A different kind of accountancy relationship

Accounts are the start.
Not the finished product.

Most businesses need accounts and tax returns. But knowing what happened last year isn’t enough to run a business today. We want you to know where you are now, what’s coming next and what your numbers are telling you.

Know where you stand

Accurate, up-to-date bookkeeping and management information.

Know what’s coming

Cash flow, tax planning, forecasting and fewer nasty surprises.

Know what to do next

Commercial advice from people who understand the realities of running a business.

Running a business creates better questions than:

“When are my accounts due?”

Can I afford another member of staff?Why are sales up but cash is down?How much tax should I put aside?Can I buy that van?Which part of the business actually makes me money?What happens if turnover drops next month?Can I afford to take more out?Should I be a limited company?
Those are the conversations we want to have. Talk to Kara →

Better systems. Better information.

Technology should make accounting easier. Not make you an accountant.

We use modern accounting technology to automate the repetitive stuff, keep your records current and give you better access to the information behind your business – not to replace the relationship with your accountant.

The tools we use

Our technology: Xero, Hubdoc, TaxCalc, TaxDome, Socket, Xama, Zapier, Apron and Adfin

Less adminSimple digital document capture and streamlined bookkeeping.
Faster informationYour accounts aren’t something we only look at once a year.
More useful conversationsLess time fixing paperwork. More time looking at what the numbers mean.

Don’t just take our word for it

What our clients say

“Nothing is too much trouble for the team at Kara – they’re an extension of our team and make our accounting processes simple and effective.”

Adam King7am Ltd

“I have gained a level of clarity in the finance aspect of my business that just wasn’t available from my previous accountancy team.”

Mark Thurston-JonesThurston Image Solutions Ltd

Who we work best with

We’re probably a good fit if…

  • You run an established owner-managed business.
  • You want more than somebody filing accounts once a year.
  • You want your bookkeeping dealt with properly.
  • You value being able to speak to an actual person.
  • You want to understand what your numbers mean.
  • You’re happy to use modern systems to make things easier.
And if you just want the cheapest tax return on the internet……we’re probably not your accountant.

Local roots

Based in Hampshire. Not limited by it.

We’re proud to be part of the local business community around Fawley, the Waterside and Southampton – but modern accounting means we can work just as well with businesses anywhere in the UK.
