Chartered Accountants
helping online entrepreneurs take home more money for them and their family to enjoy.
Let's face it.
You might not find Accounting that exciting!
…because you’ve heard all the buzz phrases before – “we are your business advisors” (yeah right – like most accountants really understand online businesses…they’ve asked you what Upwork is, right?!) – or perhaps you’ve heard – “we offer proactive advice” (yet they are still confused how you are using Facebook ads to drive traffic, let alone being about to offer you advice).
But it doesn’t need to be so hard, because we are also an online business, so we get you, we understand the complexities of running an online business (with teams all over the world). And we can take all the numbers stuff off your hands so you can concentrate on your zone of genius.
OUR
Mission
Is to help you understand your business finances, help you take home (a lot) more money from your business (i.e make a lot more profit), grow your business, and achieve the success you want for your business – whatever that success looks like to you. Too many entrepreneurs are living off the financial scraps of their business and not taking home the money they should be. Our mission, as well as keeping you legal with HMRC and Companies House, of course, is to make sure that this is not you – to make sure that you are taking money out of your business. For you to be enjoying the figbnancial rewards of running your business.
Case Study
From not taking any money home for 4 years to consistently taking home over £1.5k per month, within 4 months of working together.
When Angela came to us she had reached her – enough is enough – point.
She had been running her business for around 4 years and had only ever been putting money (as well as blood, sweat, and tears – literally) into her business each month. She was really starting to get down about it and needed things to change for the sake of her sanity.
