Struan Baptie, Managing Director at Struan Baptie Property Management, describes how MMG has been a crucial partner for over ten years, offering expertise and patient guidance through financial challenges and daily operations.
The Problem
“I was introduced to MMG Chartered Accountants ten years ago by my bank manager. I had so many questions about my finances that my bank manager recognised my need for a local (and patient!) firm that I could call upon to guide me.”
Struan faced numerous financial questions and challenges common to small business owners. With the complex demands of running a business, from finance management to HR advisory, Struan found it difficult to fulfil these roles alone with complete confidence. Hence turning to MMG to help him work more efficiently.
The Solution
Over the past decade, MMG has provided comprehensive support to Struan Baptie Property Management. Our team has been readily available to answer Struan’s questions and offer assistance in all aspects of his business, from monthly payroll services to strategic business advice.
“An important part of our journey has been exploring emerging technologies to make my life easier. Ten years ago, I could never have imagined that I could take a photo of a receipt on my phone that would automatically extract the relevant tax information, sync with my bank, and populate my annual returns. The only thing it doesn’t do is bake a cake to go with the coffee I’ve just bought!”
Our commitment to integrating efficient applications has transformed his day-to-day operations, allowing him to experiment with forecasting tools and make strategic decisions based on real-time data.
Our proactive and dynamic approach extends to the entire team. As MMG has grown and evolved, Struan now benefits from the expertise of several key team members across the firm. This collaborative support network ensures that Struan receives timely and effective advice tailored to his specific challenges.
“I particularly appreciate Ryan’s support, who is always ready to take my call to understand my challenge and provide timely advice.”
The Outcome
MMG Chartered Accountants has become an integral partner for Struan Baptie Property Management. By surrounding Struan with a knowledgeable and supportive team, we have instilled confidence in the management of his business affairs. Beyond handling day-to-day compliance tasks, we have provided consistent support through the various twists and turns that life and business present. Our commitment to walking alongside Struan every step of the way has given him peace of mind and trust in our ongoing partnership.
