Nicola at Precious Time Business Services is excellent and a must have addition to any business. Since partnering with Nicola to provide business services such as bookkeeping and accounting services, I am free to work on the business's technical aspects and deliver value to my customers. Nicola removes the monthly hassle of invoicing, cost management, and payroll. Each month, I receive detailed reports from Nicola as to the current financial state of the business. When monies are owed, or there are any discrepancies, Nicola tackles them with a can-do attitude and is solutions focused. Therefore, I have also engaged Nicola to partner with Melius Consulting in supporting my clients in activities as DiSC profiling. The use of DiSC has been an invaluable tool in developing teams, reducing conflict, and fostering collaboration with safety-critical teams. I highly recommend Nicola at Precious Time Business Services. Nicola has integrity, is honest, loyal, all while providing excellence in all her work.

Nicola’s business coaching approach is down to earth and very much client-led. In the course of our coaching sessions we addressed an issue that was consuming too much time and energy. Talking through the problem, combined with a few insightful questions and observations from Nicola, allowed me to come to my own conclusion and make my own decision. Ultimately, that decision led to actions that resolved the problem. The coaching sessions are a very different experience to my expectations. Rather than having someone dictate a plan or give suggestions, the sessions were structured in a way to allow me to sharpen and clarify my own thought process. I would highly recommend Precious Time Business Services and especially the business coaching sessions.

Starting my own business was a daunting affair to say the least. I started out dreaming small and over time realised that if I was going to provide people with a professional service then I had to engage professionals to help me look after the business. I simply did not have the skills and expertise to do it all myself... With Nicola’s patience and guidance I came to understand that there was more to balancing books than meets the eye. Soon my home made spreadsheet was a thing of the past and with Nicola’s assistance we streamlined my accounting and invoicing using a software program. Suddenly there was no guess work. Invoicing clients and managing my accounts was an automated affair meaning I had more time to spend on the business itself. Each month Nicola ensures that that accounts balance and when tax time comes around there is little I have to do. Nicola’s knowledge and experience makes managing business accounts a stress-free task and I can not recommend her highly enough.
