Fernside Accounting was founded with a clear mission: give micro businesses and growing SMEs the kind of personalised, modern accounting support normally reserved for larger firms. Based in Woodford Green, founded by Fahmina Jahan — an IAB-qualified accountant with a passion for getting the basics right.
No obligation. Tell us where you are, where you want to be, and we’ll tell you honestly if we’re a fit.
Within 24 hours of our call you’ll have a clear, fixed monthly quote — no hourly billing, no surprise bills.
If you’re moving from another accountant we handle the entire handover — agent authorisation, records, the lot — in 14 days.
Specialist tax expertise
Most local accounting firms try to do everything themselves. We don’t. For complex tax work — R&D claims, restructuring, EIS/SEIS, international, complex CGT — we escalate to our sister firm The Tax Lead, Chartered Certified Accountants and Chartered Tax Advisers based in the City of London. You get the right expertise, at the right price, without having to find a second firm yourself.

Fernside Accounting is a new practice — we don't have a wall of testimonials and we won't pretend otherwise. What we do have is a founder who is IAB qualified, a sister firm of Chartered Tax Advisers to escalate complex work to, and a deliberate decision to start small so every early client gets proper attention. Here's what we commit to.
When you contact Fernside, you reach Fahmina directly. Not a junior, not a queue. As a small practice we choose to stay small enough that the founder still answers the phone.
Three productised packages — £45, £125, £350 per month — published on this site, not buried behind a "request a quote" form. You'll know within 24 hours of our call exactly what you'll pay.
If your situation needs Chartered Tax expertise — R&D claims, restructuring, EIS/SEIS, HMRC investigations — we don't bluff it. We hand off to our sister firm The Tax Lead and you get the right specialist at the right price.
Monthly fees, monthly notice. If you ever want to leave, we don't make it hard. We're confident enough in the service to bet on retention through quality, not lock-in.
No glossy testimonials. No paid endorsements. Just an honest invitation: book a free 20-minute call, and judge us on the conversation. If it's a fit, you'll know. If it isn't, you'll have spent 20 minutes getting a clearer view of your own tax position either way.
