More than accounting – financial management that drives your business forward. Queen Accountancy is your one stop shop for all the financial insight you need to grow your profits and stay in control

Did you know that over half a million small businesses closed in 2022? 

Many failed because of poor financial management which meant they couldn’t withstand the impact of COVID and other factors affecting the economy.

One of the problems is your average accountant is too focused on the past. They delve into what happened in the previous tax year to help you remain compliant with HMRC.

But this backward-looking focus can leave you floundering when it comes to what’s happening right now, what might happen next, and how you can change your decision making to secure your business’ future.

That’s where a part-time finance director comes in. Most SMEs don’t need a full-time FD, nor can they afford one, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get the financial management support you need.

Imagine knowing exactly when you might need to get some additional funding to help you over a blip in your cashflow. Or understanding exactly which of your products or services are driving your profit margins. Or where to look for investment opportunities that have the best chance of success.

It’s all very doable when you work with me.

I’m Helen, the Accountancy Queen, but I don’t call myself an accountant because I’m so much more than that. 

My services, aside from the usual tax compliance, payroll, annual accounts, and bookkeeping, include:

•	Budgeting and forecasting
•	Management reporting/Financial Reporting
•       Financial Analysis
•	Funding/grants submissions
•	Business growth advice
•	Invoice/trade finance options
•	Software training/support (Freeagent, Xero, Sage, Sage 200)

As my ideal client, you’ll:

•	Be a proactive, forward thinking business owner 
•	Willing to listen to advice and act on it
•	Have a workforce of up to 50 staff 
•	Run an importing/exporting operation

By working with me, you’ll get:
✅ Deep insight into what’s working in your business and what’s not
✅ A methodical approach to growing your business
✅ A business partner who is focused on your company’s success

If you know your business needs to take a more proactive, dynamic approach to its finances, give me a call and let’s find out whether we’re a good fit for each other.

I got new merch

So obviously I assessed it's impact.

First up - did I need a new hoody and 3 new tshirts. Well, probably not. But I have justified this by the fact that it's like my work uniform. So park those comments please.

1. I used Clothes2Order. C2O have provided workwear for me and Max Frimond in the past. It is always high quality and quick. They also provide a service that makes sure there are no printing errors. Their website has a full sustainability section including tree planting, ethical practices and printing. I'll link it in the comments

2. I chose Stanley/Stella clothing. I've had this before and know it's good quality. I chose a Drummer Hoody and which is Certified organic cotton, PETA vegan approved and part of Fair Wear Foundation. ou can download their certifications on their website.

3. The printing was Greenprinted using waterless technology and powered by renewable energy. According tot he Clothes2order website, thats 95% less water.

4. Delivery - now, I like it slow, so I chose standard delivery (7 days). Delivery was via DPD UK. Everything was hunky dory. But if you follow me, you will have seen that it would have been more energy efficient to deliver to a locker. But that wasn't an option. 

Anyway - moral of the story is, it didn't cost me any extra or more time to be a little greener. Made easier by brands and websites clearly displaying their sustainability credentials and data.

Xenon Connect, this was a cheeky little update! We can now see Xenon healthscores on Xero! Hooray!

Can a F1 team be sustainable?

Tomorrow's email finds out.

If you didn't know, I send a sustainability themed email to around 250 accountants, bookkeepers, and business owners every Monday. Tomorrows theme? F1.

Rant about school snacks.

At my sons school they are allowed to take fresh fruit, raw veg, breadsticks or plain rice cakes.

Now, being a rule breaker, I allowed my son to take melba toast. 

Melba toast has a similar nutritional value to bread sticks of zero.

He wasn't allowed to eat it. It turns out they have had a crack down and a number of kids were not allowed to eat their snack. My questions for answering:

1. Is it ok to let the children go hungry?
2. If you are providing something like melba toast, is that not the same thing?

Crackers!

MADE FOR IT

Accounts and Bookkeepers, listen up. 

You are MADE for carbon accounting and the analysis of data it involves.

Here is that, and 4 other reasons why.

5 Reasons why

In 2023 I ran a programme for accountants and bookkeepers on sustainability.

It was a live programme, but I'm thinking about switching it to on demand.

Anyone interested in any way shape or form before I commit?
