Awake Accountancy

At Awake Accounting, we recognize the heart and soul you've poured into your business. Our mission? To deliver the insightful services you not only need but truly deserve. We're here to help you grasp your current financial standing and ignite the path to your business's growth and prosperity.

We love being more than just an accountant to you; we're catalysts for your success. Beyond essential HMRC compliance and tax assessments, we delve deeper. It's about understanding the story behind your numbers and working hand-in-hand with you to elevate them

I've recently returned to my roots here in Blackpool having spent 20+ years working in the City of London. Even though I maintain my links with London, I'm passionate about helping businesses grow here in the Fylde Coast and am eager to bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the fold.

The move back to Blackpool was for family reasons so my children could grow up close to their relatives, but at the same time I've always had an entrepreneurial bug. I therefore decided that the time was right to set up a small practice of my own with the help of my wife (Elena) to help small businesses in the Fylde Coast and London with their accounting and growth

I'm a practicing certificate holder with the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) which is testimony to my commitment to maintaining the highest standard of professionalism and ethics. I'm eager to help you with your compliance work so you can meet your tax and reporting deadlines but even more eager to help your business grow with our unique knowledge and insight.


Jelena (Elena) is an ACCA qualified accountant. Elena has many years experience working for industry and public practice. For the past 9 years, she was working for several large and small accounting practices including a top 10 UK practice, focusing on large corporate clients as well self-employed and small local businesses.

We love what we do and really want to give you the very best service and insight possible at great prices.

Our practicing certificate is held with the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants and we hold accreditations with Quickbooks which demonstrates our commitment to the highest quality possible.

We have considerable experience in accounting technology and actively seek opportunities to use technology to save time and money and enable MTD readiness
