Every business needs an accountant; yours should make your life easier.
How we’re different…
The accountants for entrepreneurs
Our philosophy is central to everything we do: Make Accounting Simple.
A true accountant should make accounting as simple as possible for you, so that you can focus on what’s really important:
Acquiring new customers, delivering your product or service, and then having time to relax and enjoy life outside of work.

James, We Make Change
I always knew I wanted an accountant with whom I could comfortably ask any question big or small, and that’s quite hard to find.
So when I started working with Elliot, it was a breath of fresh air.
He is attentive, patient, and always responds quickly to any question I have.

Marcus, The Click Club
Working with Elliot has been a night-and-day difference for me and my company.
He's consistent and meticulous, which is precisely what you want from an accountant, but on top of that he's always a pleasure to deal with.
What makes Elliot stand out is his commitment to explaining what you need to know and his exceptional ability to communicate it clearly and concisely.
Running your own business is complicated enough without trying to learn how the tax system works, so it's vital that your accountant not only has the knowledge, but can also give you everything you need to feel fully confident and in control of your business finances.
Finding an accountant who actually gives a damn is rare indeed; finding one like Elliot who always goes above and beyond is truly exceptional.
Jon, The Island Tattoo Studio
I began my professional journey with Elliot when I was a freelancer, and he was there with me as I transitioned through to a Limited Company. His invaluable support not only made this transition remarkably straightforward and effortless but also translated into significant time and cost savings for both me and my business.
Elliot, along with his dedicated team, stands by your side, ready to address any queries that may arise. Regardless of the complexity of the question, Elliot excels at providing clear and simplified explanations, ensuring a thorough understanding on your part.
The search for the right accountant for both you and your business can be daunting. Yet, finding a trustworthy professional who places your needs and the success of your business at the forefront is rare.
Their unwavering commitment to excellence and personalised attention truly set Elliot and his outstanding team apart, making them my number one recommendation to anyone seeking simple accounting.
Jodie, Hazed Media
Elliot and his team have been an indispensable asset for our nomadic documentary studio.
They give insightful counsel and pivotal support for completely novel corporate tax issues.
If you're a founder, SME business owner, creator or nomad, you can't find anyone better.
At this point, Elliot isn't a consultant, but an integral member of our team. Nobody else comes close.
James & Guy, Vagabonding Media
When I learned about Elliot and the team at Make Accounting Simple it really was a no brainer to use them for all my accounting needs.
Knowing they had worked with similar video production businesses that operate all over the world was really reassuring.
Not only is the service outstanding, any questions I have get answered at the drop of a hat and the team are always on top of everything, making the time-consuming tasks effortless.
All around they are a dream to work with and at an affordable price. I recommend them to anyone who needs an accountant that understands a modern business’s needs!
