We like to get involved in schemes that are beneficial to the wider community, free of charge. We like to think this makes a noticeable difference. Below are some kind words from some of our clients.
Breadwinners
As a grassroots Social Enterprise and Charity, we needed expertise in both business and charitable accounting—managing the Profit & Loss of selling bread while overseeing restricted and unrestricted reserves and funder reporting. Carbon Accountancy team has been instrumental in supporting us with accounts, payroll, and general queries, helping us navigate our steady yet complex growth.
Breadwinners support young refugees into work, training and mentoring opportunities by selling artisan organic bread across London and Brighton's best markets and wholesale for social and environmental-focused corporates, restaurants and cafes.

InnovationRCA, Royal College of Art
Carbon Accountancy has, for the past couple of years, provided very helpful guidance and advice to early stage graduate start-ups and students taking part in our entrepreneurship programmes. Feedback on this distilled practical advice has been tremendously positive.
John Leyden is a valued sounding board to InnovationRCA. He's also helped us by giving impartial, helpful guidance to our first time entrepreneurs as they found their start-ups and then later as they grapple with the essentials of running businesses. It is always reassuring to talk to John. He manages to demystify and inject humour into a fundamental of business.

Testimonials
Prior to engaging Carbon Accountancy we did our own tax returns and regularly received very nasty surprises in the form of much larger than anticipated tax bills.
