About Us: Behind The Numbers

ABK Director Nigel Grayson-Thorne


Welcome to the About Us section of our web page. ABK Cloud Accounting was incorporated by Director Nigel Grayson-Thorne. The business  evolved from Acorn Bookkeeping Services, established in 1991.

Is this you?

  • Are you overwhelmed by meaningless data and reams of numbers?
  • Do you dread looking at the financial reports?
  • Is your payroll process out of date, error ridden and painful?
  • Do your customers and suppliers treat you like an interest free overdraft?
  • Are your management accounts creating chaos, confusion, and headaches?
  • Are you losing faith, confidence, and control of the financial side of your business?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, it does not have to be like that and there is a better way.

Is this what you are looking for?

  • Clear, concise and impact filled data that speaks volumes.
  • Financial reports you can understand and rely on.
  • Cloud based paperless and efficient payroll.
  • Excellent relationships with customers and suppliers built on trust.
  • Management accounts that cut through the noise and highlight the key performance issues.
  • Peace of mind and the clarity you need to drive your business forward.
