Richard Anthony: ‘a super-star firm’
MT Finance is a property finance lender, specialising in bridging loans and auction finance. They assist numerous property professionals, business owners, and individuals with their finance requirements and specialise in short-term asset-based lending.
Founder and Director, Tomer Aboody, knew that as an asset-based lender, the business would require an expert accountant to stay compliant and financially profitable.
That’s why Richard Anthony was engaged at the very beginning of MT Finance’s journey.
Tomer said: “We started the company with about £2,000 to £3,000. Now, thanks to Richard Anthony’s help, we have a staff of nearly 70 people, and turn over tens of millions of pounds a year.”
Richard Anthony’s advice to Tomer and his colleagues was invaluable in the initial growth of MT Finance.
“The first step is always to have the right people around you. Whatever you do, whether it’s setting up a company or anything else in business, you’ve got to put the right people in place. This absolutely includes your accountant,” Tomer said.
Richard Anthony provided accounting services to the business as well as advising on business strategies and tax efficiency.
For Tomer and his business partner, who started their relationship with Richard Anthony almost 20 years ago, receiving their advice was more than just a financial help.
“I think as two younger individuals looking to start a business, in an industry we didn’t really know anything about, Richard Anthony was hugely helpful.
“They’ve always taken pride in working with young entrepreneurs to ensure they grow and develop in all aspects of their lives. They even helped my family with their finances!”
Tomer thinks this is what makes Richard Anthony’s advice so exceptional.
“They just go above and beyond and that’s why there will always be a relationship between MT Finance and Richard Anthony.
“As we develop, change, and grow as a business they work with us on our new challenges.
“We love the fact that they’re growing and adapting too. They are changing how they react to the new demands that have emerged in certain industries in recent years which I think is essential to providing up-to-date and effective service to their clients.”
Tomer intends to use Richard Anthony’s services for any projects that he develops in the future.
“I’m sure, when we launch other businesses, they will always be the first firm we go to for advice.”
“I would never hold back from recommending Richard Anthony to anyone. They’re a superstar firm.”
