Sound familiar?

Your finances are messy, payroll is done last minute, and finances feel more like a burden of being in business

You have no clear picture of how the business is actually performing so you’re flying blind

You’re not sure if the government funding you receive is covering your costs or slowly draining the business

Your accountant only appears at year end so you’re left juggling the finances on top of everything else by yourself

You’re busier than ever but you’re not seeing this reflect in your bank account

You’ve put off raising your fees because you’re scared of losing families but you know you can’t keep absorbing rising costs

You want to hire, expand or open a second room but you don’t know if the business can genuinely afford it

If any of these feel uncomfortably familiar, you’re not alone. And it’s not your fault. Nobody has ever shown you which numbers to look at or what to do with them.

That’s exactly what we do.

Our Commitment to you

Why Choose Us

We understand nurseries.

The funding rate is set by your local authority, paid in arrears, and rarely covers your true cost of delivery. Staff ratio requirements mean you can’t simply cut your wage bill when costs rise. Income fluctuates dramatically across the year, September brings new starters but shorter settling-in sessions, summer brings holidays but your fixed costs don’t take a break. And one family giving notice removes significant monthly income with just four weeks warning.

A nursery isn’t like any other small business. And a generalist accountant isn’t equipped to help you navigate it.

We are.

Legacy Figures Accountancy works with nursery and preschool owners, so when we look at your numbers, we already understand the pressures behind them.

You get a finance partner who doesn’t need educating on your world, and who knows exactly which numbers to watch to keep your business healthy, compliant and growing.

Our partnership approach

What This Means For You

Business Clarity

You know exactly how your business is performing, what you’re making, where your money is going, what you have left, and how much tax you’ll owe.

Better Decisions

No more second guessing. Make confident decisions based on real numbers, knowing what you can afford and where to focus next.

Ongoing Support

You’re not left figuring things out alone. You have a proactive finance partner in your corner all year round, not just at year end.

Want to feel more in control of your finances?
