Accountants Cheltenham - Accountants for Entrepreneurs

Hi, I’m Stephen Edwards! Profit First Accountant and Founder of CTA.

Why work with CTA Accountants?

I appreciate that as a business owner, your time is precious (and probably scarce).

Starting your own business was supposed to be exciting. Somewhere down the line…

CASH BECAME (OR BECOMES) YOUR MAIN STRUGGLE.

This is often due to a lack of healthy profits in your business.

PROFIT FIRST uses a proven system that taps into human nature to…

GUARANTEE AN IMPROVEMENT IN CASH AND PROFIT.

Stephen has seen business after business completely TRANSFORM their business finances (and life along the way) when following Profit First consistently. It is not some wish-washy hopeful shiny new object, Profit First really does work, and…

YOU WILL NEVER LOOK AT YOUR FINANCES THE SAME AGAIN.

Founder Stephen Edwards (FCCA) welcomes you in this introductory video. Stephen is one of many to offer personalised, one-to-one business coaching on top of our usual accountancy services.

Accountants for Entrepreneurs

We may be Accountants based in Cheltenham (we rebranded from Cheltenham Tax Accountants) but we serve entrepreneurs all around the UK. Are you an ‘average’ business? CTA are not an average firm of accountants. You deserve an accountant that’s got your back. We ripped up the script when CTA was born around 10 years ago. Forget the stereotypical suited-booted, pompous accountancy practice. That is the opposite of how we do things. Think Challenging, Ambitious, Driven, Modern, while being super approachable and easy to work with.

7 Signs that it’s time to move to a more PROACTIVE, accountant

Most accountants are hindering small business owners from thriving financially. They see their role as year-end box tickers and not in-year partners to help you succeed.

Aloofness

You hear from them once a year, at their convenience. This means they’re unacquainted with your financial goals. Lack of staff to support you.

Ambiguity

They send you accounts that mean nothing to you, with no real explanation on how your business is performing. No relation to cash in your bank.

Unclear

There is NO PLAN. You don’t receive quarterly performance reports, making it difficult to spot trends and stay on top of targets.

Unhelpful

No advice on improving profit. There is no plan or system, unlike PROFIT FIRST.

Unaware

They don’t have the skills and experience to drive your business and personal wealth forward.

Out of touch!

They have no idea what your personal and business goals are. No time to learn about your real needs.

Out of time!

They save all of their questions for you until the end of the year! It’s just an end-of-year box-ticking service.

We’re your antidote!

If you just want an average accountant with an average service please look elsewhere. CTA is built upon businesses that want to be better and want to succeed. This does not mean you need to be a ‘huge’ business but means you are invested in the idea of being a serious business owner. Business is a game and we help you win.
