A bespoke package, made for you

Your SME is unique, and so are its accounting needs. That’s why we allow you to pick and choose which services you need from us.

We can deal with all aspects of accounting on your behalf – from payroll to pensions – but as every business is different, we offer a bespoke package rather than a fixed fee. This is based on various factors, including turnover, number of staff, and required services.

If you’re considering switching your accountant, we’ll ensure you’re taken care of – managing all the required communications to make it as seamless as possible for you.

With cloud-based accounting through Bright Ideas Accountancy, you’ll be able to streamline your accounts, have full visibility of your finances, and meet compliance requirements for Making Tax Digital. We also offer a same-day response to email and telephone queries received before 4pm on weekdays.

Who we help

Small businesses are far from a one-size-fits-all. That’s why we help small businesses of all shapes and forms – from sole traders (like plumbers, electricians, and hairdressers) to those with a turnover up to £5 million. Our bespoke package means we can support you whether you need simple bookkeeping requests or a much broader range of services.

    I'm a new business owner and BI Accountancy has walked me through the minefield of accountancy every step of the way. You are assigned a single point of contact and (in my case) they are very responsive to your questions and incredibly helpful. Recommended.

    They did an excellent job handling all the accounts for my company. The team is professional and efficient, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. A special mention to Millie McGaughey, who always responded quickly and took care of all issues. She was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!
