Understand before advising.
We take time to learn about your company, its goals and the challenges you want to address. The service should fit the business rather than require it to fit a template.
ABOUT J. SOWDEN
Meet James Sowden.
A personal approach to digital finance, grounded in management accounting and an understanding of your business.
Finance expertise, with your business at the centre.
J. Sowden Digital Finance Function is owned and managed by James Sowden, a UK Chartered Management Accountant with over a decade of experience in accountancy and finance.
James works with small and medium-sized businesses, helping owners make better use of financial and management information. Experience across different industries provides a broad perspective on systems, processes and the decisions a growing company faces.
Our approach starts with understanding your business. We want to know how it operates, where its financial information comes from and what you need that information to help you decide.
How we work.
Good finance support depends on both the quality of the information and the relationship behind it.
Make information useful.
Financial reports should help answer questions. We focus on clear explanations and relevant information that can support practical management decisions.
Build a working relationship.
Professionalism, confidentiality and clear communication are central to how we work. We agree responsibilities and the support you can expect.
Digital delivery across the UK and from Cyprus.
Our UK office is at The Apex, Derriford Business Park, Plymouth. Our Cyprus office is at 37 Chysonera Rosemarine, Shop 15, 8574 Kissonerga, Pafos, Cyprus. Our online services cover the whole UK, including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We also support UK companies whose owners or teams are based in Cyprus.
Digital accounting makes it possible to collaborate through shared records and planned conversations. It gives us a way to stay connected to the business without making proximity to our office a condition of working together.

The right support for your stage of business.
Some companies need strategic finance insight through a virtual CFO. Others need a more organised finance function or regular management accounts. We also offer bookkeeping and Xero support where these fit the needs of the engagement.
Our initial consultation gives us a chance to understand what you need and explain the options. You can ask about scope, how we would work together and the information needed to put a proposal in place.
