Beyond accounts: helping SMEs

to shape a brighter future

 

From tax rate hikes to national insurance changes, financial rules seem to shift like a desert in a storm. Simply staying on the right side of the law can be a proper headache.

And that’s without even thinking about making smart business decisions that don’t harm the planet.  

It’s enough to baffle even the smartest SME owner. But our business is to know all the financial stuff inside out. 

And because we care about the people around us and the planet we live on, we’ve also got an eye on sustainability, helping people and doing the right thing. We’re a bit different to your average accountants.

Of course, we offer general accountancy, payroll, tax advice, book-keeping and audits. All delivered with our trademark plain-speaking Yorkshire friendliness.

And we also offer a service with a difference: we call it ‘financial direction’ – but think of it as having a helpful, insightful, informed financial director on your team. All with an eye on what’s best for people and planet. 

 

Your digital toolbox: The business
owner’s guide to timesaving tech

Is the way you work still working for you? Businesses grow, shrink and pivot constantly – and although we plan for change, we often get stuck in a rut when it comes to the way we do things. 

Add that to the fact that some of us shy away from the often-baffling jargon around tech solutions and we’re often left feeling that things could be better – but we don’t know how. 

Remote working, a move to flexible employment, globalisation and rising energy costs are just a few of the challenges facing companies of all types and sizes today. As a forward-thinking small business ourselves, we’re constantly reviewing the way we work –  and introducing digital innovations if we can see a clear benefit. And we’re always keen to share the best with our friends and clients.
