Who We Work With
We work with limited companies and sole traders across a wide range of industries. Click your sector to see how we can help.
IR35, dividend planning, allowable expenses, gaps between contracts — IT contractors have unique financial considerations that a generalist accountant often misses. We understand the landscape and help you stay compliant, tax-efficient, and in control.
Creatives often have irregular income, project-based billing, and a mix of employed and freelance work. We help you manage the peaks and troughs, structure your income tax-efficiently, and keep your books clean so you can focus on the work you love.
Architects and designers deal with long project cycles, stage payments, and significant upfront costs. We help you manage cashflow across projects, plan for tax on lumpy income, and keep your finances in order so you're never caught short mid-project.
Legal professionals and will writers operating through a limited company need an accountant who understands professional services billing and the regulatory environment. We keep your finances as sharp as your practice.
Whether you're a physio, counsellor, or complementary therapist running your own limited company, we understand the mix of VAT-exempt services, private billing, and the unique expenses that come with healthcare work.
Coaches and consultants benefit enormously from getting the basics right — efficient salary and dividend structure, clean bookkeeping, and a clear picture of profitability across clients and retainers.
Our Services
Why Choose Us
Most accountants file your returns and send a bill. We believe great accounting goes further — giving you the clarity and foresight to make decisions with confidence.
About Us
Based close to Plymouth and serving clients across Cornwall, Devon, and the UK, Beyond the Numbers was built on over 15 years of hands-on experience as a management accountant across owner-run businesses, large corporations, and the public sector.
That background means we understand how businesses actually work from the inside — not just as a compliance exercise. We combine that real-world financial experience with a genuine passion for helping business owners understand their numbers and use them to make better decisions.
How We Work
Client Stories
"I was always nervous about my tax position as a freelance journalist — deadlines, expenses, knowing what I could claim. Beyond the Numbers took all of that stress away completely. Chris explains everything clearly, responds quickly, and I finally feel like my finances are in good hands."
"As someone who's self-employed in construction, I never really understood what my accountant was doing or whether I was paying too much tax. Since working with Beyond the Numbers I actually understand my numbers and I'm keeping more of what I earn. Couldn't recommend more highly."
"Switching was effortless and we finally feel in control. Every deadline is met and we always know exactly where we stand financially."
"They spotted tax savings we'd been missing for years. Having a proper accountant who actually knows our business makes a huge difference."
"Plain English, fast responses, and zero stress around deadlines. Exactly what I needed as a company director without a finance background."
"The management accounts Chris produces each month have completely changed how I run my business. I used to guess whether I could afford things — now I know. It's been genuinely transformative."
