A Note From the Managing Partner - Murray Presley

-
Hello,
Here at Presley & Partners, the entire team is committed to helping you grow and preserve your wealth. In fact, that’s been our underlying focus since this practice was first formed in January 1982.
At that time, we identified a need for accounting services in the region and we set about creating a practice that could successfully support clients’ taxation, taxation planning, audit, accounting, audit and more.
Since then the practice has successfully helped hundreds of clients, all with similar needs to your own and many facing challenges that might also be similar to your own. And the team has grown from just eight to fifteen.
We’ve come a long way …
Other changes have taken place too. Some time ago we became aware of a number of business clients who were grappling with so many different issues that we wanted to help. We wanted to be able to say "here's how to generate that extra $50,000 in sales you need" rather than just talk about the historical financial results.
So much so that we set about changing our firm, improving it for the better and turning it into something really special for you. To do that, we worked hard to fully educate ourselves on all sorts of issues - business development, growth, strategy, human resources, marketing, sales, management, operations, systems, customer service, performance standards, business health checks and more - as it applies to businesses like yours.
We attended courses, studied, invested in new resources, tools and software to be able to help you grow your business, rather than just track your results at year end. Of course we’ve maintained our core competencies and in fact, took them a step further by maintaining ongoing professional education.
Staying focused on the road ahead.
Now you can benefit from more - more support, more advice, more services and more results. Where accounting has often been about tracking historical results, accounting at Presley & Partners has shifted to doing much more than that. Here, we're focused on mapping out the future for your business or your personal taxation needs with you - keeping our eyes firmly on the road ahead and on helping you achieve the results you're looking for.

Call (250) 338-1394 now to make an appointment for a free consultation and needs analysis to discover the difference for yourself.
Sincerely,
Murray Presley

As a leader in the provision of business advisory services to the local small-to-medium sized business market we enjoy close relationships with our clients who see our role as integral to their business success. We're doing far more for our clients than historical figures or "bean counting." In fact, we focus on helping our clients with the growth and development of their business through applying new skill sets. We use exciting software tools and new resources to help our clients create history rather than just report on it.

We will provide you with access to the latest products, services, information and career development opportunities to ensure you can continue to grow professionally and add value to your clients.

The Power of a Global Network

-
We consider that working with you is indeed a privilege. That's precisely why our mission is to be the type of accountants that continually do more—more for you and your business. To do that we have become members of the largest independent network of accounting firms in the world—the RAN ONE network.
Today we are in a global marketplace— one in which alliances add significant strength to individual firms. As a RAN ONE firm, we are members of a large, worldwide network and have access to extensive resources (products, systems, branding, training and knowledge sharing) that allow us to enjoy the same level of support as a large firm but can act as a highly focused, independent, client service organization in our local market.
Every member of the RAN ONE network is a qualified accounting firm in public practice who has invested time and effort and finances to gain specialty training to be able to offer you more than the standard compliance services. The business development training we've undergone has covered topics not taught in standard accounting degrees or discussed in most practices. Topics like marketing strategies, customer services and administrative systems, key performance indicators, people development, state-of-the-art software, and much more. This gives us the ability to provide holistic solutions for all parts of your business. We don't look at your business just from a historical perspective. Presley & Partners actively works with you to develop your business and improve it as it happens. We do that through a variety of processes including a personalized business development program, where we work hand-in-hand with you to focus on the different aspects of your business to increase your profits and improve your lifestyle.
To be a qualified RAN ONE Accountant, we are required to meet an annual compliance test to ensure the level of quality across the network (i.e. provide assurance on a required level of professional liability insurance, have attended a minimum level of face-to-face RAN ONE training, satisfy standards on the use of the products and engage in continual learning). So no matter what part of the world you’re doing business, you can be assured the RAN ONE Accountant in your area has met high benchmarks for competency and service.
All of these efforts are designed to help you grow your business, increase your take-home profits, improve the processes within your business to make it that much stronger and ultimately increase the value of your greatest asset.
Visit www.ranone.com for more information on why our membership in the network is important and what our being members of the RAN ONE Network means to you.
