Kerry Butchart is a Business Advisory Manager. Based in our Glasgow office. Kerry assists with overseeing, managing, and supporting the team, whilst continuing to build and maintain lasting relationships with her clients. Her day-to-day role involves assisting with allocation of work between staff, ensuring everyone is kept busy and utilised. Kerry is also involved in in helping map out and set-up internal processes within the department, whilst remaining committed to her portfolio of clients that she looks after which includes various recurring compliance work and one-off pieces of work as required.
“The greatest feedback I received from a client was that they trusted my judgement. Clients expect honesty and dedication to help their business grow to its full potential. In order to set strong foundations for trusting client relationships, I commit time and effort to understanding their needs, ensuring they feel supported and confident that I have considered all situational factors in my advice.”
“Technology offers numerous benefits, particularly in terms of data input and operational efficiencies, which help us save time. However, when it comes to advising on these efficiencies, the core focus remains our investment in understanding our clients’ needs and putting the correct systems in place to meet these. Our roles are pivotal in implementing technology effectively and fostering meaningful human-to-human interactions. The ability to meet with clients online provides a valuable alternative to face-to-face interactions, offering a more personal touch than traditional phone calls or emails.”
“In our sector, time is often our most significant challenge. To overcome this, maintaining focus and organisational prowess is paramount. Efficient planning and management of these deadlines are essential to avoid resorting to a reactive ‘firefighting’ approach. As part of the AAB Group, we synergise our resources and expert knowledge to ensure we cover all bases and deliver an optimal service to our clients.”
“I firmly believe in the principle that ‘Nothing is more important than our people.’ Our team members are the primary driving force behind our business, and to maintain momentum, it’s crucial to prioritise their happiness and well-being.
We meet with clients in a way that suits them, whether that is online or in-person. This not only elevates our service delivery but allows team members to tailor their day to meet any work-life demands, facilitating remote work when needed. Offering flexibility and empowering our teams with the tools to achieve a harmonious work-life balance is fundamental in upholding this core value.”
“Observing the growth of our clients’ businesses and witnessing the progression of our team members in their careers brings me great satisfaction. I take pride in my ability to tackle challenges effectively and provide balanced solutions to help them achieve their goals. Whether it’s devising innovative strategies to overcome obstacles or offering insightful guidance to navigate complex scenarios, I am committed to fostering success and advancement for both our clients and our team.”
