Tim ran his Accountancy Business for 17 years before selling for a large profit to fully transition into coaching business owners how to implement and maintain Profit First, which when maintained correctly will increase the cash in the business and drive profits forward positively.
Since then Tim has gone on to become a Mastery Level Profit First Professional and, under his brand name of Your Profit Coach is passionate about Coaching other businesses that are stuck in a rut with their finances like he was.
He gets immense pride from guiding others to travel the same journey he travelled not so long ago.
Once Duncan and Tim spoke about taking over the Profit First UK licence Tim knew he could help Accountants, Bookkeepers & Business Coaches who are in the same position he was in, as he knows there is a much better way to do things with Profit First.
Tim can’t wait to move forward with Profit First UK along with Duncan and the current members, where they will be looking to raise brand awareness and open up new membership opportunities for those Accountants, Bookkeepers & Business Coaches that are a good fit to represent Profit First UK.

Profit First is now central to client service in Duncan’s firm, www.cloudaccountant.com, and he evangelises about the system to anyone who’ll listen.
Duncan started Cloudaccountant having worked for a multinational accountancy firm and then as FD in multiple businesses, so he brings a wealth of experience to the Profit First family.
Profit First UK is about nothing less than the transformation of UK accounting, book-keeping and coaching for SME’s, and Duncan has seen first-hand what it can do for clients – both for their companies and by association, their personal lives. The testimonials speak for themselves.
Duncan’s experience of building a profitable firm from scratch, will be of huge benefit to the members of Profit First UK.
Both Duncan and Tim believe in collaboration of PFP’s, and that we can achieve greater results more quickly by working in this way.
Duncan and Tim share a vision for how the brand can develop further for PFP’s in the UK, bringing them greater revenue, client stickiness, and work fulfilment.

I have been an accountant for 25 years and I’ve helped countless business owners make sense of their numbers and make them work for them.
It started as a ‘needs must’ as a single mum to 2 small boys and wanting to be flexible enough to spend time with them to being a Financial Business Mentor for the Princes Trust Young Entrepreneurs.
I started using Profit First in my business 3 ½ years ago and it was a complete game changer. Suddenly I was not only able to pay myself properly and make sure that my future taxes were covered, but I was actually able to reward myself for all the blood, sweat, tears, money and time that I was putting into my business.
Nowadays I still deal with all the compliance work, but I spend time helping my clients optimise their businesses so that they work for them not the other way around.

Hi I am Debbie
A little bit about me and how I came to build The Accounts Ladies.

Hi I am Debbie
A little bit about me and how I came to build The Accounts Ladies.
In 2003, I left my corporate position of Senior Business Development Manager- Sales Team Leader, in a central London Management Development company to begin my maternity leave. My son was born and my daughter arrived shortly afterwards in 2004, 13 months between them to be exact. Being at home with them both made me realise that I wanted to be a stay at home mum. Going back to my previous position which involved lots of traveling and 12 hr days, didn’t seem very family friendly. So I began to look for alternatives that I could work from home part time. My Partner had a roofing business and I took on the admin and bookkeeping for this business. Having previously worked in an accounts department for a number of years, and prior to that retail management for 7 years, dealing with payroll, targets, budgets, sales and purchases, stock takes and audits. I found the work interesting and my partners work colleagues .. other trades people, heard of my skills and so the requests began. This was what I had been looking for, something I could work around my family, choose my own hours, and my schedule, in my own home. I enrolled in night school to gain the additional bookkeeping and accountancy qualifications that I needed to apply for my practice license and begin my own bookkeeping practice. I became a qualified registered bookkeeper in 2008. Trading under the name Halliday Accounts. A few years later I renamed the business The Accounts Ladies.
Profit First
In 2019 I wound down my business, when I made the decision to home school my daughter through her GCSEs. Once she passed her exams in 2021 and entered college to study accountancy. It was time for me to get back to building my business back up. However, I wanted to do that not from scratch, but from experience and knew I had to do things differently if I was to have a profitable business, without suffering burn out.
I went on the search for a better way, that’s when I found Mike Michalowicz book Profit First, a lightbulb moment, this would allow me to ensure my business was financially healthy from day one. Unlock owners pay and profit without owner exhaustion. I implemented into my business and have not looked back. I knew this would help my clients as my own business was proof of that. I contacted Profit First Professional UK and applied to train as a Profit First Professional. Gaining the accreditation to become a Profit First Professional, I was back on my journey to help my clients maximise their profit potential. When working in the Management training industry, “Maximising your potential” was our company mission statement. “Maximising profit potential” is the natural foundation for that and my mission and vision for The Accounts Ladies clients.

For the first 5 years of running her business, Annette was not taking home the money she should have been for the revenue level of the business and began resenting it. She reached her enough-is-enough moment with it and transformed it from a business that was contributing next to nothing to her family to becoming the sole breadwinner 18 months later, taking financial control of her business and paying herself a consistent and reliable income each and every month. Her business profit turnaround started when she discovered Profit First and become a Profit First Professional, along with the later development of her Profit Plan.
