Beckland Develop Long Standing Partnership with Gascoynes

When Brian Buckingham founded Beckland back in 2020, he already knew the accountant he wanted to support his business. Brian’s wife owned a bridal studio and had already been using Gascoynes for a number of years. It was therefore the obvious choice to instruct them for his new business venture.

Beckland are a strategic land consultancy based just outside of Cambridge but supporting clients across the whole of the UK. They deliver expert guidance to landowners to complete transactions with UK housebuilders for residential developments. From small regional developers through to volume housebuilders the size of sites can be large enough to build 3,500 new homes.

Beckland Develop Long Standing Partnership with Gascoynes

Beckland is a small team of four with Julie Collins working on all the team’s support functions and processes. From compliance to HR to accounting, Julie’s role is truly diverse and with the business continuing to flourish – partnering with a trusted accountant is an absolute necessity.

“We are a small team, and we need the surveying arm of the business to always be focused on our clients and the market,” said Brian. “One of the things I value most with Gascoynes is their ability to embrace technology to help make our lives easier.”

Julie is a huge advocate for QuickBooks as their finance platform and says this “helps her enormously” as it means there is an efficient system within Beckland which just make things work easily allowing her to focus on all other aspects of the business.

As Beckland’s accountancy partner for over five years, an excellent working relationship is now in place. Gascoynes help ensure invoices are paid automatically, notifications are set up when payments come from the bank account and any queries on payroll are sorted quickly and efficiently. They are also on hand to support Brian with shareholding advice and other technical and complex taxation questions.

“We find Gascoynes an absolute pleasure to deal with,” said Julie. “The way we work with them is seamless and whatever our question they are always there for us. We find them excellent communicators which just makes things so easy for us.”
