Hi, I’m Sarah, the face behind SJ Accountancy

With a passion for demystifying numbers, bookkeeping, and accountancy, I've dedicated over 20 years to helping businesses thrive. My experience as a chartered accountant and project manager has shown me that the right financial information at the right time can make all the difference for a business’s growth and success.

​

​A Little About Me
I’m a mother to two wonderful teenagers, aged 18 and 16, and the proud owner of a black Labrador named Murphy. Beyond my professional life, my family and furry friend keep me grounded and inspired.
 

My Story

Why I Love What I Do
Working with creative businesses is incredibly fulfilling. These businesses are often buzzing with energy and multiple projects, driven by passion and creativity. My goal is to ensure they remain sustainable, allowing owners to focus on what they love while achieving the outcomes they desire for their families.

Understanding business finances is crucial for sustainability. It’s not just about keeping the lights on but thriving without the constant stress of financial uncertainty. I believe in playing to your strengths, and if finance isn’t one of them, it’s important to get the right help. I aim to provide support that resonates, empowers, and makes you feel comfortable asking those awkward questions.

My Why
I wanted to make a difference. Throughout my career, I’ve enjoyed working with operational teams and seeing the lightbulb moments when they understand the numbers and their impact. Helping people from various backgrounds grasp financial concepts is incredibly rewarding, especially since many are put off by numbers from a young age. For the record, I don’t have a maths degree—just a knack for using a calculator effectively!

My Journey
Working in a male-dominated industry taught me the importance of being heard and valued. I grew tired of shouting into the wind, giving 110%, and not feeling appreciated. With small business owners, the dynamic is different. You are valued, heard, and can see the tangible impact of your efforts. It’s gratifying to go above and beyond for clients who genuinely appreciate your work.
