The Story of Hewitt&Carr Architects

Hewitt&Carr Architects aren’t your stereotypical architects, they’re modern, fun, and always ready for a challenge.

They have a wide experience of residential projects – from small domestic extensions and one-off houses to large refurbishment and internal alterations projects. They specialise in all residential areas – delivering high quality service and expertise that meets the demands of the discerning homeowner and developer.

Was it a challenge or opportunity Hewitt&Carr faced at the beginning?

When Hewitt&Carr Architects first started their journey, they were advised to seek out a reliable accountant to simply take the pressure off.

Having used a separate accountancy firm prior to us, they realised that there was something missing and there were so many more opportunities they could benefit from with this service. That’s where we came in…

Hewitt&Carr set up their business with a view to being different from the stereotypical architectural practice and this was music to our ears. We recognise that the one size fits all approach to accountancy doesn’t reflect the originality of each business that comes to work with us, and our ultimate mission was to mould our services to suit them. Monthly payments and an efficient way of working were key to helping Hewitt&Carr succeed. We instantly recognised this and tailored our services to ensure each process was easy to follow and any profit growth opportunities were highlighted and actioned with a jargon-free approach.

What were Hewitt&Carr’s pain points before using Premier Tax Solutions and how have we solved them?

When Hewitt&Carr came to us, their biggest pain point and one many others can relate to was time.

They found themselves using multiple people to achieve the same goal when they first set up their business, this then resulted in communication issues and valuable time lost.

We registered this pain point Hewitt&Carr were facing and eliminated anything that we believed was holding them back when it came to managing their time more efficiently. One being their previous choice of software and transitioning them to our accountancy hero, Xero!

Natalie from Hewitt&Carr says that introducing Xero into her everyday accountancy practices has ‘revolutionised everything’ and ‘changed their world.’ Not only did it help them onboard new staff, but it freed up valuable time and allowed them to focus on what they do best.
