How We Work

Managing startup finances can be complex and time-consuming, but at Standen Accounting Solutions, we make it simple. We take the time to truly understand your business, analysing key areas such as financial categories, budgets, taxation, and documentation.

From the start, we work closely with you to identify any financial challenges your startup may be facing. Once we pinpoint the issues, we focus on practical solutions. We accurately record all transactions—expenses, income, and more—to provide clear insights into your profit and loss. Based on this financial data, we develop a strategic plan to help your business grow.

With expert knowledge and hands-on experience, we manage your accounts efficiently, allowing you to focus on what you do best—running your business. Our professional and approachable service ensures that you receive clear, actionable advice, not just numbers. Whether you’re in Chichester, Sussex, or anywhere across the UK, we’re here to help with flexible in-person and remote accounting support.

Meet The Founder

Hi, I’m Lee Standen, the face behind Standen Accounting Solutions. I’m an FMAAT-qualified accountant with nearly 20 years of experience, and before starting my own business, I worked as a Financial and Operations Manager for a multinational company.

I’ve seen first-hand the financial challenges businesses face, and I started this business to provide accessible, reliable, and no-nonsense accounting support to small businesses and sole traders. I believe in keeping things simple—no confusing jargon, no long waits for answers. Just straightforward, expert advice tailored to your business.

Whether you’re a sole trader in Chichester, a small business in Sussex, or even based elsewhere in the UK, I’m here to support you. Many of my clients appreciate the personal and approachable service I offer, and I take pride in building long-term relationships with the businesses I work with.
