About us
2E Accountants Ltd is not your typical accounting practice.
We came into being from a very different route than most practice Accountants and we believe that our unique background has given us the chance to really appreciate the difference that industry finance experience can offer a small business.
In 2009, 2E founder Riz Wasti realised that while many accounting practices have been a high street presence for decades, they lack practical hands-on experience within their clients’ varied businesses and adopt a ‘one-size fits all’ approach. Riz developed the idea of creating accessible finance systems & procedures for organisations of all backgrounds, and sought to build a team that could provide this expertise. Riz named this new practice 2E Accountants, as in Efficient & Effective Accountants.
Ten years on, our practice has grown to include a wide range of clients and a network of experts who can advise on all aspects of finance and tax. Also, in 2016 our practice partnered with Fairman Harris, an established practice with three partners and 25 team members, and moved into new premises in Elephant & Castle benefiting from shared resources and allowing our clients access to further range of services from Audit to Inheritance tax planning.
Small can be beautiful
We know that small business can be creative and innovative in a way that a large company simply can’t. We know that you, as an owner manager of a small business, will be an expert in your field with great aspirations for what your business can achieve. So what is it that holds you back? In our experience, one of the main barriers to success for ambitious small businesses is the lack of access to financial expertise & in-house finance systems. A large company can hire a Finance Director and entire accounts team running a proven system, but a small business ends up relying on their local accounting practice, who generally offer little more than annual returns and a moderate amount of tax advice.
A perfect tailored, integrated finance department
What 2E Accountants Ltd offers you is the full range of experience that a large company can draw on, but in the proportion that meets your needs. We are able to act as your Finance Director, Financial Controller, Management Accountant, and Accounts Payable and Receivable, all at the scale that suits your company. On top of that, we can be your regular Accountants, too, saving you time and money on your annual accounts and tax returns.
