About Us

If you’re looking for an accountant who shows up, cares deeply, and helps you grow — we’re already in your corner

We’re Not Just Accountants. We’re Your Financial Ally.

At BondEsq, we’re not here to impress you with jargon or drown you in spreadsheets. We’re here to walk with you through the real, messy, high-stakes, deeply personal journey of running a business. Because behind every sole trader, startup, café owner, or shopkeeper — there’s a human being just trying to make it work.

Whether you're flipping burgers, managing orders, editing content, or laying bricks — we get it. We’ve been in your shoes. This firm was built with people like you in mind — the underdogs, the over-deliverers, the overlooked. And our mission is simple: give you clarity, control, and the kind of financial support that actually feels human.

The Manifesto That Shaped Everything We Do

We didn’t build BondEsq to be just another accounting firm. We built it to be a bold, clear, human-first movement — something that finally made business owners feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Our manifesto isn’t a marketing exercise — it’s our truth. It’s the reason our clients trust us, and the reason traditional firms are nervous. Because we’re not just here to do the work. We’re here to change how it feels to be supported.

The Heart Behind BondEsq


BondEsq didn’t start in a boardroom. It started in a care home.

While my mother battled Alzheimer’s disease for over a decade, I took on the responsibility of making sure she received the best care, medication, and dignity she deserved. Six years in, I realised this disease had fully taken hold. That was when I was told something that stuck with me: “You need to keep going — it’s what she would’ve wanted.”

Returning to university to complete my ACCA qualification, I faced rejection after rejection. I knocked on doors, walked miles, handed out CVs — and eventually found a chance washing dishes in a restaurant. That’s where everything changed. I was promoted to kitchen prep… then offered a role doing their books. That’s when I saw the real pain points of small business owners up close — and how powerful the right financial support could be.

BondEsq was built out of that story — not to be another accounting firm, but a financial partner that actually gives a damn.
