No. OutRise handles the entire professional clearance process. We extract the data, migrate your systems, and ensure there is zero downtime in your compliance.

Q: Do you still handle basic compliance and VAT?

Yes. We are fully qualified Chartered Accountants. We handle accounts, VAT, and Corporation Tax filing flawlessy as the baseline for our strategic work.

Q: Does 'Strategic Partner' mean you replace my team?

We are a digital-first firm supporting leaders across the UK using cloud-based systems and video strategy sessions.

We are not just accountants. We are strategic chartered accountants using AI-enhanced efficiencies, built to provide high-growth founders with predictive foresight and decision confidence. We scale at the pace of your revenue. Traditional compliance firms cannot do this.

The Flaw in Traditional Accounting

Most accountancy firms are built to look backward. They operate on historical data, delivering reports on what has already happened. This is the “Santa Claus Syndrome” they appear once a year, often bringing you a gift in the form of a surprise tax bill, leaving you to guess about the future.

This reactive model creates the “fear of the unknown” and forces you to make critical decisions based on instinct rather than intelligence. This is no longer good enough for leaders who need to move quickly.

“I remember getting a corporation tax bill just handed over (previous accountant) and thinking Christ, no one warned me about this. And I think that was kind of the catalyst to say, this is completely broken.”

An Investment, Not an Expense

A traditional accountant is a compliance cost. A strategic partner is an investment in your growth, designed to be your sounding board for better decision making.

Our first step is to quantify the value we deliver and the cost of your current inaction. Such as the 10+ hours lost to admin weekly, or the revenue lost to slow decision-making. We provide a clear return on investment.

“The first thing was the price… But then the first thing was, here’s how we justify it because we can reduce your corporation tax by this much. So you’re net neutral on this. And I thought, well, that’s just a no-brainer then, isn’t it?”

Questions Forward-Looking Leaders Ask

Is switching accountants difficult?

No. It is surprisingly simple. Once you decide to move to OutRise, we handle the entire professional clearance process with your previous firm. We extract the data, migrate your systems, and ensure there is zero downtime in your compliance.

Do you still handle basic compliance and VAT?

Absolutely. We are fully qualified Chartered Accountants and Tax Advisers. We handle your accounts, VAT, and Corporation Tax filing flawlessly, but we view compliance as the baseline, not the finished product. We do the basics perfectly so we can focus on your growth.

Does "Strategic Partner" mean you replace my team?

No. We often work alongside internal finance managers or bookkeepers. We add the "High-Level" layer, the CFO insight, the 90-day forecasting, and the strategic direction, that your internal team may not have the time or training to provide.

What if I'm not based in Kent?

We are a digital-first firm. While our innovation hub is in Canterbury, we support ambitious leaders across the UK using many of our cloud-based systems and video strategy sessions.
