A Manchester-based business finance brokerage has launched an innovative programme designed to help accountancy firms offer independent, whole-of-market funding advice to their clients. Elite Money’s new Accountancy Partnership Programme aims to support accountants in providing tailored funding solutions, strengthening their relationships with clients and generating additional revenue streams.
The programme is spearheaded by Elite Money’s Commercial Director, Jack Christian, who brings years of experience in the industry. Jack, who previously spent seven years working at a top accountancy firm, was instrumental in creating and growing the firm’s business finance brokering division. During his tenure, he grew the division from a small team to 20 staff, driving revenue from £250,000 to £3.5 million in just a few years by securing funding for clients and businesses across various sectors.
Since launching the Accountancy Partnership Programme, Elite Money has successfully onboarded eight accountancy firms and is set to expand its reach even further, with plans to double the number of partners in the first quarter of 2024.
Jack Christian said, “We’re excited to launch this partnership programme, which we believe will enhance the value that accountancy firms offer to their clients. It will not only generate additional revenue but also strengthen client relationships, which are crucial in today’s competitive market.”
He added, “In the world of accountancy, numbers matter, but relationships are priceless. This programme is about focusing on clients’ needs and building long-term, mutually beneficial connections.”
The Accountancy Partnership Programme allows firms to offer clients bespoke funding solutions. Once an accountant completes a simple application and submits the necessary documents, clients receive a market review with the best funding options available to them. Typically, funds are delivered to clients within 24 hours, streamlining the process and providing a fast and reliable service.
The programme is part of Elite Money’s broader vision to build a network of accountants who can offer additional value-added services to clients. With over 40 years of combined experience in the finance industry, Elite Money already boasts a growing number of partners across various sectors. The firm is now looking to expand its network of partners and help more accountancy firms unlock new revenue opportunities.
Jack Christian sees the future of the accountancy sector in partnerships that go beyond traditional service offerings. “We believe the future of the accountancy sector lies in forming strong partnerships built on trust, innovation, and sustainable growth. We are committed to working with our partners to foster mutual success that will create lasting impact across industries.”
Through this programme, Elite Money aims to help accountants not only diversify their services but also strengthen their competitive position in a rapidly evolving market.
