Blue Penguin Chartered Accountants is a firm of…*yawn*…
Basically, we do numbers. We do them well and we have fun at the same time. I’ve tried to avoid stuffiness, suits, ties and surnames.
We’re an entirely paperless practice: all documents are sent, and approved, electronically. I’ve never worked out why regional firms think clients love nothing more than rooting around for stamps and envelopes and trudging down to the post box with a signed copy of their accounts.
I focus on having close relationships with a small number of clients who want someone to look after everything for them. We try and avoid one-off assignments as it’s hard to really get under the skin of the business.
Having such a close relationship is the key to being pro-active. It also enables you to take life a little less seriously – recently I was with a client (beauty salon owner) who was discussing her new pricing strategy with me. I’ll never forget the immortal lines “I’m not going near an arse for less than £40”.
The name of the company was inspired by my wife Claire – she’s very short and she likes penguins. The Blue Penguin is the smallest penguin in the world, just over a foot tall. Claire is not that short.
