Welcome

You're an expert in what you do, but the financial side of running a business can often feel overwhelming.

​

Bookkeeping gets pushed down the priority list, reports become difficult to interpret, and important decisions are made without clear financial information.

​

My role is to bring clarity, order and balance to your finances so you can focus on running your business with confidence.

Discover Our Story

Founded by Nicola Gardiner, Slopes And Balances offers specialised bookkeeping solutions to support businesses' financial health. 

 

Before founding Slopes And Balances, I spent over 10 years working in finance and management accounting roles across forensic science, engineering, manufacturing, research and development, and agriculture.

​

This experience means I bring more than bookkeeping support. I bring analytical thinking, attention to detail and a proactive approach that helps clients understand their numbers and make informed decisions.

​

​My mission is to create clarity, order and balance in your finances, allowing you to focus on what matters most - running and growing your business.​

 

Whether you need help with monthly bookkeeping, VAT returns, internal monthly account reviews or annual self assessment returns, please get in touch as I would love to help. ​

​

I am based near Brackley, Northamptonshire but I work remotely with businesses across the UK.

When I'm not working with clients, you'll usually find me snowboarding, running with my dog Ivy, gardening, or enjoying the outdoors.

​

Slopes And Balances was built around the belief that successful businesses need balance.

 

By bringing clarity, order and structure to your finances, my goal is to help you spend less time worrying about bookkeeping and more time focusing on your business, your family and the things that matter most.

Creating Clarity, Order and Balance in Your Business Finances

  • You're never quite sure how profitable your projects are.

  • You know your bookkeeping needs attention, but it keeps getting pushed aside.

  • You want better visibility over your finances.

  • You're worried about missing something important.

  • You'd rather focus on your clients than your bookkeeping.​

Does this sound familiar? If so, you're in the right place.
