Build Your Business To Create Financial Freedom
Based in Wolverhampton, Get Smart Accountants goes
beyond accounting, bookkeeping and tax services.
Accountants for growing businesses who want to understand
their numbers and scale with confidence.
WHO WE ARE
We’re Paul and Emma, a husband-and-wife team who’ve built Get Smart from the ground up. Paul’s an experienced accountant; Emma’s a former teacher with a knack for strategy and people.
Together, we’ve been through the ups and downs of growing a business while raising a family — and we know how powerful it is when your finances start working for you, not against you.
From our base in Wolverhampton, we support ambitious business owners across the West Midlands and beyond.
We’re not just accountants. We’re your strategic partners, sounding board, and biggest supporters — helping you understand your numbers, make smart decisions, and build a business that gives you time, freedom, and peace of mind.
Is it time for you to Get Smart?
"Paul and Emma genuinely care — not just about our business, but about us as people.”

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
Our clients choose us — and stay with us — because we do things differently.
We’re not just here to tick boxes and file returns.
We’re here to help you understand your numbers, make smart decisions, and grow your business with confidence.
That means proactive advice, no jargon, and a team that actually cares about your success.
Here’s what our clients say makes us different:
- We explain things clearly – no waffle, just the facts you need in a way you understand
- We’re super responsive – ask us anything (yes, even the “silly” questions)
- We’re personal – we get to know you, not just your balance sheet
- We use tech smartly – Dext, Xero and digital insights to keep you in control
- We take the pressure off – so you can focus on what you do best
WHO WE WORK WITH
We’re not the right accountants for everyone — and that’s a good thing.
At Get Smart Accountants, we work best with ambitious limited company business owners who:
- Have a team of 3 to 20 employees
- Turnover £150,000 to £3 million
- Are based in the West Midlands or surrounding areas
- Want to understand their numbers, not just be told them
- Are looking for proactive support, not just compliance
- Value clear advice, quick replies, and a real relationship with their accountant
You might be:
- A business in the early stages looking to build strong financial foundations
- A growing company that’s ready to scale and needs more strategic insight
- An established business preparing to streamline, expand, or plan your exit
If you’re ready to make smarter decisions and build a business that truly rewards your hard work, we’d love to work with you.
“I finally understand the difference between turnover and profit — no one had explained it like that before.” Katrina Gibson, Dellapip Ltd

Catching up with our client Chris Taylor in his newly opened Sandwell premises a few weeks ago reminded us of something important: numbers can feel overwhelming, even for the most passionate business owners. Sitting down face-to-face gives us the chance to really listen, understand what’s on their mind, and make the finances feel a little less heavy. It’s not about spreadsheets, it’s about giving our clients the confidence to focus on what they do best. For Chris, that’s transforming the former Sandwell Naval Club into a welcoming space for veterans and ex-service members - a place to connect, feel supported, and belong. Huge thanks to Chris for having us and for the difference you’re making in the Sandwell community. Moments like these remind us why clarity matters.
