Accountancy That Increases Profit and Reduces Your Workload.
Running a business shouldn’t mean drowning in numbers, admin, and decisions you don’t have time to make. Torbay Accounting & Consultancy helps you increase profit, reduce tax waste, and automate repetitive work, so your business becomes easier to run, more predictable, and far more profitable.
Why Business Owners Choose Kathryn.
Most accountants process numbers. Kathryn improves the business behind the numbers. She combines accountancy, tax planning, consultancy and automation to help owners increase profit, reduce wasted effort, and run a cleaner, more efficient operation.
This is where Torbay Accounting and Consultancy make the biggest difference.
Three Clear, Distinct Value Pillars
1
Profit-Driven
Accounting
Your accounts aren’t just compliance, they become a tool that increases profit. Kathryn identifies where money leaks, improves pricing decisions, strengthens forecasting and reduces tax waste so more money stays in your business.
Outcome: More retained profit. Less unnecessary tax. Clearer financial direction
2
Smarter, Automated Operations
Most owners spend hours a week on repetitive admin, invoicing, reconciling, chasing information, updating spreadsheets. Kathryn removes these manual tasks by building automation and streamlined workflows that free up your time.
Outcome: Fewer manual tasks. Cleaner operations. Hours saved every single week.
3
Strategic Business Structure
Many businesses stall because everything still relies on the owner. Kathryn helps redesign processes, improve delegation, and set up systems that allow the business to run without constant owner involvement.
Outcome: Better decision-making. Stronger structure. More time to lead rather than react.
Why This Approach Works
Most accountants only look backwards at last year’s numbers.
Kathryn works differently, she blends accountancy, consultancy, and automation to give you:
More Retained profit
Kathryn identifies hidden profit drains, strengthens pricing, improves forecasting, and ensures your financial decisions support long-term growth rather than eroding your margins.
Less Tax Waste
You stop overpaying tax through poor planning or outdated structures. Kathryn streamlines everything so more of your revenue stays in the business each year.
Fewer Manual Tasks
Repetitive admin disappears through smart automation. Kathryn removes the day-to-day work slowing you down, freeing your time for higher-value activity.
Cleaner Operations
Your processes become structured, predictable, and easier to run. Kathryn builds systems that reduce errors, delays, and operational friction across the business.
Better Decision Making
With accurate, real-time financial insight, you make decisions based on facts, not guesswork. Kathryn ensures you always know where you truly stand.
More Time Back
As admin reduces and systems carry the weight, you gain hours each week. Kathryn helps you step out of the weeds and lead properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens in the Profit & Workload Review?
We take time to understand your business, systems, and current challenges. If we think we’re a good fit for each other, we’ll show you how structured, ongoing support could reduce workload, improve visibility, and support better decision-making. All with no pressure to proceed, or further obligations.
I’m nervous about switching accountants; is the process difficult?
We make switching as smooth as possible. We can handle all aspect of the transition, including contacting your old accountant and migrating your records. Most clients find it easier than they expected.
What size and type of business do you work with?
We specialise in helping small to mid-sized companies (typically up to £5m turnover) that want clearer financial insight, fewer administrative headaches, and a stronger foundation for growth. We love working with business owners who want to improve profit, save time, and make confident decisions.
Do you work with start ups?
Yes absolutely! We regularly work with start-ups and newly formed businesses. Whether you’re just getting started or in your first few years of trading, we can help you set things up properly from day one, avoid costly mistakes, and build solid financial foundations for growth.
How much does it cost to work with you?
The biggest cost to many businesses is operating without clear, timely financial insight. Without the right accountant, decisions are often reactive rather than strategic, leading to missed opportunities and avoidable mistakes. By combining accurate data with meaningful insights, we help business owners make confident decisions that drive consistency, profitability, and long-term growth.
I’m too busy to make changes, can you still help?
Absolutely. We help busy business owners by taking some of the workload and guiding them through small, high-impact changes that are realistic to implement. You don’t need more on your to-do list, but the right support and a clear path forward.
Do you lock clients into contracts?
No. We work on a rolling 30-day basis. If the collaboration is working and delivering value, there’s no reason for a tie-in.
