The Reason We Are Here
At Arthur Francis Accountancy, we believe that numbers tell a story—and understanding that story is the key to business success.
In 2021, we saw first-hand how the right financial strategy can save a company from liquidation.
By analysing cash flow, restructuring debt, and improving margins, we turned things around.
That experience shaped our mission: to help ambitious businesses gain control of their finances, make informed decisions, and unlock sustainable growth.
Our Mission
To help ambitious businesses gain control of their finances, make informed decisions, and unlock sustainable growth.
We go beyond number-crunching—we decode financial data, uncover opportunities, and provide clarity.
With the right financial insight, businesses don’t just survive; they thrive.
Our Vision
Our 2030 vision is to have partnered with 250 limited companies, providing clarity and control over their numbers, reducing stress and empower them to make confident decisions. We envisage a future where business owners no longer feel overwhelmed by financial uncertainty.
Beyond financial success, we are committed to creating a positive impact—supporting charitable projects and enabling better standards of living for business owners, their families, and their communities. When businesses thrive, lives improve, and together, we build a better future.
Cash Flow Experts
Cash, as the saying goes, is King. And our speciality is cash flow management. With costs going up and margins being squeezed businesses require the tools to make their cash work harder.
Whether this is improving working capital and getting your clients to pay on time, to accurate budgets and forecasts to know when and where certain pinch points may occur.
Please do not struggle in silence, if cash flow is an issue or you require help for future planning get in contact with us today to see what we can offer.
Who We Work With
Arthur Francis Accountancy is a firm of accountants, based in Chelmsford, Essex that believes in striving for excellence by thinking differently, challenging the status quo and changing lives.
We work with
entrepreneurs and owner-managed businesses and
change their lives by helping them
grow,
increase profits, reduce tax
bills
and
plan for exit. We change the lives of our team by challenging every one of us to excel in everything we do. We change the lives of those less fortunate locally through our association with various charities and worldwide through our partnership with the global giving initiative Buy1Give1.
We are passionate about business and love helping entrepreneurs make more money and ultimately achieve their goals. Our industry-led experience from numerous industries and sectors makes us understand your operational issues – we know what works and what doesn’t.
We typically work with owner-managed businesses with turnovers between £125k and £3m. Often, they have hit a wall. Either they are not earning the profits they deserve or are paying too much tax. They may be growing too fast and suffering from the age-old cash flow issue, or perhaps the business has stalled, and the owners don't know how to scale past the traditional barrier points.
