When we speak to business owners about what they want from an accountant, we keep on hearing the same things. Accounting today needs to be about more than doing the compliance stuff. Clients want an accountant who understands their business, communicates in plain English, and helps them to grow.
Your business matters to us. We’re excited to work with you and help you understand your business finances better. Adding stuff up and making sense of the numbers is what we do. Managing your finances and helping you understand them makes us happy.
Just as the team touched down in London for Xerocon, we were announced as a Xero Awards finalist for small firm of the year! Back in 2017, we setup Ashton McGill with the aim of truly helping people. Helping them build better businesses, helping them build more purposeful businesses, helping them achieve their big, audacious goals. Two years on, and we’re so proud of the community we’ve grown, and we feel truly lucky to work with such amazing people every day. Being announced as finalists really solidified our sense of purpose and we’re so excited for everything that’s to come.
