Semi Senior Accountant

Senior Accountant

Have you given up on managing accountancy & taxes for your business?

Setting up a business is no walk in the park, let alone managing the financial aspect of it.

It requires intense efforts to make sure you’re on the right track.

Miss one tax deadline, and you might end up paying double in penalty.

I know it’s overwhelming as a founder.

Now imagine you have an expert who takes care of all your accountancy and tax situation.

You don’t have to worry about taxes.
You don’t have to panic while planning your budget.
You know where you stand in terms of profits and losses.
You have someone you can rely on to manage the financials.

Amazing, isn’t it?

That’s what getting an expert feels like.

I’m Ellis, an ACCA Chartered Accountant, Director at EA Accountancy, and Author of The Solopreneur Start-Up Bible.

I help, advise, and guide start-ups, businesses, and young entrepreneurs through the whirlwind of accountancy and taxes.

I’ve served over 300+ satisfied clients, and I’m all in to help you!

Now, I’m not the accountant who speaks to you once a year in a robotic tone.

I’m more like your business partner.

I help you every step of the way (even acting like a therapist if you need one).

My services include:

• VAT
• Accounts
• Payroll
• Pensions
• Tax Advice
• Tax Planning
• Personal Tax
• Bookkeeping
• Accounting Software
• Company Incorporations
• Registered Office Address
• Capital Gains Tax Disclosures
• Business Planning And Advice

I also offer consultation for new business owners or people looking to hire an accountant so you have clarity for your next steps.

If you think I can help you with any of the above or would like to connect over a Discovery Call, feel free to drop me a DM.

Zoom is convenient.

But it’ll never replace sitting across from someone, having a real chat, and realising they’re exactly why you started your business in the first place.

Last week, I finally met one of our clients, Sarah Yeary, in person for the first time.

We’ve worked together for over a year - countless calls, reports but sitting down face-to-face just hits differently.

You get to see the person behind the business.
The drive, the ideas, the long nights that don’t show up in a P&L.
And you realise something simple:
Business isn’t built on software or spreadsheets.
It’s built on trust.

In a world obsessed with speed, AI, and efficiency, it’s easy to forget that the most valuable thing you can give someone isn’t data - it’s your time.

And meeting Sarah reminded me of that.

She didn’t just talk about numbers.
We talked about growth, religion, challenges, and life outside of work.
It was one of those conversations that remind you why you do what you do.

So, thank you Sarah - for showing me around, for the brilliant conversation, and for being such a solid example of what happens when someone truly backs themselves.

You’ve built something special, and it’s been class watching you grow.

Here’s the truth:
Systems, reports, and dashboards are great.
But none of that matters if you don’t understand the person you’re helping.

Because people don’t remember what you did for them -
They remember how you made them feel.

Simplifying Accountancy and maximising Tax Efficiency for Business Owners | Director - EA Accountancy 👨🏼‍💻 💸

My favourite type of people?
The ones who just get on with it.

No drama.
No pity posts.
No “I’m protecting my energy” essays every time something gets hard.

They just execute.
Day in. Day out.

Meanwhile, we’ve built a culture of people who’d rather explain why they can’t than actually try.
They’ve all diagnosed themselves on TikTok.
They’re setting boundaries before they’ve ever hit burnout.
And they’ll spend more energy telling you how hard it is than it’d take to just do the work.

I’ve got no problem with people struggling - we all do.
But there’s a difference between facing it and feeding it.

At some point you’ve got to decide:
👉 Do you want to feel better or get better?

Because the people who win aren’t the loud ones.
They’re the quiet ones in the corner, cracking on while everyone else is talking.

You’re not rich - you’re just holding HMRC’s money. 💸

I see this all the time.
A business gets VAT registered, starts charging 20%, and suddenly thinks they’re rolling in cash.
“Mate, the bank balance is flying!”

Then three months later… the VAT return hits.
And suddenly it’s:
“Wait… where’s all my money gone?”

Here’s the truth:
That money was never yours.
VAT is a pass-through. It flows through you, not to you.

The fix is simple:
✅ Open a separate VAT account
✅ Move 20% of every invoice into it
✅ Pretend it doesn’t exist

If you can’t see it, you can’t spend it.

VAT shouldn’t surprise you.
If it does, your problem isn’t cash flow - it’s discipline.

You’re Not Unemployable. You’re Undisciplined.

Everyone keeps saying they’re “unemployable” these days.
Let’s be honest - most of the time, it’s rubbish.

You’re not “unemployable.”
You’re just:

- Not as good at your job as you think
(TikTok convinced you otherwise.)

- You can’t take feedback
The minute someone gives advice, they’re “toxic.”

- You don’t listen to clients
You hear what you want. Ignore what matters.

- You hate structure
But structure is literally the reason businesses function.

- You think freedom = doing whatever you want
Running a business requires more discipline than employment.

The whole “I’m too smart for a job” narrative is getting embarrassing now.
Some people are genuinely built for business.

Most people just don’t want to admit they weren’t great employees…
and running a business exposed the same habits.

Being “unemployable” isn’t the flex you think it is.

Being accountable, reliable, coachable, and actually good at your craft - that’s the flex.

In my experience working with growing agencies…
The founders who scale the fastest?
They’d be great employees and great business owners.

Because the skillset is the same:
✔ Discipline
✔ Listening
✔ Execution
✔ Communication
✔ Ownership

Call it employable. Call it entrepreneurial.

Just stop pretending ego, lateness and chaos are traits of a “visionary.”
