I was given Chris Oakes name by a fellow childminder 4
years ago as I found book keeping very daunting and didn’t know where to begin.
I am so glad I did he explained everything I needed to do and sat with me and explained everything to me in simple terms and had so much patience.
He is very friendly and very professional and I would never use anyone else. I would highly recommend Chris to all fellow childminders, he has been a god send I don’t know what mess I would be in without him.

Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
Every business, big or small, needs to hire an accountant to protect the financial integrity of the organisation. Many business owners think that with the assistance of handy software, they can personally handle the accounting, and truth be told, that is the biggest mistake a business owner can make.
When business owners decide not to hire an accountant they are usually motivated by the savings they think they will achieve, but fact of the matter is a good accountant can be one of the most worthwhile investments made in the business, and in the end can actually end up saving the company money.
Hiring the right accountant can be a valuable asset to your business, no matter how small, and can provide many benefits at various stages of growth.
What do you love most about your job?
I enjoy meeting people and getting to understand each individual business, as they are all so different in varying ways. It is very rewarding when you play a big part in a business which starts to grow and thrive under your direction.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Chris was brought up in an accountancy environment as his Father was a Senior Partner in Guild Appleton & Co Chartered Accountants in Liverpool, specialising in small businesses. As a young man Chris worked in the school holidays for his Father. This introduction started his initial interest in accountancy, and it soon became clear to him what an important role Accountants play in order for a business to be successful.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have a vast amount of experience of small businesses, having worked for a few restaurant chains, service and repair business, KPMG and Price Waterhouse Coopers. All of the above experience has resulted in a unique wealth of knowledge in all aspects of the finance field, and in many varying business types. I can use my talents and easily adapt my skills to either the setting up of a new business, or be instrumental in the smooth running of an existing business.
