Advice That Grows The Business
“I now see her as a vital part of my business and its continued growth.”
Growing well, but flying blind on the numbers?
Revenue is up and the bank balance looks healthy, so the business feels fine. But you are making decisions on instinct because the last set of accounts is months old and nobody has told you what they mean. When the numbers finally arrive, they raise more questions than they answer.
- Accounts arrive months late, long after the decision was needed
- Numbers land as spreadsheets with no explanation of what to do next
- Cash in the bank is the only measure of how things are going
What sorted looks like
You get management accounts within five working days of month close, in plain English, with a clear read on what is working and what is not. Decisions get made on current information instead of a hunch.
- Management accounts within five working days of every month close
- The numbers that matter, explained plainly, with what to do next
- Profit and margin visibility, not just what is left in the account
- A fixed monthly fee agreed up front, scoped to your situation
What Bournemouth business owners say
A few words from owners who wanted numbers that actually meant something and advice they could act on.
I switched accountants to work with Annabel because I felt she truly cared about helping businesses to take control of their finances. She opened my eyes to how an accountant actually should work with you! She has fixed so many lazy, unprofessional mistakes by my old accountant by being so meticulously thorough, offering amazing business advice & has saved me thousands! She even went through my dad’s accounts who had been through liquidation & had a really tough time just because she cared & wanted to see if she could help. I 100% trust Annabel & she proves time & time again why it was the best move for my business to switch to her. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who genuinely cares, who is meticulously thorough & offers great advice!
Working with Annabel has been fantastic. She has made the whole process of changing accountants so smooth and stress-free. Her step-by-step guidance and clear communication made everything easy to follow, even for someone who does not naturally “speak accounts.” Annabel’s energy, passion, and genuine desire to help people understand their business finances really shine through in everything she does. Her support and knowledge have been superb, and I now see her as a vital part of my business and its continued growth. Thank you, Annabel, for all your help; you truly live up to your company name!
What working with us covers
The compliance is handled as a given. The real value is the commercial read on your numbers and what to do about them.
Management Accounts, Every Month
You get decision-ready management accounts within five working days of month close, in plain English. Not just the figures, but what they mean for pricing, cash and margin. So you lead the business instead of chasing it.
Delivered in five working daysBookkeeping, VAT And Payroll
Your day-to-day compliance runs quietly in the background via Xero. Accurate books, MTD-compliant VAT returns filed on time, and monthly payroll with pension auto-enrolment sorted. The parts you dislike most are off your plate.
Included as standardYear-End And Corporation Tax
Statutory accounts prepared and filed on time, Corporation Tax computed and the CT600 submitted, with tax planned across the year rather than sprung on you at the end. Fewer surprises, and your tax bill visible well in advance.

Advice From Inside The Business
Annabel spent 16 years working inside growing businesses at a strategic and operational level, including as a Finance Director, before setting up the practice. So the advice is commercial, grounded in having made these decisions herself. Not just numbers processed from a distance.
Your Numbers Within Five Days
Management accounts land within five working days of month close, every month. Decision-ready data on time means you can act on the current month, not last quarter. That reliability is the point.
Plain English, Not Spreadsheets
No jargon, no reports you open once and never again. You get the numbers that matter explained in a way that helps you decide something. If a figure needs action, you will be told what and why.
Up and running in three steps
Starting is straightforward. Most of the work is ours, not yours, and you get honest advice from the first call whether you become a client or not.
A Free Discovery Call
Book a free 20 to 30 minute call. Annabel asks about your business, your current setup and what is keeping you up at night. No script, no pitch deck, and honest advice either way.
A Proposal Built Around You
You get a proposal scoped to your actual situation, not a template tier. A clear fixed monthly fee agreed up front, with no surprises. You decide in your own time.
We Handle The Handover
We take the admin off your plate and manage the switch from your current setup or previous accountant. Your books are running properly from day one, with little required from you.
Numbers You Can Actually Use
From then on, management accounts arrive within five working days of month close, in plain English. You know where you stand every month, and what the smartest next move is.
“The support and advice I have had has been extremely helpful and has set my mind at ease knowing that any problems or queries I have will be handled or answered. Friendly, supportive and very quick to respond to any queries or sort advice. I would 100% recommend.”
Questions Bournemouth owners ask
Do I need to be in Bournemouth to work with you?
No. The practice is based in Bournemouth and works with plenty of owners across Dorset and Hampshire, but everything runs through Xero, video and phone. Clients across the wider UK are onboarded and supported entirely remotely. Being local is a bonus, not a requirement.
What does it cost, and what is included?
There is no published price list, because fees are scoped to each business rather than a template tier. You get a clear fixed monthly fee agreed on the free discovery call, with no surprises later. What is in scope, whether that is management accounts, bookkeeping, VAT, payroll or year-end, depends on what your business actually needs.
My books are a mess. Can you still take me on?
Yes, and it is a common starting point. Several clients came across after being let down, with a backlog and errors that needed clearing before things could run properly. We handle the clean-up and the handover from your previous accountant, and any catch-up work is scoped and priced separately so you know what it costs up front.
Am I locked into a long contract?
No. There is an initial three-month settling-in period so both sides can see it is a good fit. After that, either side can walk away with clean books and nothing outstanding. The work speaks for itself, which is the way it should be.
How quickly do the management accounts actually arrive?
Within five working days of month close, every month. That is the standard, not a best case. Decision-ready numbers on time mean you can act on the current month rather than looking back at last quarter.
Will I know my tax bill in advance?
Yes. Tax is planned across the year rather than sprung on you at year-end, so you know roughly where your Corporation Tax bill is heading well before it is due. Fewer surprises, and time to plan for what is coming.
Stop guessing where your business stands.
Book a free discovery call. Twenty to thirty minutes, no pitch, and honest advice on your setup whether you become a client or not.
