About Sophie

Not your average
accountant.

I'm Sophie. Ski seasons in Japan. Superyachts in the Mediterranean. 10+ years in accounting. I've lived the freelance life — the irregular income, the "I'll sort it later." I get it.

No waffle. No judgment. No nasty surprises. Plain English, fixed prices, and available on WhatsApp — because real life doesn't happen nine to five.

Common questions

Quick answers.

Depends on your profit, your risk appetite, and your plans. No one-size answer. We'll figure it out together — and I'll never push you into something pricier than you need.
However suits you. Email, WhatsApp, Xero, a pile of bank statements. We'll find a way that works — no total life reorganisation required.
It happens. Zero judgement. I'll help you catch up, tackle any penalties, and get you on track. Just get in touch — that's the hard bit done.
Yes — genuinely. A lot of accountants say this; here's what it actually means in practice:
  • Short messages, not essays — no walls of text
  • WhatsApp reminders before deadlines so nothing sneaks up on you
  • Bullet points, plain language, zero jargon
  • No rushing — we go at your pace
  • You won't be buried in paperwork or chased for 17 things at once
If tax has always felt overwhelming, that's not a you problem. It's how it's usually done. We'll make it different.
Drop me a message or a WhatsApp. We'll have a free 30-minute call. No commitment. I'll tell you what I think you need — even if that's not me.
