We started Peridot Accounting because too many small business owners were paying for an accountant who only showed up once a year. We wanted to build something more useful.
Peridot Accounting Ltd works with sole traders, contractors and small limited companies who want an accountant they can actually reach — someone who explains what the numbers mean, flags problems early, and doesn't bury advice in jargon.
Named after the vivid green gemstone, Peridot reflects the clarity we aim to bring to every client relationship: transparent pricing, plain-English explanations, and no surprises at year end.
The name carries a second meaning close to home: peridot is the birthstone of August, the month our practice was founded — and August is also Leo season, whose zodiac symbol is the lion. It's why the lion stands at the centre of our mark, walking forward the same way we aim to move client relationships: steadily, confidently, and always in plain sight.
We explain what your numbers mean in plain English, not accountancy shorthand.
You'll know your monthly fee upfront — no surprise invoices for a five-minute phone call.
We flag deadlines and opportunities before they become problems, not after.
A named accountant who picks up the phone — not a ticket queue.
