Katy Priestley

Hello, I’m Katy – Cloud Accounting Wizard 🧙‍♀️

For over a decade, I’ve been empowering small and medium-sized businesses to master their finances through cloud technology. My journey includes eight years at a top 30 UK accounting firm, where I launched and led a specialised outsourcing team, revolutionising how businesses handle their accounts.

As a former AAT lecturer, I don’t just understand numbers – I excel (see what I did there) at making them make sense for others. Since 2014, I’ve been transforming how SMEs approach their finances, moving beyond traditional accounting to create strategic partnerships with my clients.

What sets me apart?
If you’re looking for an accountant who only emerges from their cave once a year clutching a set of accounts, I’m not for you.

But if you want someone who’ll be as invested in your business as you are – someone who’ll celebrate your wins, help navigate the tough bits, and occasionally crack a tax-related joke – then we might just be a perfect match.

My philosophy is simple: when you invest in Shapes, we invest right back in you. Think of me as the unexpected addition to your team who actually makes finances fun. (Yes, I said fun. No, I’m not joking.)
