About us

Accountants who explain things properly.

Kestrel & Co. started in 2012 with one idea: small business owners deserve the same quality of advice as large companies, in language they understand.

What we believe

Good accounting should feel calm, not complicated.

Plain English

No jargon. If something matters, we explain why in a sentence you can repeat to your partner.

Ahead of time

Reminders weeks before every deadline, so nothing ever lands on your desk at the last minute.

Fixed fees

You know what you’ll pay each month before we start. Extra work is always quoted first.

One contact

A named accountant who knows your business and answers your questions directly.

The team

The people looking after your numbers.
