The doctor, the priest and a friend
There’s a story from The West Wing that we love here at Mountain Top.
This guy’s walking down the street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep he can’t get out. A doctor passes by and the guy shouts up, ‘Hey you. Can you help me out?’ The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on.
Then a priest comes along and the guy shouts up, ‘Father, I’m down in this hole can you help me out?’ The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on.
Then a friend walks by, ‘Hey, Joe, it’s me can you help me out?’ And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, ‘Are you stupid? Now we’re both down here.’ The friend says, ‘Yeah, but I’ve been down here before and I know the way out.

Now, you might be thinking, what’s this got to do with an accounting firm and why is it the basis of their latest blog post. Well, in simple terms, here at Mountain Top, we’re the equivalent of that friend. We know the way out of any difficult financial situation, and we’ve been partnering hundreds of clients since we launched back in 2021.
It’s about integrity
If we were to have a conversation about our business values, above anything else we’d talk about integrity, or ‘doing the right thing’, but fairly close behind that is our desire to help our clients achieve whatever goals they have in mind.
Now, occasionally that’s about getting people out of holes, but more often than not, it’s about helping clients take their turnover from £500,000 to £4m, all while sustaining a healthy profit … after all why else would you do it.
The pressures of growth
Although growth is invariably a good thing, it’s not without its pressures and many of those pressures are financial. What we do at Mountain Top is support businesses through that transition phrase and beyond. The smart money is always on finding financially savvy people that are there to help guide and to a certain extent, control the money side of things, preparing for a brighter future that often sees key people step back and enjoy the fruits of their labour. That’s what we do at Mountain Top, and we do it very well.
Our established team of experienced and qualified individuals offer a pro-active service that is entirely focused on what you, the client needs. Above anything else, Mountain Top deliver peace of mind, tax savings and an unrivalled level of reassurance.
