Case Study

I’ve always said that what makes Sarah different is how well she knows her clients. Some people used to tell her she got too close to them – I’ve never understood why that was supposed to be a bad thing. That’s exactly what makes her brilliant. Wynne & Co isn’t just a firm of accountants; it’s a partnership built on proper relationships – with clients, with staff, and with everyone they work alongside.

I first met Sarah in 2010, when I was building Coracle Coaches and still running a taxi fleet. She wasn’t your typical accountant. She didn’t just deal with the numbers – she made me think about where I wanted the business to go and how to get there.

Over the last 15 years, Sarah and her team have been by my side through everything – year-end accounts, VAT, payroll, tax returns, and plenty more. She’s helped me plan for growth, forecast for the future, and even guided me through a major fraud case that could’ve finished the business. When things got tough – recessions, the pandemic, you name it – she didn’t just crunch numbers; she rolled up her sleeves and found a way through.

We’ve had countless meetings (usually over breakfast – that’s when you get the best out of this accountant!). We don’t always agree, but that’s part of what makes it work. She’s honest, direct, and genuinely cares about her clients’ success.

Sarah’s handled every statutory account and every return you can think of, but what really stands out is how proactive she is. She’ll spot something coming before I do. “Ken,” she’ll say, “you’ll thank me in six months for doing this now.” And she’s always right.

When things went wrong, she didn’t just sympathise – she problem-solved. Calm, practical, and laser-focused on how to keep us moving forward. That’s what a proper accountant looks like.

Today, Coracle Coaches has grown to a fleet of over 20 vehicles, running school transport, private hire, and our expanding Holiday Gold tours. Through it all, Wynne & Co have been part of the journey – not just as accountants, but as trusted partners.
