Why I Started My Business
I started Hislop Business Solutions to support small and medium‑sized businesses with the financial side of running a business. Over the years, I’ve seen many business owners become overwhelmed with paperwork just as their businesses begin to grow. My goal is to take that pressure away so you can focus on what you do best.
How Do I Know What Your Business Needs?
The first step is always a conversation. I take time to understand:
- What your business offers
- How you deliver your services or products
- The people involved
- The type and structure of your business
Every business is unique, so I tailor my services to meet your exact needs – from a simple year‑end accounts check and submission, to full bookkeeping support, process streamlining, and everything in between.
Client Contact & Updates
How often does your accountant check in with you?
My approach is simple: you should never feel like you’re bothering me.
I stay in regular contact using your preferred communication method and keep you updated while I work on your accounts, so you always know what’s happening.
Is This an Unnecessary Cost to My Business?
Absolutely not.
Accurate, up‑to‑date accounts give you the information you need to make smart decisions.
Every business decision impacts your cashflow – so planning, budgeting, and understanding your numbers is essential.
My services are designed to ensure your business stays profitable and financially healthy.

Hiring Staff vs Hiring an Accountant/Bookkeeper
Choosing between hiring staff and outsourcing your accounts can be a big decision. Here’s how outsourcing helps:
Costs & Flexibility
- Recruitment takes time and money
- Staff require holiday pay, sick pay, maternity pay, and management
- You are responsible for retention, training, and performance
- Staff must fit within your team and have the right skills
With Hislop Business Solutions:
- There are no hidden costs
- You only pay for the hours you need
- I provide a free consultation
- I’m AAT licensed and fully qualified
- You can hire me for 2 hours a month or 30 hours a week and adjust this as needed, no contracts to renegotiate
Not Just Accounts – Added Value
I take pride in offering more than traditional bookkeeping:
⭐ Sharing and promoting your business on my social channels
⭐ Monthly business spotlights, launching next month
⭐ Client newsletter with useful updates and tips
⭐ HMRC updates to keep you compliant
⭐ Deadline reminders so you never miss a submission
⭐ Ensuring all allowable expenses are claimed while maintaining compliance
