PBS was formed around a simple, yet unique idea - the combination of both bookkeeping and business development into one combined service solution. Normally you would need to secure the services of a bookkeeper to control your financials, and a business consultant to assist in setting up or growing your business.
By aligning the two services PBS offers a USP not seen in either traditional bookkeepers or business consultants.
Here at PBS we understand business and we understand what matters to you, the client. That is why our services are both scalable and bespoke to your needs. You need only engage us on the exact services you require in any combination. No job is too big or too small. Browse the sections below to get further information on the many ways in which we can help you comply, evolve, stay relevant and deliver success.
We pride ourselves on being approachable, affordable, efficient, knowledgeable and honest. Above all else PBS is here to build relationships with clients – not simply to get the job done but to forge alliances built on integrity, loyalty and friendship.
