Northfield Partners is an accounting and advisory firm of four people. We work with small businesses and the self-employed in Harbridge and, by video call, much further afield.
We started Northfield Partners to give small businesses the finance support larger firms take for granted: current numbers, a regular review and someone to call.
We keep each accountant's client list to a size where they know every business well. That is why you hear from the same person each month, and why our replies are quick and specific.
Decisions made on last year's figures are guesses. We keep your books up to date every month.
If we cannot explain a figure in a sentence, we have not finished the work.
You agree the fee before we start. Anything extra is quoted and agreed first.
The best time to talk is before a decision, so we plan reviews into your year.
Every client has one named accountant. The rest of the team knows your file too, so holidays never hold your work up.

A 12-month cash-flow forecast showed the quiet months were shorter than they feared. They borrowed less and kept a cash buffer.

Meetings at the office are by appointment. There is a lift, and the entrance is step-free. Many clients prefer a video call, and that works just as well.
