Keeping a close eye on your accounts and payroll is important

Time that is better spent looking after your customers, your staff and your business.

If you'd like to focus on building your business, rather than accounting for your accounts, Kendall Richardson can help.

Looking after bookkeeping, payroll including auto-enrolment and management accounts for business owners is what we do.

From a young age, I always knew I wanted to be an accountant.

Numbers made sense to me, and I loved the feeling of solving things and making everything add up. So after my A Levels I went straight into an accountancy practice and began my ACCA training. I was lucky to work in a firm that gave me experience across a wide range of areas, and that broader understanding has really shaped the way I work today. It means I can support our bookkeeping clients with the extra guidance and insight they often need.

In 2015 I took the leap and Kendall Richardson was formed – something I had dreamed of but never quite believed would happen. Building the business from the ground up has been one of my proudest achievements, and I now get to work with a great team who make every day enjoyable.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue growing Kendall Richardson, supporting our clients, and building a practice that remains friendly, down-to-earth and firmly rooted in the values it started with.

Outside of work, my two young children keep me very busy, and as a family we enjoy beach trips, bike rides and hopefully, as the children get older, introducing them to skiing.

As a fractional FD or CFO, I work alongside founders, owners and leadership teams to bring clarity and direction to their numbers — without the need for a full-time hire.

I keep things simple, practical, and focused on what really matters for your goals and growth.
