Modern accounting
Keeping a close watch on the financials
Even for small businesses, keeping a track of the finances through organised accounting is vital for healthy cashflow, understanding the fitness of the business and ensuring compliance. Business owners need clear information in order to make strategic decisions, and to do that they need well-organised, quality accounting records and support.
How we work
Our accounting team will work closely with you to understand your business, goals and future plans. We will organise your financial information so you can better understand your business and improve your strategic decision making.

Karen Dyer
Director
Karen has been based at our sister firm GKP since 2017 and in that time has helped expand both the firm’s team and client base, implementing new systems since the Foxley Kingham group acquired the business and welcoming the staff and clients from the Bedford branch of Keen Shay Keens into the Foxley Kingham family. During 2024 she joined the board at Foxley Kingham coming round full circle to where Karen completed her formal accountancy training with the firm.
Karen joined Foxley Kingham in 2005 as a trainee, progressing through the ranks until qualifying in 2016. She went on to specialise in Audit, but from an early stage in her career, expressed an interest in being more involved in managing both client relationships and the overall direction of her team and the wider business.
Karen’s client base covers all sectors ranging from small sole trade business to large multinational groups but her preferred work is helping clients to grow and develop their business, offering no nonsense straight forward advice.
Outside of work Karen spends her time with family, friends and her horse, Paddy.
