Growth for local accountancy firm
The team at Purple Lime, based out of Hartham Park in Corsham is growing with two new members coming on board in recent weeks and more clients embracing a modern and fresh approach to accounting.
It was more than a year ago co-founders Angela Ashworth and Oli Thomas came together to set up Purple Lime – offering a small business outsourced flexible finance department using Xero cloud technology.
They brought with them many years of experience in accountancy, financial management, payroll, VAT returns, book-keeping, tax compliance and anything to do with the financial health of a business.
Oli Thomas said:“ We are thrilled to be so busy so early on in our journey – and are grateful to our clients and contacts for their support and enthusiasm. It’ s been amazing how quickly companies are recognising the value of our fresh approach to accountancy.”
One company which is supportive of the ethos of Purple Lime is chartered surveyors’ practice Colston & Colston of Bath.
Colston & Colston have a strong legacy in Bath and the South West working in disciplines including commercial development, lease consultancy, valuations, rural commercial projects, planning consultancy and building surveying.
Previously a paper-based practice, they’ ve now worked with Oli and Angela at Purple Lime to become Cloud-based practice using a range of applications to suit their business needs. These include ReLeased property management software, Receipt Bank, Xero and Tripcatcher.
Partner Allan Lloyd said:“ We had been let down previously when we tried to outsource our financial director functions – where we wanted to work with a company which was modern and forward-thinking as well as being hands-on.
“ We are a forward-thinking company and wanted to work with a strategic partner with the same dynamic approach. We wanted to work with a company which would reflect our own ambitions and we’ ve found that working with Angela, Oli and the team.”
If you believe the need for‘ once a year’ compliance is out of date – call the team for a no-obligation conversation.
