About our offering

Our focus is on making financial expertise accessible to SMEs to help them look forward towards achieving their objectives and reducing the nasty surprises by providing a proactive 'pay as you go' Finance Manager at any stage during the year.

Management information needs to inform the business owner and not be focussed on the needs of the government or other external organisations.

Having another pair of experienced eyes to regularly review, and where necessary redesign, reports is key to our offering. This helps a business understand how it is doing against plan and will often identify actions leading to cost savings, ways to enhance profitability or other business opportunities.

We are experts in financial modelling, process design and review, staff supervision and training or development and any other financially orientated support you might need through the year.

a-count-a-bility does not generally provide bookkeeping, tax or year end accountancy services but has links to specialists in these areas and works with them to fill the gap throughout the year.

About our brand

We often use gardening analogies (and pictures) to express business issues in everyday language. This is part of our belief that Finance is not a black art but something that is accessible to all – read more to see if you agree.

Our name reflects the fact that we are a-count-a-ble to our clients in helping them define and achieve their financial objectives.

We are also a-count-a-ble to the world around us and the impact our businesses and we as individuals have on it and this is reflected in our general values and specifically in our sustainability policy.

And we couldn’t ignore the bean counting bit. The use of the reflects the numerical nature of our business but also reflects the fact that we share your interest in your business and want to work alongside you as an equal.
