Hawkhurst Accounting Limited

At Hawkhurst Accounting Limited, we don’t believe in ‘one-size-fits-all’ finance. We believe your business deserves bold, forward-thinking financial support that evolves with you. From start-up hustle to scale-up success and beyond.

Founded by Gemma Hogan, a seasoned finance transformation specialist with over 20 years’ experience, Hawkhurst Accounting was born from a frustration with traditional, box-ticking accountancy services. Gemma saw first-hand how many small and medium-sized business owners feel overwhelmed, unsupported, and stuck with outdated systems, especially when preparing for growth, investment, or exit. She set out to change that.

We’re not your typical accountancy firm. Based in Milton Keynes, with a modern, digital-first approach, Hawkhurst Accounting delivers rock-solid financial clarity with a rebel spirit. Our brand, ‘Rock solid finance with a rebel spirit,’ says it all. We combine compliance and advisory, giving business owners the confidence to ditch spreadsheets, streamline their finances, and build businesses designed for growth, profit, and future exit opportunities.

What Makes Us Different:
✅ Tech-Savvy & Transformation-Focused: We specialise in reviewing your finance tech stack and processes to save you time, eliminate inefficiencies, and put scalable foundations in place. Our clients benefit from automation, real-time reporting, and stress-free systems. No more spreadsheet chaos.

✅ Growth & Exit Expertise: Whether you’re preparing for your first investment round, scaling your operations, or planning an exit, we’re with you at every stage. We help businesses clean up their financials, ensure compliance, and get ‘investor ready’ making the exit process smoother and more profitable.

✅ Boutique, Personalised Service: As a boutique firm, we intentionally work with a limited number of clients to ensure tailored, hands-on support. No faceless portals, no confusing jargon. Just real conversations and actionable advice from an experienced finance professional.

✅ SME Specialists: We focus exclusively on businesses with £250k+ turnover, particularly those ready to scale, seeking funding, or aiming for an eventual exit. Our typical clients range from ambitious start-ups to established, overwhelmed business owners who need to offload their finance function and regain control.

✅ ‘Rock Solid’ Brand with Substance: Our rebellious edge isn’t just for show. We know finance can be dry, but our clients deserve energy, clarity, and support that feels empowering, not intimidating. We communicate complex finance simply and inject personality into the process.
