Krishan Patel

Managing Director

Numbers have always been my world. I’m the one who genuinely enjoys a well-balanced set of accounts and the precision that comes with getting every detail right. As a qualified Chartered Accountant with extensive experience in corporate finance, I’ve led financial operations at the highest level, serving as both Head of Finance and CFO for FTSE 100 companies.

At our firm, I bring that same focus on clarity, integrity, and performance to everything we do. My role is about steering the bigger picture, setting strategy, guiding our team, and ensuring every client receives advice that’s precise, proactive, and consistently exceptional.

Outside the office, I’m passionate about cricket, a loyal season ticket holder at Chelsea FC, and a keen follower of new technology and innovation.

If we work together, you’ll find me fully invested in making finance straightforward and stress free, because while I might joke about being the “boring numbers guy,” there’s nothing boring about building lasting success for my clients.

Dhara Patel

Director of Operations

I’ve spent my career in finance, equipped with a degree in Accounting & Finance, an MBA, and a Level 3 qualification from the Association of Accounting Technicians. Every day, I ensure our clients receive exceptional service and support my colleagues in delivering smooth, efficient operations.

There’s no such thing as a “typical” day for me, I could be knee deep in bank reconciliations one moment and meeting new clients the next. I’m very hands on and thrive on the variety my role offers. I’m passionate about continuous improvement and always searching for ways to refine and enhance our business.

Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring new destinations, cooking up something delicious, walking my dog, or enjoying quality time with my family, because life isn’t just about numbers.

If we have the opportunity to work together, you’ll receive unwavering support and personalized attention from the moment we connect. Let’s make things better, just like our name promises.
