About us - who we are
We are 2 Sisters Accounting and we want to make accounting a bit less dull.
Beth
Jessie
We are Beth & Jessie, the sisters in question.
As you can imagine, we spend a lot of time together as Sisters and business partners but, surprisingly, we don’t hate each other (yet!).
Instead, we’ve put all our time and energy into building relationships with our clients, really getting to know them and their business, and helping them do exactly what we did ourselves.
Going from being skilled at something (be that accounting, recruiting, consulting, etc) to turning this into a business is not easy. And that’s exactly what we help our clients to do.
We help them turn a passion that could make them a living into a successful business that funds the lifestyle they want.
While we want to make everyday accounting and bookkeeping easy and straightforward for small businesses, our bigger mission is to be their partner.
We love to work with clients from the start of their journey, giving them the support that they need to grow and develop, and get to where they want to be.
We want our clients to be able to focus on what they do best, as this is their domain and what ultimately makes their business a success.
So we take on the burden of tax and accounting to give them more:
Knowledge
They understand their finances and where their business is at all times.
Time
To work on what they enjoy rather than running the business.
Money
From growing profitably to funding their future.
Our promise to you
If you become our client, we’ll answer your questions, we’ll get the job done and we’ll make you feel more comfortable and confident about your business numbers than you have ever been before. Oh, and we’ll hopefully make you smile while we do it.
Jessie Chivers
Jessie set the bar high from the start, gaining a First Class Degree in Business Management from Cass Business School, City University, London, and graduating in the Top 10% of her class.
And this high level of achievement only continued.
She received global awards for her accounting exam results and became an ACA-qualified accountant having trained in audit at KPMG.
During her time in audit, Jessie gained experience working with numerous businesses of various sizes, all within different sectors. This gave her a good understanding of the problems facing business owners and the key risks when running a company.
Since then, she has worked in finance departments for a flight charter company, was the finance lead for TfL ticketing systems, and worked at a facilities management company.
Beth Jackson
Beth began her career in payroll and tax straight from school and has developed her skills and expertise over the years.
During this time, she has gained qualifications from CIPP, AAT, and CIPD, in payroll, personal tax, business tax, and basic employment law.
Starting off in a payroll bureau and moving into pensions, Beth then did a stint in a global business and spent years learning in an accounting practice. Here she found her passion for personal tax and helping small business owners discover what keeps their business running best.
As you can see, Beth has a wide knowledge base to advise you on. She is a payroll expert which means she actually enjoys helping businesses manage the cost of a growing workforce, and she loves helping businesses streamline their bookkeeping and introducing time-saving strategies that work.
