ABOUT GLASS ACCOUNTANTS
Adding Value to Your Business
Your own Dedicated, Qualified Accountant
Offering You a Transparent Service
Why we started
At Glass Accountants, we were driven to create a different kind of accounting firm—one that challenges the traditional, detached approach that too many small and medium-sized businesses experience.
​
Many accountants focus solely on compliance, ticking boxes and meeting deadlines. But while deadlines are important, we believe that your accountant should do more than just meet them. They should be a trusted partner who actively adds value to your business.
​
That's why we decided to redefine what an accountant can be. Glass Accountants takes a modern, proactive approach to accountancy, tax, and business consultation.
​
Our mission is simple: to provide exceptional service that exceeds our clients' expectations. We take the time to truly listen to your needs and offer strategic advice to improve profits and drive business growth.
How we operate
​
One Accountant for all your needs​
​
In many practices, your accountancy services are divided among different individuals—one person handles bookkeeping, another manages payroll, and yet another oversees personal tax.
We believe this fragmented approach can lead to inconsistencies and miscommunication, which ultimately creates unnecessary challenges for you.
​
What Makes Us Different
​
At Glass Accountants, we take a more integrated approach. You’ll be assigned a qualified, proactive accountant who handles all your accountancy needs—whether that’s bookkeeping, payroll, personal tax, or anything else.
We serve individuals, partnerships, and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) across a wide range of industries. Before we begin any work, we take the time to meet with you, ensuring we fully understand your requirements. This helps us tailor our services to your unique needs, providing you with the best possible support and advice.
A digital service
At Glass Accountants, we take pride in being a fully digital accounting firm. We operate a paperless office, storing all documents securely in the cloud. With two-factor authentication, we ensure that your data is protected and accessible whenever we need it, allowing us to deliver a rapid and high-quality service—no matter where you’re based.
​
We encourage our clients to take advantage of our Shared Google Drive feature, making it easy, fast, and secure to share documents with us at your convenience.
​
As experts in leading accounting software, we are proficient in using platforms like:
​
-
Xero
-
QuickBooks
-
Sage Business Cloud
-
Sage 50
-
​
Additionally, we embrace remote working and conduct client meetings online whenever possible, ensuring flexibility and convenience for you.
Our digital service also enables us to serve businesses nationwide, offering flexibility and efficiency. By reducing overhead costs, we’re able to pass those savings directly to our clients. Additionally, our digital approach helps us minimize our carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable business model.
A transparent service ​
​
We aim to be transparent with our clients in all ways. Working with you, rather than working for you. We share tips on ways you can reduce your accountancy fees. And we share skills on how to perform bookkeeping, VAT checks and much more on our Glass Guides Channel.
How we charge
We offer a free initial meeting where we discuss your needs and decide the services you require. We will then provide you with a fixed fee quote which can paid via a monthly direct debit or bank transfer.
​
We recommend that you meet with selection of accountants to find the best one for you. We thus guarantee your fixed fee quote for two months, giving you the time you need to make an informed decision.
​
Before you make a decision read our Glass Guide - Choosing Your Accountant.
​
​
Our fees may increase or decrease over time, depending on the level of work involved and the services provided. We guarantee that your annual fixed fee quote will never change over that specified period. Instead, we will discuss the time-cost with you and reduce or increase the following year's fixed fee if there is a material difference. This allows many of our clients to learn better accounting practices and reduce their accountancy fees over time.
​
Should you decide you require extra services, we will provide you with an updated quote. This avoids you receiving hidden fees you were not expecting.
