We are an independent accountancy practice based in Ashford, Kent, dedicated to helping small businesses stay on top of their finances with confidence.
Founded by Fern Murphy – a qualified chartered and experienced accountant, we pride ourselves on offering great value accounting services without the jargon or hidden costs.
Whether you’re running a growing business or just getting started, we offer tailored support designed to make your numbers simple, stress-free and easy to understand.
I’m a qualified accountant, mum of two, and someone who truly understands how overwhelming finances can feel when you’re trying to run a business and a life.
I’ve spent the last 12 years working in accountancy practice, gaining my AAT and Chartered qualifications along the way. After having my children and stepping back to look at the bigger picture, I realised there was a real gap out there — small businesses and everyday people who just need honest, down-to-earth advice without the confusing jargon or corporate fluff.
At Abel Accounting, we know that no two businesses are the same. That’s why we take the time to get to know you, offering clear, practical advice that fits your goals. Our clients trust us for everything from payroll and bookkeeping to self-assessments, audits and end-of-year accounts — all with a personal touch.
We work with a wide range of businesses across Ashford and the surrounding areas, including Kent-based start-ups, creatives, consultants and established firms looking for dependable support. We’re also experts in Xero and QuickBooks, helping you get the most out of your cloud accounting software.
If you’re looking for a local accountant in Ashford who speaks your language and truly understands small business, you’re in the right place.
