who you get

Carol and Mick do the work themselves

Carol has worked in finance since 1978, in accountancy from 1996, and has kept the books for small businesses across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire since 2004. The practice has been registered with the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers since 2013.

Mick looks after the accounts and the planning side. Between them they are the whole practice, which is why somebody answers when you ring, and why the person answering already knows what you do.

We ring, they answer. After years of chasing a big firm for a callback, that on its own has been worth the move.

I went self-employed with a carrier bag of receipts and no idea what I was doing. No judgement, just sorted.
