Digital Accountants.
Linford Grey, Digital Accountants, Founder and Managing Director Adam Pritchard, ACCA, MA, BA.
“I began my career in the creative industries working for film and theatre companies before taking a role as a management consultant in a small London consultancy firm.
It was clear to me that the advancements in technology and the democratisation of information, education and data meant that in order to stay relevant accountants needed to change.
My vision was to build a practice that looked and felt more like a fintech company. Linford Grey is such a firm, we’re Digital Accountants. An advisory-led practice with an impressive tech stack that we leverage to add value for clients. A carefully crafted service offering that ensures everyone receives value and has access to the expertise they require, when they require them.”
Linford Grey Story.
Digital Accountants, Linford Grey started life, as most businesses do, and that is small and with an idea. So we know what you’re going through if you’ve just started a business as we’ve been there.
We’ve been in business, helping small business owners with their accounting and bookkeeping needs since 2018.
Being an advisory-led practice, focused on building an ecosystem of assets that we can leverage for the benefit of clients has allowed us to successfully scale client services whilst growing rapidly and organically. Servicing niches in the hospitality and e-commerce sectors as well as the wider SME and startup market.
We’re Xero Certified Gold Partners and are the Total Xero Award Winner 2021, chosen from just one of three finalists for this National Award. This is testament to the quality of our client services and the execution of and commitment to our own ambitions in the industry.
We also won ‘In-House Marketing Team of the Year‘ at the Accounting Excellence Awards 2023.
Our Tech-Stack.
We’re a digital-first practice, but what does that actually look like? Well, like this.
We’ve mapped out our tech-stack to show the partners we work with and how the tech we use links together.
The entire team uses the Google Drive, where we collaboratively work on documents. The accounting team uses Karbon, our practice management, to stay on top of their workload and Ignition is used for onboarding new clients.
Purchase ledger management we have Hubdoc and ApprovalMax, for e-commerce clients we use Unleashed. Sales management we have multiple options, A2X is great for e-commerce, BarTab is perfect for our hospitality clients and Epos Now is good for both. When it comes to funding we look to Swoop, payroll Telleroo and business banking Starling Bank. Visually beautiful financial forecasting is what we use Fathom for. And at the heart of everything sits Xero, our cloud accounting software.
We’re an advisory-led practice and we leverage our tech-stack to add value for clients.
Our Culture.
Linford Grey considers life and business synonymous. We believe personal responsibility and hard work serve as the cornerstone of a philosophy that singularly and coherently delivers success and binds the community we create.
This means that we deliver for our clients, we are motivated by the achievement of excellence and perhaps most importantly the results, which is the most important part of our client relationships.
This manifests in a corporate culture that values enterprise and personal responsibility, where the goal of every member of the team is to proactively drive the agenda of our clients’ businesses as well as our own.
We want to work with like-minded individuals who are passionate about what they do and their business.
