How did we get here?
1
We learned the ropes.
Previously handling a variety of clients in different practices, with combined experience of over 25 years, Dana & Jen wanted to do more for businesses in need.
2
We saw an opportunity.
We found that traditional accountants tend to only focus on the past - we saw a clear need for an accountancy service with a forward-thinking, tech-driven approach.
3
We plotted and schemed...
We decided to make reporting and communication a vital part of your journey, to set clients up to succeed and grow by looking ahead from a business perspective, instead of just working with the numbers.
Assist!
We made it happen!
Assist opened its doors in early 2019, with only a team of two. We pride ourselves as being one of the most highly-rated, forward thinking accountants in Oxfordshire.
