You're ambitious, but it's an ambition for the kind of life you want as much as it is turnover and financial profit.

We start by reviewing your existing financial information and identifying the root causes of any issues.

Numbers reveal the opportunities for shaping the business you want to run and the life you want to lead. The science gives you the data, the art is in telling the story and shaping the numbers to get you where you want to go. Getting to grips with your business finance isn't about overcoming barriers or ticking boxes, it's about finding opportunities and making bold business decisions.

FD Works has been Halo Films' accountant for many years and it has been the best financial experience in the company's near 20 year history. FD Works is more to us than just accountants and over the years has provided managment support in the true essence of their name. MD Jonathan Gaunt is enthusiastic, knowledgable and someone I turn to for Financial Director guidance and advice.
Another part of what FD Works does is help simplify processes. They were early adopters of the Xero Accounting platform, they create powerful spreadsheets and they have completely simplified every aspect of our book

When people asked me how I have grown my business in a receeding economy, my first thought goes to my accouting. We use a spreadsheet which shows me how my biz is doing, do my projections and work hard at achieving my targets. FD works supports me with all of that as well as doing the boring stuff in a way that those year end accounts are becoming fun! Youpi! Ingrid
