Tim Gilpin leads our remote service opportunities from our new Midlands office
We are delighted and very excited to be offering our outsource golf club accounting services to clubs more than two hours away from our North Hampshire base.
Although we have a small number of clubs that are run virtually remotely, our normal service is to provide two or three visits to the club each month. It is totally possible, as we have proved, to run our total golf accounts service remotely, especially with the practically and ease in using video calls such as Teams and Zoom, however it cements the relationship with you and your club if there is also a face to face relationship.
Our help to you and your golf club is definitely enhanced if we are able to have regular onsite meetings.
After an extensive search we are very fortunate to have found ourselves the perfect candidate to spearhead the building, development and account management so that we can help clubs in the Midlands and North.
We have a dedicated team of four Finance Managers based in our head office in Hartley Wintney, North Hampshire. That team is headed by a Senior Finance Manager responsible for the delivery of our outsource service to all of the clubs that Tim looks after. The office team also have the support of our existing Purchase Ledger and Payroll office teams.
That enables Accountancy Matters to deliver the service, support and quality finance management as described throughout the main website.
We look forward to working with many new clubs and friends.
Tim Gilpin
Heads up our new Midlands office
Tim Gilpin has over 25 years of experience in golf, leisure, and hospitality across multiple disciplines. His journey began as a P.G.A professional at member clubs such as Tenby (South Wales) and La Moye (Channel Islands).
Over the next decade, he held senior management positions, overseeing club operations at leisure, golf, and hotel properties including, De Vere, Mottram Hall, and Beau Desert Golf Club.
Throughout his career, Tim has driven financial improvements for each club, maximising opportunities to invest in continuous improvement. He focuses on enhancing the club’s ability to fund capital projects, improve service delivery, and enhance brand appeal within its market.
Tims philosophy centres around constant improvement. As James Kerr aptly puts it in “Legacy,” “the challenge is always to improve, always move forward, even when you are the best.” Tim applies this mindset to support clubs, boards, and committees in achieving their strategic goals whilst fostering a collaborative one team approach.
How does it work?
Initial Enquiry
Tim would handle initial meetings and giving understanding of the service options available and indicative costs.
Scoping
In conjunction with Head Office we would work together to investigate your existing system, technology, personnel and processes.
Pricing & Solution
We can be highly bespoke in the best solution for you. We have some clubs where the existing resource is kept in place and we offer best practice, our IP and specialist skills to enhance your accounts management through to a 100% total outsource. We can agree what you feel is best for your club and fix a set up and monthly charge going forward.
Delivery
In most instances we would need a lead time of 2-3 weeks in order to start. This would be linked to finding the best and most appropriate timescales for you to migrate. Our Senior Finance Manager would work on site for a number of days to effect the migration and ensure that the migration to our platforms is all sound and working effectively. Then the office team would kick in and take over your management with Tim being your day to day contact from an Account Management perspective.
