Celebrating Customer Success…

Here at Clear Start Accountants, we are proud to have supported a substantial number of
clients to date with our general accountancy support and personal budgeting services.

Since the business was established in 2019, Clear Start Accountants has provided financial
support for the masses. As well as offering accountancy services for sole traders and
smaller firms delivered by our dedicated team of qualified accountants, we also provide
pioneering, tech-enabled personal budgeting services for private individuals.

Of particular relevance in the current climate, we have helped countless consumers to make
considerable cost-savings with our vast suite of services, and with the assistance of our
bespoke software – a highly innovative programme available to customers via an app. We
have proudly supported individuals across the length and breadth of the country for over five
years with budgeting and financial planning, including tailored budgets based on income,
expenses and financial goals, with regular reviews of personal circumstances and income
checkups.

Additionally, assistance has been provided to help clients understand and prioritise their
liabilities, strategise their savings and maximise their incomes, with guidance on potential
benefit entitlements and applications. Bill and expense management has also been
facilitated, consisting of household bill comparisons, subscription and spending audits, and
lifestyle budgeting tips.

One customer shared their experience with Clear Start Accountants and said: “I have
dealt with many people in Clear Start over a few years and have always had a pleasant
experience. Today was no exception, as Jamal was a great help being efficient and
knowledgeable. We discussed multiple financial issues and he was able to provide great
service every step of the way.

“The company has helped me multiple times over the last few years, I’m very happy.”

A client who utilises our accountancy services added: “Clear Start Accountants and
Mubeen have been instrumental in simplifying my finances and guiding me through the Self-
Assessment process. Their professional advice and meticulous attention to detail have made
tax filing stress-free and efficient. Mubeen's expertise and personalised support ensured I
was always compliant while maximising my financial benefits. I can't recommend them highly
enough for anyone seeking reliable and knowledgeable accounting services."

Another also shared: “I am a medium-sized company owner and have been a client of
Clear Start Accountants for several years now. Their expertise, professionalism and attention
to detail has been very reassuring. Moreover, they have a wide knowledge of financial
topics. I could not be more satisfied with them, and have no hesitation in recommending
them for accounting services.”

Fiaz Ashraf, Founder and CEO of the AFA Group, commented: “We are exceptionally
proud to have supported countless consumers and small businesses to date with significant
cost-savings, with overwhelmingly positive feedback received. As the client base continues
to grow, we continue to expand our employee base, considerably enlarging the customer-
facing team to enable us to maintain the exceptional level of service provided.”

    Clear Start Accountants Expands Canadian Operation

    Clear Start Accountants is on target to achieve Canadian sales of over £550,000 this year following notable investment and subsequent growth in Canada. With international expansion being a major focus for the business, NW business entrepreneur Fiaz Ashraf, CEO of Clear Start Accountants opened Clear Start Debt and Budget Services LLC in Toronto in 2021. Following a recent investment of over one million Canadian Dollars by his company, Fiaz has expanded the operation there to a head count of 14 people. They are also currently recruiting for further roles to accommodate additional growth. The Canadian arm, similarly to the main UK operation, offers budgeting services to customers, to support clients in managing their outgoings, and offset the rapidly rising cost of living which is being experienced on a global scale. The notable growth of the business in Canada mirrors the significant success enjoyed by Clear Start Accountants UK business, which after establishing in only 2019 saw sales of £4.2 million in 2022. Commenting, Fiaz Ashraf, says: “We entered Canada only two years ago, and our unique monthly budget offering and bespoke client software devised here in the UK, is proving a roaring success. To enhance our offering further in Toronto, we have further ambitions to become a self-contained Insolvency practice over the next 12 months and, therefore have firm plans in place for further expansion.”
