You didn't open a climbing gym to become an accountant

Does any of this sound familiar?

Working flat out, but not sure the gym pays you what it should?
Lying awake over cashflow, wondering if you'll make rent and payroll this month?
Never quite sure you're handling membership income and VAT the right way?
Spent big on your fit-out but don't know what you can actually claim back?
Got instructors and setters, and a nagging worry their status is wrong?
Stuck with an accountant who treats you like any other business and doesn't understand a climbing gym?

Getting the numbers wrong doesn't just cost money. It can cost you the community you've built.

The accountant who actually gets your world

Before I was an accountant, I trained as a mountaineer in the Indian Himalayas and spent years on the wall and on real rock. I even built a business in that world once. So I know a climbing gym isn't just a business with a wall in it. It's a community, and I know the pull of a place where everyone knows your name.

Then I qualified as an ACCA accountant and learned the numbers cold, the capital allowances, the membership income, the VAT, the cashflow that makes or breaks a gym. So you get both: someone who understands what you've built, and someone who can keep it standing.

Most accountants can offer you one of those. We're here to give you both, and to take the money worry off your plate for good.

What that looks like in practice

He wanted £150,000 a year. Now he's taking it.

One owner I worked with ran a multi-site group. He was already profitable, he just had no idea what the business could actually pay him. He told me the number he wanted, we built the pricing and the numbers around it, and he got there. £150,000 a year out of the business, a little over £9,000 a month in his pocket after tax.

That's the work. Not filing accounts. Finding out what your business can really do for you, then making it happen.

What that means for you

Keep more of what you earn

Margins protected, allowances claimed in full, and no tax paid that didn't need paying.

Decide with the numbers in front of you

Know which hours, products and sites make money, and what to change this month.

Get paid properly for building it

A gym strong enough to pay you what you actually want to take home.

Three ways to climb

Take as much or as little as you need. Start where you are, and move up as your gym grows. Each level builds on the one before it.

Basecamp

Never think about a deadline again

For the gym that wants compliance off its plate, permanently.

Every deadline met, every allowance claimed, nothing late and no letters from HMRC. Includes year-end accounts, corporation tax, bookkeeping, VAT returns and payroll.

Ascent

Know what's working, every quarter

For the gym that's tired of finding out how it did a year too late.

You'll know which hours, products and memberships make money, and what to change next. Everything in Basecamp, plus monthly bookkeeping, quarterly management accounts and a quarterly review.

Summit

A finance director without the salary

For the gym that's growing, and wants someone in its corner for every big call.

A number to run the gym on each month, forecasts that tell you when you can afford the next site, and someone to ring before any big decision. Everything in Ascent, plus monthly management accounts, a monthly review, cashflow forecasting and advice whenever you need it.

Not sure which fits? That's what the health check is for. We'll work it out on the call. Book yours free

You won't spend half the meeting explaining your business

The financial quirks of a climbing gym are specific. Speaking your language is the whole point of a specialist.

Membership income

Recognised properly over the term, so a healthy gym never looks broke on paper.

Wall & fit-out allowances

Capital allowances on a six-figure build, claimed in full and done right.

VAT on memberships

The single biggest trap in the sector, handled before it becomes a problem.

Instructors & setters

Employed or self-employed? Getting status right before HMRC ever asks.

And when you're ready to grow, we're here for that too, whether it's financing a second site, or one day selling up for the right price. From surviving the early years to thriving and beyond.

You hold the community together.
We hold the numbers together.
