About us

Karen Gladwin Accounting Services pride ourselves in providing a financial management service that enables SME owners to understand their financial health and sustainability of their business.

Every business owner we know has hit a wall with their books at one time or another (sometimes literally). Ironically, it is often when a business is growing and becoming successful that the books suffer, simply because there are so many other things you need to do. These are the times when it pays to bring in the cavalry, i.e. Karen Gladwin Accounting Services, to provide you with tailored accounting solutions.

Karen Gladwin Accounting Services will find out exactly what you need (and maybe some things you didn’t know you needed) and get the work done accurately and on time.
