Client Stories

Caring Connections has been working with Adding Value for over three years now, and the difference they’ve made has been incredible. When we first came to them, we were really struggling to find an accountancy organisation that understood not just our finances, but also who we are and the sector we work in. As a social care charity with lots of contracts across the North West, things can get very complex with different financial procedures and requirements for each authority. From day one, the team at Adding Value have worked tirelessly alongside us. They’ve been patient, resilient, and always committed, even when the pressure from our side has been high. They’ve taken the time to really get to know us and how we work, and that has made all the difference. In the time we’ve worked together, our charity has grown from a £1 million turnover to a forecasted £6 million this year, and our staff team has grown from 60 to nearly 250. Through it all, Adding Value have been there, managing our back-office finance processes and our complicated payroll cycles, keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. It hasn’t always been easy, but they’ve stuck with us, and it’s worked. I honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough — they’ve been a true partner in our journey.

SWACA have worked with Adding Value since 2022 and received very high quality, efficient and effective support over the past 3 years. The staff are very friendly, responsive, knowledgeable/skilled, thorough and well-informed, and have collectively significantly strengthened SWACA’s financial management and business approaches, proving very good value for money. I would highly recommend Adding Value.
