionalism. We utilise a range of their services to maintain the financial health of the company. From annual accounts preparation through to installation and advice on the latest Sage software, Bentleys are always ready and able to help."

" At our first meeting, Bentleys were making astute suggestions that showed they instinctively understood our charity which has to be run in a business-like manner. Looking back it was a turning point. Their service level is outstanding which allows me to focus on running the business."
