Why I Started Haupa Associates
Hello. My name is Farouk Bizima. I am an Accountant (AAT qualified and licensed).
I founded Haupa Associates Ltd in 2013 after taking redundancy from a corporate company when relocation trial did not work. My experience in the corporate world (albeit at junior levels) opened my eyes to highly efficient management accounts processes at work.
I realised the small business world (especially micro entities) needed the same, as business is challenging in all economic environments. The sharpness and dedication of their month-end close reporting and performance analysis (mainly budget and forecast variance analysis) was clearly something small businesses had little exposure to.
Yes, this analysis means additional cost, but the benefits and value-added more than covers the cost. The business world has hardly recovered from COVID-19 and yet other 'financial pandemics' of cost of living for customers and rising materials/stock prices for business are upon us.
These circumstances call for that corporate like sharp focus on planning, control and intelligent forecasting to have a better chance of surviving and thriving in this hyper-unpredictable economic and political environment we live in (not many economic commentators would have predicted the Bank of England increasing base interest rates as many times as it has done in such a short period of time).
AAT gave me sufficient management accounting training but I decided to add on CIMA studies to power up my knowledge and technical expertise even more.
This pool of knowledge and technical know-how is what I and my associates offer small companies.
Our mission is to enable small businesses, to survive and thrive by quickly taking care of their statutory reporting compliance, then focus on adding real value with management accounting to enable them achieve their goals and objectives. In so doing we also survive and thrive.
Farouk Bizima. MAAT.
