Who we are
A family business that genuinely cares
We started Figtree Finance with a simple belief — that sole traders and small businesses in Bedford deserve an accountant who genuinely knows their business, not just a year-end transaction.
Family-run
since day one
Our story
Figtree Finance was founded right here in Bedford by a family who knew first-hand what it's like to run a small business. We'd seen too many sole traders and freelancers left confused by jargon, and stressed about deadlines.
So we built something different. A practice where we get to know every client, Where you can pick up the phone and speak to someone who already knows your situation. Where the advice is practical, the language is plain, and the service actually feels genuine.
Today we work with sole traders, freelancers, and small businesses across Bedford and Bedfordshire — helping them stay on top of their finances, get ready for Making Tax Digital, and grow with confidence.
What we stand for
Dedicated service
You'll always speak to someone who knows your name and your business. No call centres, no being passed around.
Plain English
We cut through the jargon so you actually understand your finances — and feel confident making decisions because of it.
Proactive advice
We don't just wait for deadlines to creep up. We flag things early, spot opportunities, and keep you one step ahead.
Local roots
We're based in Bedford and proud of it. We know the local business community and we genuinely care about it.
