The story

From finance leader to founder.

  1. 01

    The background

    9 years inside businesses, not just filing for them

    Before founding Heights, the founder spent nearly a decade working with business owners and senior decision-makers across industries. Work included improving financial processes, leading company restructures, driving profit improvement programmes, supporting new product launches and building board-level reporting.

  2. 02

    The gap

    Most small businesses were getting compliance, not clarity

    The founder observed that small business owners typically received year-end accounts and tax returns without meaningful financial insight, cashflow visibility, proactive tax planning, or guidance on understanding their numbers.

    2024 · Heights Accountancy

    Founded to close that gap

    Heights Accountancy was founded in late 2024 to provide hands-on accounting services that go beyond compliance — helping business owners gain clarity, make better decisions and grow confidently.

    The mission

    Take the stress out of the numbers

    Every client engagement aims to provide financial clarity and confidence, whether through outsourced CFO services, property accounts management, or year-round tax planning.

How we work

Heights isn't a factory.

Every client gets senior-led support and a service built around their specific situation.

Senior-led from day one

Every client relationship is led by Björgvin personally, with direct access to a qualified, experienced finance professional throughout the engagement.

Proactive — not reactive

Financial conversations happen throughout the year regarding tax planning, cashflow and key decisions, not just at year-end.

Fixed fees — agreed upfront

Fees are agreed during the discovery call based on actual needs, with no hourly billing, surprise invoices, or minimum contracts.

Business & property — or both

The firm advises on both business and property matters, providing better decisions when interests overlap.

Plain English — always

Finance is explained clearly without jargon so clients understand what is happening and why it matters.

Commercially minded

The team approaches numbers from a Finance Director perspective, focusing on business implications rather than just compliance.
