My first visit to Downing Street was in 2014, as one of the Small Business Saturday 100 for that year.

Small Business Saturday UK is a non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to ‘shop local’ and support small businesses in their communities.

The day itself takes place on the first Saturday in December each year, but the campaign aims to have a lasting impact on small businesses.

Having been involved with Small Business Saturday since 2013, I’ve seen it grow each year and the many benefits the campaign has brought to small businesses.

Tax & small business news

Accountant in Surrey

I’m based in Cobham, Surrey.

I specialise in helping the self-employed with their self-assessment tax returns and accounts.

Whether you are just starting out, or are looking to grow your existing business, I can help.

I have a range of fixed-fee packages so you know up front what the cost will be.

Meetings can be held in Cobham, at your home, or other convenient location in Surrey.

I can also help you remotely, so there is no need to take time away from your business.

Award-winning Accountant

I was one of the winners of the 2014 Small Business Saturday 100, resulting in an invite to Downing Street.

Small Business Saturday is the UK's most successful small business campaign. Only one hundred of the UK’s top small businesses are selected each year. They act as trail-blazers in the official count-down towards the annual event.

In 2018, I returned to Number 11 for a Small Business Saturday event to celebrate small businesses in the UK.

I have also won several awards in the Surrey Digital Awards from 2015 - 2018. Competitors in the awards included much larger businesses throughout Surrey.
