About Sophie

Not your average
accountant.

I'm Sophie. I've done ski seasons in Japan, worked on superyachts in the Mediterranean, and built this practice around my life — not the other way round.

I've spent over 10 years working in accounting — in offices, on boats, and now from Bristol. I understand the freelance life because I've lived it.

I set up Kismet Accounts to offer something different. Clear communication. Fair prices. No waffle. Available evenings and weekends via WhatsApp.

Common questions

Quick answers.

Depends on your profit, your risk appetite, and your plans. No one-size answer. We'll figure it out together — and I'll never push you into something pricier than you need.
However suits you. Email, WhatsApp, Xero, a pile of bank statements. We'll find a way that works — no total life reorganisation required.
It happens. Zero judgement. I'll help you catch up, tackle any penalties, and get you on track. Just get in touch — that's the hard bit done.
Yes — genuinely. A lot of accountants say this; here's what it actually means in practice:
  • Short messages, not essays — no walls of text
  • WhatsApp reminders before deadlines so nothing sneaks up on you
  • Bullet points, plain language, zero jargon
  • No rushing — we go at your pace
  • You won't be buried in paperwork or chased for 17 things at once
If tax has always felt overwhelming, that's not a you problem. It's how it's usually done. We'll make it different.
Drop me a message or a WhatsApp. We'll have a free 30-minute call. No commitment. I'll tell you what I think you need — even if that's not me.
