Big 4 trained · ICAEW chartered accountant · Former CFO
Most accountants advise businesses. I've run them.
Kingsman Advisory is a deliberately small practice for SMEs and individuals who want more than a compliance factory. Big 4 technical rigour, combined with something far rarer: eleven years in the CFO's chair, making payroll, raising funding, and living with the consequences of the numbers.
Everything your business needs under one roof
From day-to-day bookkeeping to high-stakes strategic decisions, we act as your outsourced finance function.
Businesses we work with
We support owner-managed businesses across the UK, both online and offline.
And plenty of owner-managers who don't fit a neat category.
Why we deliberately stay small
Kingsman Advisory was founded in 2017, and for most of its life it never needed a website, clients arrived by word of mouth, and stayed. We run a capped client list: every client is looked after personally by the founder, and when the list is full we open a waiting list rather than dilute the service. An accountant who knows your numbers as well as you do, and answers the phone when it matters, is only possible at a certain size. We intend to stay that size.
Trained in the Big 4. Educated in the boardroom.
I qualified as a chartered accountant at a Big 4 firm, auditing household-name multinationals. Then I did something most accountants never do: I left practice to run businesses. Eleven years as Head of Finance and then CFO, raising millions in funding from VCs, angels, crowdfunding, institutions, and grants, taking a British scale-up into North America and Europe, winning R&D tax credit claims year after year, and losing sleep over the same payroll and cash-flow pressures my clients face.
Advice is different when you have lived it. We understand tax, but we also understand funding rounds, pricing, margins, exits and the decisions that keep owners awake at night. That is the difference.
- Straight-talking advice, no accounting jargon
- Fixed-fee options where they make sense
- Responsive, partner-led service
- Tax planning that looks ahead, not just backwards
A practice built for owner-managers
We know what it is like to manage cash flow, make payroll, and answer to investors. That perspective shapes every piece of advice we give.
Read the founder profileHow fees work
Fees are agreed in advance and fixed wherever possible, so you always know where you stand. Phone calls and quick questions are never charged, we would rather hear about a decision before you make it than fix it afterwards. No surprise bills.
Switching is easier than you think
One authorisation letter and we handle the entire handover, your previous accountant, your records, HMRC. Most clients spend less than an hour on the whole process, and nothing gets disrupted mid-year.
