Welcome to abacus Accountancy Network

The accountancy network is one of the fastest growing accountancy franchises in the UK. Currently abacus is the only franchise approved by the British Franchise Association (BFA) that stipulates that their accountants must be qualified from one of the UK’s recognised accountancy bodies.

All our accountants have practical industry experience before commencement of their accountancy practice and with over 50 accountants spread from Glasgow to Portsmouth we are sure there will be someone available to help you in your area.

The abacus Franchise is part of the abacus Group of Companies. Each company operates in its own right but all of them support the accountants and their clients in the abacus network.

We recognise that small and medium size businesses require far more support from their accountant than has traditionally been afforded. Our aim is to proactively support the SME market, and with our practical management experience and with the support of everyone within the network, we feel we are best placed to meet the needs of all SME’s irrespective of whether you are a new start up, a developing business or a mature well established organisation.

A proactive service for all businesses

Before launching the abacus accountancy network we conducted extensive market research and ran a two year pilot scheme. Our findings show that SME’s need a multi disciplined organisation to support all of their administrative and operational requirements, whilst demanding professionalism, and the highest quality of service and most importantly value for money.

Based on this research we established the abacus accountancy network in 2004 with the objective of providing clients with a local accountant who had access to a national network of advice and support. This would then enable the accountant to provide a first class and complete service to his/her clients but, by keeping our overheads to a minimum, at a cost effective price.

This fresh approach to finance means we offer the complete package of accounting and administrative services leaving you free to run your business. In fact a national network of experts – on your doorstep!

In addition to the abacus Group companies we have some 32 associate partners who provide support on a national basis to our accountants and their clients in a wide range of administrative services from HR, health and safety, asset finance, factoring, telecoms, Insurance, IT, debt recovery, quality assurance, stationary and much more. In essence we can provide our clients with a complete administrative package.
