The accountancy concept on a computer: the headline “Your business's numbers, in order”, a photograph of a desk and a sample quarterly summary.

What this concept explores

How to build trust without seeming cold.

Someone looking for an accountant wants to know whether the firm understands their case, how it will work and what it will ask of them. Trust grows out of clarity.

The concept shows the way of working before the first meeting: three service areas, a four-step process and the list of what is requested each quarter.

  • Understand the services in three clear areas.
  • See the process and each quarter's calendar.
  • Request the first meeting with confidence.

Design decisions

Three decisions to present an accounting firm clearly and without jargon.

Detail: a photograph of a desk with a sample quarterly summary on top, marking invoices, expenses and payroll as done and the tax returns as in preparation, plus the next meeting.

Order at first glance

A sample quarterly summary, with the status of each task, shows how the firm works before anyone speaks to it. Visitors understand the service without reading a paragraph.

Detail: three columns of services, tax, payroll and accounting, numbered with Roman numerals and with three lines each.

Three areas, and that's it

Tax, payroll and accounting, each with three lines. No endless lists of services that make people read everything to find what they need.

Detail: the section “Every quarter, no surprises”, with a photograph of a pen on papers and the list of documents requested each quarter.

What we'll ask you for, each quarter

A clear list of each quarter's documents, so clients know what to send without having to ask.

Identity

A dark office green, light paper and a touch of brass. A reading serif for the headings, bringing calm and authority.

Your business's numbers, in order.

Tax, payroll and accounting for the self-employed and small businesses. We tell you what needs doing, when and why, without jargon.

Spectral, a serif designed for screens, for the headings; Public Sans, clear and neutral, for the text.

Documents neatly arranged on a table, with a gold pencil. A small meeting room with a wooden table. A stone façade with white shutters.
