Use your skills to make an impact

Thrive is a modern accounting practice, with an HQ in East Grinstead. We help tech founders from pre-seed phase through to series A funding fill the gaps in their finance system with specialised support.

If you’re organised, believe in business for good and a keen adopter of new technologies, you could be a fantastic new addition to our growing team.

I set up Thrive to offer an alternative to the commoditised, competitive and often disappointing, compliance-only service provided to small tech businesses. I’ve walked the miles in their shoes as a finance director in the advertising industry. Our clients deserve the best chance of succeeding at what they’re trying to achieve…”

Our Founding Principles

Make an impact

We perpetuate success by balancing people, the planet and profit.

We choose to work with nice humans. People who are excited about what they do, celebrate their team’s hard work and want to make a long-term positive impact. Our clients know paying it forward ultimately comes back, and they prove there doesn’t have to be a trade-off between purpose and profit. Thrive is proud to be a certified B-corp and part of the Million Tree Pledge. It’s our mission to show SMEs there’s a strong business case for taking care of the planet – and each other.

Tech-minded humans

Technology is an enabler of outcomes.

We’re firm believers in combining the human element with technology, particularly in accounting, to produce the most impressive outcome. Embracing technology means your business will progress in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and relevance, but it must work in seamless tandem with the human aspect. Financial insight gained from technology needs to be applied with context and empathy, delivered by real people. Smart tech frees us up from the repetitive work it’s so good at, allowing us to be the creative problem-solvers and deliver the best results.

Life-focused

We know what you prioritise changes from day to day.

Owning a successful business should enable you to live life on your own terms – not act as a restraint. We help our clients make space for their own wellness by removing the stress and time demands of accounting. No more sacrificing health, family or free time. Our team of dependable experts oversee your finances while you focus on what’s important. We also apply this mantra within our own team; they plan their workloads smartly and we give them the space to honour the important parts of their lives. Wellbeing will always come first, both for our clients and our team.

About Thrive

Thrive is a certified B-Corporation. We believe business for good is good for business.

We’re not a remote company, but we do work with a flexible attitude. Though we work to structured hours, there is scope for home-working on occasion and many of us have families. Hours can be agreed to fit around other life commitments such as school hours and even reduced hours during school holidays.
