Our Case Studies

Cedars-Sinai is one of the most recognised names in global healthcare. Founded in Los Angeles in the early 1900s, the Cedars-Sinai Health System has grown to employ over 20,000 people across multiple hospitals and international partnerships spanning the GCC, South America, Singapore, and beyond.

Cedars-Sinai UK represents a significant milestone, the first solely owned Cedars-Sinai facility outside of Los Angeles. Operating as a not-for-profit private medical centre, the UK business launched in early 2025, initially from a temporary clinic in London before opening its flagship premises on Cavendish Street. With a partnership already in place with Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Trust, and ambitions to expand further into Europe and the Middle East, the UK operation is built for serious growth.

For Chris and Lucy Gray, that complexity had grown naturally over time. Alongside building The Guildford Vet, they had developed a portfolio of property businesses and partnerships, each with its own reporting requirements, deadlines and financial demands. As the group expanded, so did the challenge of managing everything in a joined-up way.

That's where Surrey Hills Accountancy came in.

Bigfoot Creative Limited is a fast-growing UK creative business, delivering large-scale creative production, branding and installation projects for major organisations including Sky and the Premier League.

As the business has continued to expand, its leadership team found that year-end accounts alone were no longer enough to support the pace and complexity of their growth. What they needed was real-time financial visibility, more robust forecasting capabilities and a finance partner with the commercial understanding to support them through sustained, ongoing growth. Enter Surrey Hills Accountancy and its accountancy solutions.

Howett Thorpe is a specialist recruitment firm focused on financial recruitment and business support. With a strong client base spanning Hampshire and Surrey, and reach extending much further afield for senior appointments. Their clients include blue-chip corporations, owner-managed businesses, public practice firms and public sector organisations.

As the business grew and its ambitions expanded, the Howett Thorpe management team began to realise that their existing accountancy set-up wasn't keeping pace. They needed something different, and they needed it fast.
