HERE FOR YOUR JOURNEY

“I’m Michael Filiou, a qualified accountant since 1987. I started this practice to help owners of independent and family run businesses achieve a smoother journey through business and life. I’ve got to know hundreds of you since then. Passionate business owners, resourceful entrepreneurs. Doers, makers, founders and leaders. Believe me when I tell you that no two of you are the same!

Some of you are just setting out on your journey, others are thinking of an exit strategy and looking forward to enjoying the fruits of your years of hard work. Perhaps you’re right in the thick of it, riding the uncertain waters of current world conditions. Whatever stage you’re at, when working with you our goal will be simple: to build a trusting professional relationship between us that will act as a foundation for you to nurture, develop and achieve your business objectives. 

Like life, business is complex. Companies change, grow, face opportunities and challenges. Understanding your life and business goals means my team and I can help you plan for what matters most to you, and guide you along the way.

Whether you need:

  • Standard accountancy and compliance services
  • Proactive tax management
  • Inheritance tax planning for the next generation
  • Strategic business advice and effective tools to help you make key decisions
  • Financial problem solving and crisis management

Over the years I have put together a team of like-minded individuals who share my passion for helping clients to achieve their goals. Our strong client relationships are underpinned by solid advice provided in an environment of trust and integrity.

Unlike many accountancy practices we operate as a team, almost a family in fact. This is something that clients and new team members notice and comment on positively.

My team and I are here for you for the whole journey, the highs and the lows, looking after your interests to give you peace of mind and a smoother journey through business and life.”

Once we understand you and your issues we can help you to clarify your objectives and what needs to be done to overcome any challenges you face.
