Amy Taylor, Founder
I have been a qualified Chartered Accountant since 1996 and have strong experience in accounting, auditing and analysis. I trained with Deloitte (one of the Big 4 accountancy firms) in North Kent and worked in central London for 10 years before setting up my own practice to serve clients in Bedfordshire and remotely across the UK.
I am a working mother and over 50% of my client base are parents who, like me, work hard to balance their own business with family life. By advising you on the latest tax changes and how to deal with them, I will help your business grow and your family prosper.
I am an active member of networking group Mum’s the Boss and am their resident Finance expert, providing regular blogs to their website www.mumstheboss.co.uk. I like to support enterprises that encourage the achievements of children and working mothers.

Carol Atkinson
I have been a self employed certified Bookkeeper (AICB CB cert) since December 2007. I had previously worked as a Project Co-ordinator for an independent Theatre Producer in London, but found that was not conducive to having small children so retrained. I am building up a wide variety of clients for whom I provide an individualised service dependent on their needs, including Self Assessment tax returns, VAT Returns and bookkeeping to trial balance.
I provide various bookkeeping services for Amy Taylor Accountancy as and when required.
I live just outside Bedford and have 2 boys, aged 5 and 7.
