Alchemy Accountancy

At Alchemy, we understand the financial challenges that come with starting and running a creative business. We take the stress out of accounting, allowing you to focus on what you do best - creating. We're passionate about empowering creative entrepreneurs, providing straightforward accounting support to help you achieve your goals.

Our Story

As an entrepreneur, starting a business can be daunting. It took Craig, our Director, four years to find the courage to leave behind the security of employment and pursue his passion. We understand the fear and uncertainty that comes with taking the leap. That's why we're here to help you navigate the financial side of your business.

Our Values

At Alchemy, we believe in the power of education. We don't believe in gatekeeping knowledge or making accounting seem like a dark art. Instead, we invest time in educating our clients, helping them understand what they need to do practically to succeed. We're committed to continuous improvement, and we're always learning to improve our services.

Authenticity

We're not interested in pretending to be someone we're not. We're transparent, honest, and authentic in everything we do. If we make a mistake, we own up to it, learn from it, and move forward.

Empathy

We understand that every business is unique, with its own challenges and fears. That's why we take the time to listen, to understand our clients' goals, fears, and beliefs. We put ourselves in our clients' shoes and respect their experiences.

Craig McCall, Director

I built Alchemy Accountancy on a passion for helping creative entrepreneurs thrive. Whether it's helping a small creative business achieve its goals or watching my team develop personally and professionally, I get to work with seriously brilliant people every day.

Emily Rigby, Bookkeeper

I've always loved numbers and knew from a young age that I wanted a career in them. As part of the bookkeeping team at Alchemy, I work with a wonderful and welcoming team to help creative business owners harness the power of their financial data.

Mulenga Chilufya, Client Manager

As a Client Manager, I enjoy figuring out the best actions to help our creative clients achieve their goals. Whether it's helping a photographer build their long-term business strategy or giving financial advice to a creative media agency, I'm passionate about making a difference.

Nick Valentine, Client Manager

After working with Craig in a previous job and finding we shared similar visions, I had no doubt I wanted to come on board when he created Alchemy. The team I work with is supportive in and outside of work, operating as a well-oiled machine.
