About Us

The accounting experts for small limited companies

Hi, I’m Sarah
Chief accountant and champion of small business success.

With more than 25 years of expertise in finance, I’m really good at transforming numbers into a picture that business owners can understand and relate to.

In my corporate years I was always the bridge between finance and other departments. This is where I honed my superpower skill for explaining finance to non-finance people!

I chose to step out of corporate to make a bigger difference working with small limited companies ready for growth. I love the energy of working with creative minds and enjoy empowering founders with the financial facts they need to take things to the next level.

My clients say I’m easy to work with, there’s never any judgement here or questions too silly to ask. My aim is simply to help you take control of your finances, so you can grab growth with both hands and build a sustainable business.

About Sarah Hands of SJ Accountancy

My advice is always straightforward (no jargon allowed), I’m practical and hands-on (I don’t hide behind my calculator), and most important of all I’m commercially-savvy.

I also want you to know you’re not alone. You’ve created something brilliant but now the numbers are getting in the way of progress – it’s a common theme with my clients. To grow your business you need to play to your strengths (which may not be finance) and that’s where I come in.

With help from my small but perfectly formed team (Anya on bookkeeping, Isaac on admin, Kenny on payroll and Nicola on year end accounts) we provide all the accountancy support you need under one roof.

Ready to get one step closer to success? Get in touch for a chat to find out how we could help.

“Sarah is not just an accountant. Honestly, she’s the best choice I ever made for my business – not only am I confident that the financial side of things are running smoothly, but I also have someone who is so passionate about my business.

She is my biggest cheerleader, strongest advisor and greatest support. Not only does Sarah look at your financial health from your current position but she also uses that to devise future plans so that you can grow naturally. I cannot recommend working with Sarah enough.”
