BROOMFIELD and ALEXANDER AMONG THE FIRST NEWLY ACCREDITED SAGE SOLUTION CENTRES IN THE UK

Independent professional advisory firm, Broomfield & Alexander is celebrating after being accredited by Sage (UK) Ltd as one of the first Sage accredited Solution Centres in the region.

In order to become an accredited Sage Solution Centre, staff must pass a number of Sage examinations to validate their commercial and technical product knowledge. They also receive professional training in order to deliver high levels of customer service, support and advice. The accreditation means that customers can be confident that they are dealing with experts in the field of Sage software and that Sage Solution Centres are able to support businesses by providing a range of related services.

Anne Hawkins, eBusiness department manager at Broomfield & Alexander, said: “I am delighted that Broomfield & Alexander has been recognised in this way. We work very closely with Sage to ensure that our staff are always up to date with its latest products and developments and that our clients are benefiting from this.”

The Broomfield & Alexander eBusiness team offers a range of training courses on Sage and other accounting packages, as well as bespoke training on tax, VAT and business planning. Training can be tailored to individual client needs and either carried out at their premises or in Broomfield & Alexander’s dedicated eBusiness training suite, which is ideal for small groups and has state of the art IT equipment and AV facilities.

One client who has benefited from the team’s expertise is Mercury Panels, a Merthyr Tydfil based manufacturing company. Lesley Morgan, director of Mercury Panels said: “We met with Broomfield & Alexander’s eBusiness team and were delighted with the results, they helped us assess our accounting needs and also ensured that the Sage products we purchased could integrate fully with our existing systems and software. We currently use Sage Line 50, which has helped my team enormously - we now have accurate management information at our fingertips. The Broomfield & Alexander team constantly support us with extensive on-site training and regular system advice.”

As one of the largest independent professional advisory firms in Wales with more than 80 employees working from offices across South East Wales, Broomfield & Alexander has offered clients a range of business and financial planning advice since 1912.
