We work primarily with established SMEs turning over between £500k and £10m, though we also support ambitious startups poised for growth.

Do you offer ongoing accounting support?

Yes. Many of our clients use our full suite of services, including monthly management accounts, payroll, and regular advisory check-ins.

Can you help with business planning?

Absolutely. We help business owners translate their vision into practical financial models, cash flow forecasts, and strategic plans.

Do you work with businesses outside Manchester?

While we are based in Manchester and deeply connected to the local business community, our cloud-based approach allows us to serve clients across the UK.

How does the first consultation work?

It's an informal, confidential conversation where we learn about your business, the challenges you face, and discuss how we might be able to help.

Let's make your numbers work harder.

Whether you're starting out, growing quickly or planning your next move, we're here to help you make confident decisions.
