CHOOSE LIFE -
CHOOSE BLUE PENGUIN
When you run a small business there’s no job description. Your days are taken up with customers, staff and working out how to grow your business. Talking to your accountant is way down the list of priorities.
But we are worth talking to!
The right Chartered Accountant can reduce your tax bill, help you fund sustainable growth and keep you on the right side of HMRC. We also save you a lot of time and trouble.
“Would highly recommend. Very approachable. Pete and Ace are lovely.”
“The difference is remarkable. Peter saved us thousands within an hour of working together.”
“My financial therapist!”
TIME, LIKE MONEY, SHOULD NEVER BE WASTED
Time is precious so we never waste it. No vanity newsletters or complex financial statements. We tell you how to keep your business compliant, solvent and successful. What you need to know, when you need to know it, and in plain English.
Don’t spend your time trying to ‘get past the receptionist’ who doesn’t even know your name let alone your business. Or, getting saccharin-sweet AI responses about how important your message is to us…
We Have No ‘B’ Team
Remember, anyone can call themselves an ‘accountant’ and promise you the world. Crazily, it’s not a protected title. So make sure you entrust your business to a firm with “Chartered” in their name. It’s the hallmark of at least six years’ training and professional development to get to where we are today.
We value every client. Whatever the size of your business you’ll be looked after by an experienced accountant – although it’s becoming very common in accountancy, we’ll NEVER use AI content*, chatbots, or someone in another country to respond to your call or email.
We have a clear, easy to understand charging policy. Our annual fees are spread over 12 months, and reflect the value of our advice and the quality of our service.
*Ok, full disclosure, we DO sometimes use AI to generate pictures of penguins. But if it’s tax advice you’re after, that’s 100% human-generated 🙋♂️
Why is an Accountant Like a Penguin?
Penguins, like accountants, come in various forms. The big Emperor penguin, the fancy Macaroni penguin, and the Blue penguin (smallest of the lot). They are all penguins.
The ponderous Emperor must consume vast quantities of fees (sorry, fish) to keep going. The Macaroni likes you to admire its fine suit and offices (sorry, plumage). And there’s the humble Blue penguin – does all the penguin stuff while being more nimble and endearing.
Unlike a real penguin, we can help with all the regular accountancy tasks, including:
– Management Accounts
– Year-End Accounts
– Tax Advisory and Personal Tax Returns
– Payroll and Auto-Enrolment
– Companies House filing
Best of all, we don’t smell of fish!
Work with Blue Penguin
We don’t take ourselves too seriously (you’ve probably got that message). But we do take your finances and business success very seriously – so much so that, if we don’t think we’re going to be a good fit for your business, we’ll be honest – unlike a lot of accountancy firms, we don’t just take on clients because they have a chequebook and a pulse…

EXCELLENT Based on 78 reviews liza mackay29/07/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm so glad I found Blue Penguin! Peter has cleared the "fog" around my taxation (including capital gains) and helped me get my affairs in order. Correspondence has always been timely and easy to understand. I feel so much more confident about it all now. Emma19/07/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shelley has been there to hold our hand and advise us every step of the way. My brother and I would be absolutely lost without her professional guidance and our business wouldn’t be growing without her input. I couldn’t recommend Shelley and Blue Penguin more highly! Helena Dovey-Walker07/07/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've been using Blue Penguin for quite a few years now and we've recommended them to many people. Peter and the team always help me when I'm stuck with my book keeping or I have a question about taxes. So helpful and friendly - you feel valued - unlike some of those accountancy firms that have been bought out by larger impersonal companies, this remains a great professional firm with a personal feel.

Connor McFarlane05/02/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have a Scottish business and they have been able to take over from a previous accountant who let me down. Despite the difference in how scotland works they have taken on the accounts as if they were based here. Great advise when needed and always helpful.
