About us:

The path to success isn’t always straight (and we don’t pretend it is). After all, if running a business were easy, everyone would do it. That’s where we come in.

We provide professional backup to Limited Company owners who sometimes feel like imposters in their own business - the hardworking entrepreneurs constantly making big decisions, often unsure if they’re heading in the right direction.

But we don’t just crunch numbers. We’re genuinely interested in our clients. We love hearing about their business ideas, innovations, dreams, and goals. We’re an open, sociable team where there are no silly questions.

We’re a positive bunch, and this is an open company. Not stuffy, or secretive. We take ownership and always do our best to provide clarity. Family time matters to us, and when we’re not in the thick of it, you’ll find us doing everything from knitting to cheering on Reading FC.

If that sounds like a team you’d be proud to be part of, we’d love to have you on board.
