No more burying your head in the sand or spending hours combing through complicated calculations. We’ll be there whenever you need us, not just during your end-of-year tax return panic.

Meet Rachel, our Founder

Image

Blue Leaf Accounting’s founder Rachel Stewart created the company in 2020 with a desire to do things differently. She’d seen and heard too many stories of people being frightened to approach their accountants, or feeling that they were being treated as little more than a number.

Her aim with Blue Leaf is to put the human touch back into accounting and create flexible, responsive packages of support that empower her clients to take control of their finances and grow their businesses. A busy mum-of-two Rachel works flexibly and recognises the importance of moving away from the traditional, more rigid approaches to accounting – values shared by her whole team.

MTD forced my hand to seek an accountant to process my tax returns and Rachel & her team have been amazing. Friendly & approachable with no question 'too silly'. They have just completed my first tax return after I'd adopted new software and I couldn't be happier. Takes a weight off of my busy workload and I feel I'm in capable hands. Highly recommend!

Rachel and her team have been truly excellent. They have worked closely with me on the learning curve of shifting to self employment, helping me feel like I understand how things work as well as supporting me to get things done and ensure I am compliant. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Absolutely fantastic people at Blue Leaf Accounting! They have been incredibly helpful in getting my taxes done on time and guiding me through the transition from full-time employment to freelancing. Rachel, in particular, has taken the time to explain concepts and issues related to cash flow and tax planning. She has made a tedious process feel manageable. I feel much more confident and organised in my finances thanks to her support. Highly recommend.

Blue Leaf has been a great fit for me and my small business. Rachel and her team are all knowledgeable, proactive and approachable, and I never have any worries about sorting my tax return each year. Rachel in particular gave valuable advice when I was initially setting up the bookkeeping systems and bank for my small business, and again with my tax when leaving employment to take my business full time. Highly recommend!

What a breath of steady, supportive fresh air. Rachel, I really appreciate your approach and as a result of working with you on 2 ltd returns now I have a much calmer nervous system when I think about my company accounts you have been amazing. Thank you.
