ACCOUNTANCY
WITH INTEREST ©
WE’RE INTERESTED IN WHERE YOUR BUSINESS IS GOING.
NOT JUST WHERE IT’S BEEN.
We work with ambitious limited company directors typically turning over between £500k and £5m who want more from their accountant than a year-end filing and a tax bill.
If you want an accountant who understands your business, challenges your thinking and helps you make better financial decisions, you’re in the right place.
Services
We don’t just file your accounts and disappear. Here’s what working with Concept actually looks like
Know Your Numbers
Always know exactly where your business stands financially, not 18 months after the fact. We set you up with Xero, management accounts and a regular reporting pack so the numbers are never a mystery.
Keep More of What You Make
Proactive tax planning, smart director remuneration structuring and corporation tax management. We think ahead so you’re not leaving money on the table at year end.
Grow With Confidence
Financial forecasting, budgeting and scenario planning that gives you a clear picture of where you’re heading and what it’ll take to get there faster.
Plan Your Next Chapter
Whether that’s scaling, restructuring or eventually selling, we help you build a business that’s financially ready for whatever comes next.
