    Gable Asset Finance – Supporting the Growth of Accountants and Audit Practices

    At Gable Asset Finance, we are proud to provide tailored funding solutions designed specifically for the needs of accountancy practices, audit firms, and financial service providers. We understand that accountants and auditors face unique challenges – from meeting regulatory demands and managing seasonal cash flow to funding staff expansion, office upgrades, or acquiring new technology. With our expertise in business finance, we help firms secure the funding they need to grow, remain competitive, and achieve long-term success.

    Whether you are a small independent practice, a mid-tier firm, or part of a larger professional services network, we can design a finance solution that works for you. Our flexible funding packages ensure that your practice has access to capital without compromising on stability or future planning.


    Why Accountancy Practices Need Specialist Finance

    Running an accountancy practice requires balancing client demands, compliance obligations, and strategic growth. Unlike many businesses, accountancy firms often experience uneven revenue streams – with peaks around the self-assessment deadline, VAT quarters, and corporation tax deadlines. This can create short-term cash flow pressures, even when a practice is profitable overall. Finance can help:

    • Manage Cash Flow: Smooth out seasonal income fluctuations and ensure salaries, rent, and bills are always covered.
    • Fund Growth: Recruit new staff, invest in marketing, or expand your practice into new regions.
    • Cover Tax and VAT Bills: Spread the cost of HMRC liabilities to avoid pressure on working capital.
    • Invest in Technology: Finance software, IT infrastructure, and digital compliance tools to keep your practice competitive.
    • Support Mergers & Acquisitions: Secure finance to acquire or merge with another practice.
    • Mitigate Risk: Spread the cost of professional indemnity insurance and regulatory cover.

    Finance Products Available for Accountancy Practices

    1. Unsecured Practice Loans

    Unsecured loans give your practice access to capital without needing to pledge assets as security. These loans can be used for working capital, expansion, hiring, or covering unexpected expenses. With flexible repayment terms, unsecured loans provide a straightforward way to fund your business without tying up property or equipment.

    2. VAT Funding

    Quarterly VAT bills can put strain on cash reserves. VAT funding solutions allow you to spread the cost of VAT liabilities into manageable monthly instalments, ensuring you maintain cash flow for salaries, investments, and day-to-day operations.

    3. Tax Funding

    Tax deadlines, especially corporation tax and self-assessment, can be a burden on cash flow. With tax funding, your firm can spread the cost of HMRC liabilities, avoiding large one-off payments and keeping working capital available for growth.

    4. Professional Indemnity Insurance Funding

    Professional indemnity insurance is a regulatory requirement for accountancy practices. Instead of paying a large annual premium upfront, we offer funding solutions that spread the cost into regular instalments. This helps firms budget effectively and avoid unnecessary financial pressure.

    5. Equipment Finance

    Modern accountancy requires investment in computers, servers, IT systems, and practice management software. Equipment finance spreads the cost of essential tools, ensuring your team has the resources they need without a heavy upfront cost. Options include leasing, hire purchase, or asset finance arrangements tailored to your practice.

    6. Sale and Leaseback

    If your firm owns valuable assets, such as IT equipment or office furniture, sale and leaseback arrangements release tied-up capital back into your business. This allows you to maintain use of the assets while freeing cash for growth, acquisitions, or cash flow management.

    7. Factoring & Invoice Discounting

    Many accountancy practices extend credit terms to clients, creating a gap between issuing invoices and receiving payments. Factoring and invoice discounting solutions unlock cash tied up in unpaid invoices, ensuring consistent working capital while you wait for client payments.

    8. Commercial Loans

    Commercial loans provide flexible, medium- to long-term funding for larger projects. These could include opening new offices, refurbishing premises, expanding service offerings, or investing in technology. We work with a panel of lenders to find the right commercial loan structure for your practice.
