About Buzz

In one paragraph

Short. Buzz Accounting is an accountancy firm for owner-managed businesses, with offices in London, Hertford, Greater Manchester and Northern Ireland and a production team in Pretoria. It combines accounting, tax and payroll with management accounts, advisory and business coaching, on a fixed monthly fee.

Longer. Buzz Accounting was founded in 2023 by Andy Jackson, who builds professional-services businesses, and Peter Allen, an accountant with more than twenty years' experience. The firm was started to work with owners through the year rather than at the year end: clean numbers every month, a named accountant, management accounts and a regular meeting about what to do next, and coaching for the owner as well as the business. It builds its own software, Buzz OS, which runs the firm and gives every client a portal and an app. Buzz Accounting Ireland operates from Ballymena and is the group's largest base. Sister brands cover business coaching, personal money coaching, legal support and, through a regulated partner, financial planning.

Spokespeople

Who can comment

Andy Jackson, Co-founder and Operations Director

Builds and buys professional-services firms. Can talk about running a small business, buying and integrating accountancy practices, technology in accounting, business coaching and what owners get wrong with their numbers.

Peter Allen, Co-founder and Finance Director

An accountant for more than twenty years who built his own firm. Can talk about small business tax, Making Tax Digital, payroll and pensions, cash flow, and what a set of accounts actually tells you.

Topics

What we can talk about with some authority

  • Making Tax Digital for Income Tax and what it means for sole traders and landlords
  • Budget and Autumn Statement changes as they affect small companies and the self-employed
  • Paying yourself from a limited company: salary, dividends and the tax around them
  • Cash flow, late payment and why profitable businesses run out of money
  • Hiring a first employee, payroll and workplace pensions
  • Trading across the Irish Sea and the border: the Northern Ireland goods rules
  • Buying, selling and integrating small accountancy practices
  • Offshore production in accounting, done openly: what it changes and what it does not
  • Business coaching for owners, and the numbers a business should be run on

We can also pull anonymised figures from our own client base on request, for example how many businesses of a given size are still waiting until the year end to see their numbers. We never talk about an individual client.
