About Sophie

Not your average accountant.

I'm Sophie. I've done ski seasons in Japan, worked on superyachts in the Mediterranean, and built this practice around my life — not the other way round.

I've spent over 10 years working in accounting — in offices, on boats, and now from Bristol. I understand the freelance life because I've lived it.

I set up Kismet Accounts to offer something different. Clear communication. Fair prices. No waffle. Available evenings and weekends via WhatsApp.

Common questions

Quick answers.

Do I need a limited company or can I stay sole trader? +
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.
How do I get my information to you? +
However suits you. Email, WhatsApp, Xero, a pile of bank statements. We'll find a way that works — no total life reorganisation required.
What if I'm behind on my tax returns? +
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.
Is this actually ADHD and dyslexia friendly? +
Yes. Short messages. Bullet points. No walls of text. WhatsApp reminders. We go at your pace — and I mean that, not just say it.
What's the first step? +
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.
