About Bright Ideas Accountancy
From Solo Venture to Team Triumph
The beginnings of Bright Ideas Accountancy
After spotting a gap in the market for an accountancy offering that incorporated modern technology, Michael McCullion set up Bright Ideas Accountancy.
Michael was working for companies that were still using spreadsheets and physical receipts when he realised that accounting had to be taken into the digital age. In 2014, Bright Ideas was born – with a one-of-a-kind offering.

Our successes so far…
Our unique offering has seen us reach some major milestones in our time. In 2017, we hit 100 clients. By 2018, this had doubled. And by 2023, we had reached over 1,000. We’ve also gone from a one-man band of just Michael to a team of nine extraordinary people.
We can’t wait to see what happens next.
