HR Business Accounting That Keeps You in Control

Running an HR consultancy often means juggling client retainers, day‑rate contractors and your own internal team at the same time. Instead of simply “doing the books”, we help you track which retainers are actually profitable, keep on top of contractor timesheets and make sure PAYE, NIC and holiday pay are all budgeted for before invoices are even raised.

From managing salary costs and payroll to tax returns and ongoing bookkeeping, our experienced accountants handle the details that commonly trip HR businesses up, so you can focus on delivering results for your clients.

Accounting Services Designed for HR Businesses

Using modern cloud accounting tools like Xero and Dext, we give HR agencies and consultancies secure, real-time access to their accounts from anywhere. Combined with proactive advice and dependable ongoing support, this approach helps you stay organised, improve forecasting and keep control as your business grows.

If you want expert accounting support built around how your HR business operates, speak with Cathy and Wayne today on 01264 598170 or email hello@greenzebraltd.com.

Tax and accountancy can feel overwhelming when you’re a sole trader, but Green Zebra have supported me from day one. They’re true partners and are always there when I need them. They’ve helped me with my tax returns, VAT, and commercial advice as my business has grown. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

After years of trying to find the right accountancy fit for our business and failing miserably we were fortunate enough to stumble across Green Zebra and have never looked back.

Cathy and Wayne genuinely care about the businesses that they work with and are always on hand to offer support and advice both with the numbers and with general business support. As mere muggles we really don't always know what we should/could be doing to maximise our opportunities. Wayne is always more than happy to talk in a simple and jargon free way to make sure that we feel secure in our business decisions.

We cannot recommend Green Zebra enough. I would recommend that anyone goes and has a chat with them to see how they can help.

Incredible book-keeping service. Have worked with Cathy and Wayne for years now and they know our business inside and out. It is such a relief to be able to leave them to do all the books leaving us free to focus on running our business. No query is ever too small and the attention to detail is excellent!

If you're a small business owner looking for accountants who bring more value than just filing your tax return, you need Cathy and Wayne at Green Zebra in your life.

As a sole trader with big ambitions, finding accountants who really understand the unique challenges and needs of small business owners has definitely contributed to my success.

What sets Cathy and Wayne apart is their genuine care, support and patience. They take the time to understand not just my current financial position, but my long-term business goals. Their monthly advice calls have become an essential part of my business planning - think financial coaching, providing clarity and strategic insights, and teaching you new ways to look and and take care of your money.

Their comprehensive oversight of Xero, Dext and the various tax platforms means I can focus entirely on what I do best – serving my clients and growing my business. So thank you, Green Zebra! So grateful and glad to work with you.

Wayne and Cathy have been fantastic. Couldn't recommend them enough!
Working with Green Zebra has been a dream, we have conversations about my business and they are truly partners in seeing my coaching business succeed. I also feel more empowered around my business finances and tax as I have a regular space to ask questions and they are only an email away

We have worked with Green Zebra for several years and have really seen the benefit of working with a smaller boutique accountancy practice. I particularly appreciate the personal contact that I have with Cathy and Wayne, knowing that I can pick up the phone and speak to someone who is engaged and understands my business. I see them more as an extension of our own team and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Green Zebra to other small businesses

I wouldn't know what we'd do without the Green Zebra team! They are so knowledgeable yet down-to-earth and approachable. I can't thank them enough for all that they do! If you want your business in safe hands, I highly recommend Green Zebra without hesitation!

Some Of The Companies We Are Proud To Have Worked With

If tax deadlines, compliance concerns, or a lack of financial clarity are holding your business back, speak with Cathy and Wayne today on 01264 598170 or email hello@greenzebraltd.com to find out how our tailored accountancy services and ongoing support can be built around the way your business works.

Accountancy Services for HR Businesses

For many HR agencies and consultancies, the accounts only get attention when something goes wrong. A payroll error, an unexpected tax bill or a cash flow gap because a client is sitting on your invoice. When income is spread across retainers, day rates and one-off projects, it is easy for the numbers to feel unclear and stressful.

Cathy and Wayne understand the realities of running an HR business. From timesheets and contractors to long client payment terms and mixed payroll, we help you see which clients and projects are actually profitable, what you can safely pay yourself and whether your upcoming PAYE, NIC and VAT are fully covered. Clear tax returns, reliable payroll and practical budgeting, all built around the way your HR firm actually works.

Accountants Who Understand How HR Businesses Actually Work

Most accountants treat every business the same. We do not. HR agencies and consultancies face pressures that generic firms simply do not account for, from back-to-back projects and last-minute staffing demands to long payment terms from larger clients. Cathy and Wayne build your accounting around that reality. Whether you need cash flow forecasts that reflect 60 to 90 day client payments or clear management reports that show margin per consultant and per contract, we make sure your numbers actually reflect the way your business works.

Cathy and Wayne specialise in supporting HR firms with accountancy that reflects the way your business functions. Whether you are responsible for a growing finance team or running a lean HR consultancy on your own, we provide cost effective, flexible support that fits around your organisation and helps you stay firmly in control.

A Simpler Way for HR Businesses to Stay on Top of Their Finances

Running an HR business often means finances get squeezed into whatever time is left. Many HR owners have fees split across retainers, projects and day rates but no clear view of which clients are actually profitable or whether the next payroll run is covered. Last-minute tax deadlines and outdated spreadsheets are common, and it can be hard to know if the business is really moving in the right direction.

Cathy and Wayne help HR agencies and consultancies bring timesheets, retainers, contractor costs and salaries into one simple picture. You get clear reports, practical advice and hands-on support so you can see margin by client, plan around longer payment terms and avoid surprises at year-end.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure how your firm is performing, speak with Cathy and Wayne on 01264 598170, email hello@greenzebraltd.com, message us on WhatsApp or complete the contact form. They will walk through your current setup, identify the biggest pressure points and put a simple plan in place to help you stay compliant and move forward with confidence.
