Goal 1Develop the Valued brand to be a market leader in cloud accounting
Why was Valued born?
Stephen founded Valued Accountancy in April 2011 with the belief that accountants should partner business owners to get what they really want from both business and life.
Valued started its journey as Valued Accountancy Services when Stephen retired from being a partner in a leading north east accountancy firm, after the loss of his mother. Stephen was driven to redefine the traditional accountant-client relationship, by helping each business owner along their entrepreneurial journey, instead of only showing up at tax time.
Since then Valued has grown and developed to become a leading UK wide accountancy firm, that offers a range of solutions to clients (and other accountancy practices) using cloud technologies, ensuring clarity for better decision-making and most importantly putting people first.
