2. Pallas
According to them:
Expert financial consulting for women in business. Streamline your operations, achieve financial independence and ease your mental load. Hi! I’m Shaye. Holistic business advisor. Fellow Chartered Accountant. Super-mum of girls. Your success-without-the-burnout wing-woman. My journey as a fellow woman entrepreneur equips me to offer support that's both heartfelt and strategically savvy, ensuring you're never navigating alone.
With my very own phoenix story - starting from financial square one at 30 years old, with two young children following a poor husband choice and despite all the financial knowledge one could expect from a career as a chartered accountant and daughter of a financial adviser - I’ve learned that it's all about empowerment.
According to us: We love when lived experience compels someone to start a business to solve a real problem. That’s what you’ll find in Shaye, someone that has the intelligence to know exactly what to do, but the empathy to understand how to get you there.
Female Founder: Shaye Thyer
Use your business to achieve financial independence, because a man is not a financial plan 😉

I’m passionate about helping small and medium-sized businesses thrive. I understand the challenges that come with running a business – the long hours, the wearing of several different hats at different times, , and the stress that comes with keeping your finances in order. But here’s the thing: I love accounting. I truly believe that having the foundation of clean, healthy books is the fundamental to a successful business.

5. Bloom Money
According to them:
Numbers have been our bread, butter and love, all our lives. But the rigidness of traditional accounting always seemed to force a mould onto the modern business world that didn’t fit. We wanted to create a space for these businesses.
Something easy, personal and transparent; challenging every business owner’s perception of how finances work, and how accountants can work for them.
We believe conversations around money are fraught, and financial literacy has become an assumed-knowledge, not an acquired one. And we get it — it’s daunting to learn something new, or ask for help when you’re running a business and running out of excuses to put yourself first.
We’ve been there and we’re here to help.
We want to encourage more people to talk about the numbers (they’re not dirty). We want you to ask the question you feel nervous to ask (it’s never silly). And we want to be by your side, helping you grow the business you want with confidence, clarity, control, (and a cheeky glass of red in hand). Because we’re accountants… just not the ones you’re used to.
According to us: OK seriously, they had us at wine. But in all honesty, we know the wine thang (speaking from experience) is a way to let people know things can be both easy and enjoyable. Now that’s the kind of accountant we want to work with.
Female Founder: Jaimie & Olivia
