Make every penny count

Why choose Fortus Accounts and Business Advisory?

You might ask why a firm of top accountants need a page to convince you how well we do accounts? Of course we produce solid year-end accounts, they’re core to our offering. But as a progressive company, our role in supporting business owners with wider accounting services continues to evolve as we do.  

So, what should you expect from your accountants today? Well, not just a set of accounts sent after your year end. Financial information should be ‘real-time’ and your accountant should provide clear, easy explanations so you can be in the know, now.

Making sense of the numbers

You shouldn’t need an accountancy degree to run a business. Our most important role is helping you figure out what all the financial data means. We’ll help you understand what signals to take notice of, and what is merely background noise distracting you from taking your business forward. 

Real-time information 

Wouldn’t you like to know where your ‘pinch points’ or potential problems are before they happen? With our management accounts service combined with cloud technology, we make sure we spot potential problems and avoid a crisis before it happens.

Look to the future, not the past

Financial compliance is important, but it shouldn’t be the only focus for the accounts team. Making sure you are compliant is our day to day. It’s a given. Of course, we can do your year-end accounts, Corporation Tax and VAT returns, but what’s far more valuable to you, is to help you use the information to make future decisions.

Keeping your overheads down 

Don’t want the hassle of employing someone in-house to do your accounts? Why not try outsourcing your accounting to us? We’ve got great bookkeepers and accountants who can function as your own in-house finance team without any of the hassle.

Cloud accounting

Our ongoing training and investment provide the best hybrid cloud accounting packages, meaning we’ll make certain you’re using the right accounting software in the right way. Our team are accredited with all the major cloud software providers, including our ‘Platinum Partner’ accreditation with Xero.

Carousel of customer testimonials.

With a rapidly expanding manufacturing business and cashflow a constant problem, our bank wouldn’t offer further borrowing, expensive short-term loans seemed the only answer. Fortus took time to understand our business and requirements, presented our story to lenders and had 4 offers within 2 weeks, saving us £20,000 per month in debt repayment.
