New private healthcare deal

Private healthcare with Alexander Knight & Co

If you’re a company director of a growing business it makes sense to review your choice of private healthcare provider. In our experience, too many of our clients are paying too much for distinctly average ranges of cover.

As a result, we’ve teamed up with Vitality Healthcare – and we feel that we’re able to offer a much more competitive rate and more comprehensive cover than your current arrangements. As well as protecting you when things go wrong, it also helps you to lead a healthier life. – meaning you don’t need to make a claim to benefit. It’s the way insurance should be.

Whether it’s a fresh look for you and your family or a scheme you’d like to introduce or update for your staff, speak to us and we will arrange a competitive quote. Switching healthcare provider is easy and hassle free – so in our mind, it’s worth getting a quote so that you can reduce your expense on this increasingly important benefit.

Keeping you safe

cyber essentials logo

As part of our ongoing commitment to improving our information security management system we took the decision to gain the Cyber Essentials certification. We’re proud to be the first accountants in Greater Manchester to gain this certification and one of the first in the Northwest.

Cyber Essentials certification is aimed at helping companies guard their client data from hackers.

Keeping your data and information confidential is a top priority for our team.

In today’s climate of increasing numbers of cyber-criminals hacking into the servers of professional advisory firms we’re committed to staying one step ahead for our clients.

This certification provides you with the assurance that we are taking the necessary steps to prevent future cyber threats.

The certification recognises organisations that have taken appropriate steps to protect against most common cyber threats as a baseline for security. It was established by the UK Government in 2014.

Some of the things we do as standard practice in our business include:

●       downloading software and app updates as soon as they appear on devices and computers

●       using strong passwords

●       deleting suspicious emails

●       using anti-virus software

●       training staff

If you need to upgrade your own cyber protection for your business, talk to us and we can point you in the right direction.

A new website

Welcome to our new website.  We thought long and hard about what we wanted our website to do and say. Then, we talked to our clients to see what they wanted. We hope you like it. We’ve kept it clean and simple and improved the usability of it.

Everything from the layout, the copywriting and design elements are all intended to convey our own personality and highlight the key things that our clients need. It’s easier to find our contact details, find out more about our approach and our people.

As well as being more efficient at the back-end (which means it’s simpler and faster for us to update) it’s also built with ‘Google love’ in mind. This means it’s quicker than our previous site and should be found ore easily on the search engine results pages. It also works on multiple devices, so it works just as well on your iPhone or iPad as your PC or MacBook.

Businesses have to evolve. If you stand still your competitors will seize the advantage. Having a modern, accessible web presence is important to our practice. It means clients can more easily get what they need, prospects and professional advisors can see what we’re all about in an instant. It’s also better for our future employees as we grow our business – to give them insight into our culture and approach to work.
