Stepping into self-employment is exciting, but it’s also a bit of a whirlwind. When Tim Voller launched Voller Surveying Services Ltd, he was ready to throw himself into the surveying work he loves. The only hurdle was that the financial side of running a limited company felt like a completely different language.
Tim admits it himself: “I had no experience of being self-employed as a limited company. The complexities around self-assessment, taxation, dividends, invoicing, GDPR, and just generally running the financial side were a huge challenge.”
And Tim isn’t alone. Many new business owners quickly discover that doing the work is the easy part; it’s everything behind the scenes that becomes the headache. Tim wanted to spend his time surveying, quoting, and supporting clients – not juggling admin, deadlines, and tax terms.
Finding the Right Support
That all began to change when he found Jennison Accounting.
“Claire and her team handle all the accounting side of my business,” Tim explains. “Claire, Ruth and Danny are always friendly, professional, and offer helpful advice or remind me when I need to do something!”
From managing his accounts to offering ongoing guidance, the team took the pressure off. Their proactive support has meant Tim can stay organised without constantly worrying whether something important has slipped through the cracks.
A Team That Truly Cares
For Tim, one thing stood out more than anything else: the personal touch.
“They’re always approachable. They take the time to reply to all my many questions and respond promptly in a way that makes sense. I feel they genuinely care about my business and its success.”
That genuine care and clear communication have given Tim the reassurance that his finances are in safe hands.
Seeing the Impact
Two years on, Tim can see the results every single day in his business:
-
More confidence in his finances
-
More time to focus on surveying and looking after his clients
-
Better clarity around cash flow and time management
-
Less stress, more headspace
Pay It Forward
Tim first came to Jennison Accounting because a friend recommended them, and now he’s more than happy to pass that recommendation on.
“I would highly recommend working with Jennison Accounting. They’ve been so valuable in helping my business over the last two years. I have confidence in their ability, which allows me to focus on the areas where I’m skilled to do so.”
