Growth That Reaches Your Bank Account
Plenty of Cheltenham businesses grow their sales and still feel skint. We fix that with Profit First — the cash-management system that pays your profit before your costs, so growth actually shows up in the bank. Combined with management accounts and business coaching, it means you make decisions from real numbers and keep more of what you earn. On average our clients find over £20,000 in extra profit and cash.
A Local Team On Your Side
Everything is run in-house from our Bath Road office by a UK-based team — nothing offshore, no chatbots. When you call, you speak to the person doing your work. Our founder Stephen Edwards is a Fellow of the ACCA (FCCA) with 25 years' experience, a Certified Advanced Profit First Professional, and the UK's first Profit First Accountant of the Year (2022). We work alongside real Cheltenham and Gloucestershire businesses every day — builders' merchants, architects, coffee shops, decorators, barbershops and more.
