FRESH EYES FINANCE
Providing friendly finance advice, specialising in charity finance, start ups and the entertainment industry
Our Approach & Philosophy
A "Fresh" Perspective
...we aim to engage clients that are doing good in the world and add value to your charitable purpose. We are not in the business of inflated accountancy fees!
Let's chat! There is no charge whatsoever for our first few meetings as we find out about each other, we meet your team and you meet ours...
Fresh Eyes Finance is an accountancy practice offering a broad range of services, and friendly finance advice, specialising in charity finance, start ups and the entertainment industry.
Fresh Eyes Finance is managed by Brian Dorgan FCCA and Jonathan Chartres FCA.
​
Brian and Jonathan pride themselves on their understanding of the charity sector and worlds of art, theatre and film...
... we will then build a solution of staffing and hourly rates to match your needs. That might be 5 hours of a bookkeeper per week, 2 days of a management accountant per month and one day of a Finance Director per quarter. We can build this into a monthly retainer, or keep it simple with transparent hourly rates.​
We love smart systems and the approach to Making Tax Digital - We are Xero champions, love Monzo business banking and all things Google.
