TWP’s supports Elgin Energy with audit insights

Elgin Energy is a fast-growing multinational company that develops and operates solar energy sites.

Initially focused on developing solar sites from Greenfield to the build-ready stage, Elgin Energy has evolved into an Independent Power Producer (IPP), with plans to build and operate its own solar sites.

With offices in Dublin, London and locations across Germany and Italy, Elgin Energy’s international presence is expanding as it continues to innovate within the renewable energy sector.

This leading energy company has partnered with accountants and auditors TWP for more than a decade and values the firm’s deep understanding of their business and the continuity of service provided by their dedicated team.

Why does Elgin Energy work with TWP?

The relationship between Elgin Energy and TWP dates back to when the company was smaller in scale, but Elgin Energy has continued to grow with the support of TWP’s services.

Barry Rehill, a Director at Elgin Energy, explains, “TWP knows our business exceptionally well. They provide continuity of service, which has been crucial as we’ve scaled up.

“Unlike other firms where there’s often a lot of staff turnover, we’ve always worked with the same team, which helps build a stronger working relationship.”

Megan Byrne, who works closely with TWP, highlights the firm’s proactive approach to deadlines.

She said: “TWP is very good at keeping us on track and communicating clearly. If anything might delay the timeline, they always let us know early, which is really appreciated.”

Delivering efficiency and communication

Elgin Energy operates in a fast-paced environment where meeting tight deadlines is critical to its success.

TWP’s audit process is designed with this in mind. Megan said: “TWP has always been very strong at outlining the audit plan clearly. We always know exactly what will be worked on and when, which allows us to allocate resources efficiently.”

Beyond just managing the audit process, TWP ensures the company’s internal teams are prepared for every stage. Barry adds: “TWP has been with us through many transitions, including our move to a fully-fledged ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. Their ability to adapt and offer continuous support has been incredibly valuable.”

A personal approach to auditing and advisory services

One of the standout features of TWP’s service is the personal touch they bring to the relationship.

Megan explains: “Our key audit contact has been with us since I joined the company and the relationship we’ve built with her has been invaluable. She’s always available for a quick call and we get a lot of work done during our in-person meetings.”

Barry adds: “The TWP team recently flew over to Dublin to meet us face-to-face. In today’s world of remote work, this in-person connection is a real differentiator for TWP.”

The added value beyond compliance

While the primary value of the audit is, of course, ensuring compliance, Elgin Energy has benefited from the broader advisory support provided by TWP.

Barry said: “TWP has given us excellent technical advice outside of the audit process, especially on entities they don’t audit. They’ve helped us navigate challenges and always provide well-supported, actionable advice.”

Megan agrees, saying: “TWP is always proactive in keeping us updated on upcoming accounting standard changes, which has been crucial for us to stay ahead of the curve.”

Why Elgin Energy recommends TWP

Both Barry and Megan agree that the level of service provided by TWP goes beyond the standard audit.

Barry sums it up: “TWP is responsive, approachable and committed to understanding our business in detail. It’s that personal touch and the continuity of service that sets them apart from other firms.”

Megan adds: “They are always approachable and I’d definitely recommend them to other businesses in our position.

“TWP takes the time to understand the business and that’s a key factor in why we continue to work with them.”

Long-term partnership

Elgin Energy’s relationship with TWP is one built on trust, continuity and a shared commitment to business growth.

Barry concludes: “Having TWP as a long-term partner has been invaluable. They know us well and we trust them to always provide the best service.”

Elgin Energy’s continued partnership with TWP exemplifies the firm’s ability to support businesses at every stage of growth, from development to operations, ensuring compliance while offering strategic advice and fostering a personal, long-term relationship.
