Purple Lime Accountancy

Cloud Accounting = Less Stress, More Growth If your accountant still sends you spreadsheets weeks after month-end, you’re being held back. Business moves too quickly to be managed with outdated data. At Purple Lime, we put clients on cloud platforms like Xero and Spotlight Reporting. That means: ✅ Real-time access to your numbers. ✅ Dashboards that make performance crystal clear. ✅ Forecasts that help you plan, not just react. It’s not about tech for the sake of it. It’s about reducing stress and giving business owners clarity to make smarter decisions. The difference? Instead of waking up at 3am wondering if you can cover payroll, you’ll know exactly where you stand — and what’s coming down the track. Is your accountant keeping you ahead with cloud tools, or leaving you in the dark with outdated spreadsheets? #CloudAccounting #SMEGrowth #SwindonBusiness

Do you know how financially ready your business really is? At Purple Lime, we work with ambitious SMEs every day. And we see the same challenge repeatedly: business owners don’t always know where the gaps are in their financial operations and strategy. That’s why we built the Financial Readiness Survey. In just a few minutes, you’ll receive a personalised report showing: ✔️ Where your business is strong. ✔️ Where improvements could unlock growth. ✔️ Practical, actionable tips for both operational and strategic improvements. Think of it as a financial health check — designed for SMEs, not accountants. Ready to see how your business measures up? Take the survey today and get your bespoke report instantly. https://zurl.co/BDnhc #FinancialReadiness #SMEGrowth #Accounting

📊 Case Study: Turning Accounts Into Strategy A Wiltshire SME came to us exhausted. Their accountant gave them year-end accounts that ticked HMRC’s boxes, but nothing more. The owners were running their business on gut feel — with no idea which products were profitable or why cashflow was always under pressure. At Purple Lime, we started by moving them onto a cloud-based reporting system. This gave them visibility of their numbers in real time. Then we introduced monthly check-ins where the focus wasn’t tax returns, but strategy: which services to prioritise, where margins were tight, and how to smooth cashflow. Within six months, they’d doubled their net profit — without increasing sales. They simply stopped wasting energy on unprofitable work and doubled down on what truly drove results. That’s the difference between an accountant who records your history and one who helps you write your future. Ask yourself: when was the last time your accountant helped you make a strategic decision? #CaseStudy #Accounting #SMEGrowth

Want to sell your business for more? Buy one first. Yes, really. In the M&A world, one of the smartest (and least talked-about) strategies is acquiring before exiting. Why?

🎯 Switching accountants is easier than you think. One of the biggest misconceptions SME owners have is that switching accountants is messy, awkward, and time-consuming. That belief keeps far too many businesses stuck with the wrong accountant — one who delivers the bare minimum rather than real value. Here’s the truth: switching is straightforward. When you move to Purple Lime, we handle everything: ✅ We contact your old accountant on your behalf. ✅ We manage the secure transfer of all records. ✅ We set you up on our systems, quickly and seamlessly. No downtime. No stress. No awkward conversations. Just a smooth transition into a relationship that’s built around proactive advice, monthly insight, and genuine support. The real risk isn’t moving — it’s staying with an accountant who only files your history instead of helping you shape your future. 👉 If you’ve been waiting for year-end, or putting off the change because it “feels too complicated,” ask yourself this: how many opportunities will you miss if you delay another 12 months? #SwitchingMadeSimple #SMEGrowth #Accounting
