Why should we use Calico?*

(*Oxford English Dictionary - Calico, a domestic cat that is white with mottled black, brown and orange patches) Just in case you were wondering!

We are a fully remote business so won’t be bothering you in your place of work (although we like to see you face to face too!).  We utilise as much tech as we can to simplify our work but even with the introduction of AI and automation, we realise the importance of investing in a human to look over things.  Unfortunately, AI and tech are not there just yet!!

We are fully regulated and monitored by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (registration number 5771633).  Our partners are also members of The Association of Accounting Technicians and The Institute of Internal Auditors.

Aside from the obvious experience we have in all things business, we have listened to what family, friends, colleagues and clients have said over the years when dealing with accountants/consultants/advisors and know what is important when choosing a business partner.

At Calico:-

  • We will communicate regularly

  • We will listen before advising

  • We will always respond to you

  • We will be transparent with our fees and services

  • We will give clear timelines

  • We will welcome feedback

  • We want you to succeed


Wooden blocks with the words "Our Core Values!" stacked, with a hand placing the top block.

But don’t take our word for it, this is what our clients say…

“Consuelo at Calico is an absolute joy to work with, not only delightful, but consistently thinking ahead, anticipating needs and addressing issues before they become problems. No challenge is too big or too small, great problem-solving skills, a proactive approach and meticulous attention to detail makes her invaluable to any organisation! ”

Serena Wallace-Turner, COO at Radiant Law Limited

“As Group Financial Controller, I had the privilege of working with Consuelo at Calico. Her wealth of experience and knowledge filled a critical gap in the team’s understanding of what "good" looks like. Consuelo worked with the team, sharing insights and guiding them through the  improvements that were needed. Thanks to her efforts, I was able to focus on other areas that required change.

I cannot recommend Calico enough—whether you're looking for expert advice or simply need an extra pair of hands and eyes.”

Michelle Kriel, GFC at Pricefx
