Choosing a new accountant should feel straightforward, not overwhelming.

That’s why we start with a simple 10-minute discovery call with Megan, our Office Manager. No prep, no pressure, and no obligation, just a relaxed conversation to understand your business and what you’re looking for.

If it feels like a good fit, you’ll then meet directly with Adam Franks, Chartered Accountant and Director, for a more in-depth discussion around your business, tax position, growth plans, and opportunities to improve performance.

We’re typically best suited to business owners who are already trading, growing, and looking for proactive support rather than basic year-end compliance.

Our clients choose us for ongoing advice, clearer financial visibility, and a more hands-on approach to accounting.

If that sounds like the level of support you’re looking for, we’d be happy to start the conversation.

Cost cutting is often treated as a last resort.

But the most financially stable businesses review efficiency long before pressure builds.

In many cases, profitability is not being lost through one major issue. It is lost gradually through underused software, outdated supplier costs, operational inefficiencies, and a lack of visibility over where money is actually going.

The businesses that navigate rising costs best are usually the ones making informed decisions early, not reacting late.

That starts with understanding your numbers properly.

Before reducing costs, it is important to understand:

• Which expenses are creating value
• Which costs are increasing without being noticed
• Where efficiency can improve without affecting growth or service quality

Strong financial management is not about cutting corners. It is about creating a business that is leaner, more efficient, and better prepared for long-term growth.

If rising costs are starting to affect profitability, it may be time to take a more structured look at the numbers.

The financial position of doctors and GPs is often more complex than it first appears.

Multiple income streams, changing regulations, and limited time to manage finances can make it difficult to maintain clear visibility.

In many cases, this leads to reactive decision-making, missed planning opportunities, and unnecessary pressure around tax.

Working with a specialist accountant can make a significant difference.

At Franks, we support medical professionals with structured financial management, proactive tax planning, and ongoing advice tailored to their circumstances.

The aim is simple: to give you clarity and confidence, so you can focus on your role without the added stress of your finances.

If you’re a GP or doctor and would like a clearer understanding of your financial position, we’d be happy to start the conversation.

For healthcare professionals, financial management is rarely straightforward.

From multiple income streams to pensions, partnerships, and personal tax planning, the level of complexity is often far greater than in most professions.

That’s why having the right support in place matters.

At Franks, we work closely with doctors and GPs to provide clear, proactive advice that reflects the realities of working in healthcare. The focus is not just on compliance, but on long-term planning, clarity, and confidence.

When your financial position is structured properly, it allows you to focus fully on your role, without the added pressure of uncertainty around your numbers.

If you’re a GP or healthcare professional looking for a more proactive approach to your finances, we’d be happy to start the conversation.

Most businesses don’t just need an accountant.

They need clarity, consistency, and support they can rely on throughout the year.

That’s why our approach is built around a fixed monthly fee, covering everything you need to manage your finances properly, without unexpected costs or last-minute surprises.

From year-end accounts and tax returns to payroll, VAT, and ongoing management reporting, everything is handled as part of a structured service designed to support growing businesses.

Alongside this, access to tools like Xero and automated receipt processing ensures your financial data stays accurate, up to date, and easy to manage.

The aim is simple. To give you a clear view of your business, reduce pressure around compliance, and support better decision-making as you grow.

If you’re looking for a more proactive and complete approach to your accounting, we’d be happy to start the conversation.

Many contractors assume that once CIS deductions are taken, their tax is covered.

In reality, that’s rarely the case.

CIS deductions are simply advance payments towards your tax bill. Your final position depends on your total income, expenses, and overall profitability across the year.

Without clear records and regular tracking, it’s easy to lose visibility. This is where unexpected tax bills or cashflow pressure often arise.

We regularly see contractors who are working hard and earning well, but still feel unsure about their financial position.

The difference comes from understanding the numbers properly, not just relying on deductions.

At Franks, we help contractors get clear on their income, expenses, and tax position, so there are no surprises at year end.

If CIS still feels unclear or unpredictable, it may be time to take a more structured approach.

Choosing the right accountant isn’t just about getting the numbers done.

It’s about having someone you trust, who understands your business, explains things clearly, and is there to support you as things grow and change.

For many clients, the biggest difference is the reassurance that everything is being handled properly. Knowing where you stand, having someone to speak to when decisions need to be made, and not feeling like you’re navigating it alone.

That’s especially important when moving into a new stage of business, whether that’s transitioning to a Limited Company or planning for growth.

If you’re looking for an accountant who offers more than just compliance, we’d be happy to start the conversation.

A new tax year is one of the few natural reset points in business.

But for many, nothing really changes.

The same habits continue, reviewing numbers too late, setting tax aside reactively, and making decisions without a clear view of performance.

If you want this year to feel different, the shift isn’t dramatic. It’s structural.

Start by understanding your numbers monthly, not annually. Profit, cashflow, and tax should never feel like a surprise.

Set aside tax based on real figures, not rough estimates. This removes pressure later and gives you more control throughout the year.

Keep your records consistently up to date. Not just for compliance, but so your data is actually useful when you need it.

And most importantly, review your position regularly. Your business will change over the next 12 months, your financial decisions should evolve with it.

The businesses that feel in control by year-end are rarely doing anything complex. They’re just doing the right things, consistently, from the start.

If this is the year you want more clarity and fewer surprises, it may be time to take a more structured approach.

The financial pressure on UK care homes is increasing.

Rising wages, funding gaps, and growing compliance demands are creating one of the most challenging trading environments the sector has seen in years.

In many cases, homes that appear stable on the surface are operating on extremely tight margins. Even small inefficiencies can have a significant impact.

The difference between homes that struggle and those that remain stable often comes down to financial planning.

Forward-looking cash flow forecasts, regular fee reviews, and clear monthly reporting allow operators to identify issues early and make informed decisions before pressure builds.

This isn’t about reacting to problems. It’s about creating control.

If you operate a care home and want a clearer understanding of your financial position, it may be time to take a more structured approach.
