We explain what your numbers mean, in terms everyone understands. If we ever lapse into accountant-speak, call us out.
Hi, I’m Rich Port,
I run Port Accounting Services from a small office in Hull. I'm proud to have been an ICAS Chartered Accountant for 12 years and I've spent 10 years doing accounts for everyone from one-van plumbers to growing tech startups.
I started Port Accounting Services because I was tired of watching small business owners get billed by the minute for questions that should be free, and tired of accountants who only surface in January with a panicked email. Port Accounting Services works differently: we prefer fixed monthly fees, one named contact (me), and a quarterly chat about your business that doesn't show up on a bill.
If you're an individual, sole trader, contractor or director of a small limited company in Hull, East Yorkshire or anywhere else in the UK, lets get some time in the diary, I'd genuinely like to hear what you're trying to build.
