Why was Valued born?

People-first accountancy for life and business

Valued was created with one simple belief — business should make life better, not busier.

From our home in Durham, we work with individuals, small business owners and growing companies across County Durham, the North East and right across the UK. Our clients want more than a traditional accountant. They want clarity, confidence and a genuine partnership that helps them make better decisions — for their business and for their life.

We’ve been proud Xero partners since 2011, helping hundreds of businesses embrace cloud technology to save time, stay organised and make sense of their numbers. Whether it’s managing day-to-day finances, planning for growth or preparing for change, we’re here to make business simpler and more rewarding.

We’re accountants, mentors and business coaches. But more than that, we’re people who care deeply about helping others reach their potential. Whether we’re filing a tax return, helping a business owner grow, or guiding a team through change, everything we do starts with understanding what matters most to you.

Our Purpose

We exist to make business simple, human and fulfilling.

The numbers matter — but so do the people behind them. We help you understand what your figures really mean, so you can make confident choices and plan for the future you want. Our role is to give you time back, reduce the stress and support you to build a business that works for your life, not the other way around.

The Values we live by


We believe great accountancy is about people, not spreadsheets. Our role is to make business simple, help you understand your numbers and give you confidence in every decision.

We call it The Valued Way — and it guides everything we do.

  • We listen first. Every business and every person is different. We start by understanding your story, goals and challenges.

  • We keep it simple. No jargon. No waffle. Just clear, honest advice you can act on.

  • We care about people. Relationships come first — because trust and empathy are what make everything work.

  • We stay accountable. You can rely on us to do what we say, when we say it, and to stand beside you when things get tough.

  • We focus on potential. Our job isn’t just to balance books; it’s to help you grow — in business, and in life.

That’s what makes Valued different. It’s not just about compliance — it’s about connection, clarity and confidence in every decision.
