Focused on adding value to your business

The days of traditional accounting are over. Preparing a set of accounts is the easy part. What matters is what we do with the numbers, and the action we take off the back of them to drive and grow your business.

Why use JDF

A different kind of accountant

We did not want to be the typical practice you speak to a handful of times a year. We build the relationship first, then the numbers look after themselves.

01

A unique approach

Times have changed. Simply preparing a set of accounts no longer adds the value it once did. It is what we do with those numbers, and the action we take off the back of them, that drives a business forward.

02

Value focused

We are in your corner for anything business related. Accountancy does not stop at preparing the numbers. It is a relationship focused on giving you exactly what you need to succeed.

03

Technology driven

We use the latest technology in our industry to stay efficient and productive. That frees us up to spend more time with you, working on the things that actually matter.

How we support your business

From first invoice to a full finance team

From compliance to a fully outsourced finance function, we build the support around your business. Pick the line you need today, grow into the rest when you are ready.

  • 01

    Year end accounts and compliance

    Statutory accounts and corporation tax filed accurately and on time, explained in plain English so you know exactly where the business stands.

  • 02

    Self assessment and personal tax

    Directors, sole traders and landlords. We handle the return, plan the timing and make sure you never pay a penny more than you owe.

  • 03

    VAT and Making Tax Digital

    Registration, scheme advice and digital filing kept fully compliant, so quarter ends become a non event rather than a scramble.

  • 04

    Payroll and pensions

    Your people paid correctly every cycle, with payslips, RTI submissions and auto enrolment handled quietly in the background.

  • 05

    Bookkeeping and cloud accounting

    A clean, real time set of books in Xero, reconciled and ready, so the numbers you make decisions on are the numbers you can trust.

  • 06

    Management accounts and advisory

    Regular reporting, cash flow forecasting and a sounding board for the big calls. This is where good accountants earn their keep.

  • 07

    Outsourced finance team

    A full finance function without the headcount. Bookkeeper, accountant and finance director, on tap, for a fraction of an in house team.

  • 08

    Startups and company formation

    Getting going the right way. Company set up, structure, registrations and the early advice that saves you money later on.

Play with the numbers

What could your year look like?

Drag the sliders for a rough picture of a limited company year. It is an illustration, not advice, but it shows the kind of clarity we bring to every set of numbers we touch.

About JDF

Driven by a determination
for providing real value

JDF started in a garage. A founder, a laptop and a belief that accountancy had lost the plot. Clients were getting a set of accounts once a year and very little else.

Moving to the Business Innovation Centre at Binley, part of the University of Warwick Science Park, changed that. James called it one of the best business decisions he ever made. Since the move the client base has grown by more than eighty per cent, across the whole country.

We strive to be there for our clients with open and honest relationships, not just from an accountancy point of view, but for anything they need.
