Hands-on accountancy support for service-based businesses

Expert advice for small limited companies

Accountancy packages tailored for small limited companies

Our accountancy packages are ideal if you’re a small limited company that doesn’t have an internal finance function but need hands-on guidance from a qualified expert.

Helpful accounting is about more than just compliance, so dealing with financial tasks in isolation hides the bigger picture in your business. That’s why our accounting expertise is rolled up into packages that offer tailored support and maximum value to your business.

Our approach focuses on building financial health first, giving you a clear picture of what’s going on inside your business to support your plan for growth.

What our clients say...

"Sarah started as our bookkeeper and is now our fractional Finance Director essentially. Starting when she did meant I could gain the support I needed at the time and then grow that as we grew. And we are!

Bringing Anya in on our account has been seamless and leaves me and Sarah to focus on strategic finance. Sarah has always given solid advice and is extremely knowledgeable in all personal and company areas, guiding me through sticky periods. I love working with Sarah, she’s a little bit of a secret weapon for a company that’s often overlooked. The future looks bright with Sarah as a part of YouNeek Productions."

A common question that’s easily answered with a no pressure call. Chat to Sarah and get advice on what’s right for where your business is at right now.

We prefer to get to know your business and build long term relationships rather than dealing with a snapshot in time, so we don’t do one-off accounts.

Absolutely! We can liaise with your existing accountant to minimise disruption to you and make the switch as painless as possible.

We don’t offer this as a stand-alone service, but if you’re on a monthly package with us and meet the MTD criteria then it can be included.

We work with QuickBooks and Xero and use a specific receipt and invoice uploading tool to make sharing your information with us nice and easy.
