Your business is our business...

We are a full-service accountancy firm working with people, not numbers. Combining compliance, day-to-day support and business strategy to help you flourish inside and outside of your business.

Your business is more than just numbers on a balance sheet. It’s your livelihood, your passion and, crucially, an important part of the future you want to build. We look at all these aspects and work alongside you to deliver the time and mind freedoms necessary to accomplish that vision.

As business owners ourselves, we understand many of the challenges and obstacles you face, especially when it comes to things like finances and tax. Most importantly, we have the knowledge and expertise to help with the more exciting and progressive areas too.

We don’t really like to use the term ‘outsourced finance department’, instead we like to think of ourselves as an extended part of your team. It’s certainly not an uncommon approach, but we truly believe ours is better, integrating our services in ways that provide practical benefits and real long term value.

Whatever your ambitions, both inside and outside of your business, we want to be there to give the right support, insight and advice you need. Together we can secure the future you always envisaged.

Can’t recommend this fella enough, we are a small business but still Simon is there for us no matter how daft our question is. He takes time to explain things and makes us feel st ease. A great addition to any business We are proud to have him looking after our accounts I think we are on year 4 now. Cheers Simon Keep up the good work

The human face of accountancy, that’s how I’d describe Simon. If you’re looking for an accountant who has the time to treat you like an individual, not a number, I can highly recommend working with him. He has helped me get to grips with elements of handling my accounts that I didn’t know existed making things streamlined and user friendly. His approach is friendly and he is very generous with his accountancy knowledge

 – Sarah, Sarah Gatford Ltd

If you want an approachable Accountant who really gets to know you and your business and knows his stuff then Simon is the go to person. Simon is our Accountant for a not for profit networking group, and I find Simon very pro-active in providing advice that can be acted on (as opposed to finding something out after its been implemented!). He is a great guy and gives him time freely to support other businesses with their growth.

I highly recommend Simon if you need expert, honest, up-to-date accountancy advice, delivered in a timely way by someone who wants to understand your business.
