Helping small business owners feel calm and confident with their finances

At Brush Up Accounting, we know that running a business isn’t always straightforward.

Keeping up with the finances can sometimes feel like the hardest part, but we’re here to change that.

Our goal is to help small business owners feel more in control of their accounts, more confident in their decisions, and more supported in their day-to-day work.

Hi, I’m Jana Ward, founder of Brush up Accounting, qualified Accountant and Xero Accredited Adviser.

I’ve always been fascinated by accounting – it’s like piecing together a complex puzzle that gives you a sneak peek into the future!I’m truly passionate about helping people achieve their biggest goals with ease. While running a business can be challenging, managing your finances doesn’t need to be one of the struggles.

Let’s make it simple and stress-free together!

A Friendly, Flexible Approach That Fits You

Led by Jana, Brush Up Accounting offers a thoughtful, down-to-earth alternative to the typical accountant experience. There’s no judgement here – just clear guidance, calm communication, and a service that works around the way you think and operate.

We understand that every business owner is different. That’s why we tailor the way we work together, whether that’s taking things one step at a time, using visuals to explain what’s happening, or creating systems that suit how your brain works best.

This naturally makes us a great fit for neurodivergent clients – especially those with ADHD – but it’s not about labels. It’s about making things feel less overwhelming, and more manageable, for anyone who needs it.

Who We Work With

Over time, we’ve become known for our work with:

• Creative professionals

• Dog breeders

• Landlords and property owners

But these are just sectors we understand well – not boxes we put people in. If you’re a small business owner who needs thoughtful, practical accounting support, you’re in the right place.

Your Accounting Partner That Grows With You

Whether you’re just starting out, feeling stuck, or growing fast, we meet you where you are.

Maybe you’ve been putting things off.

Maybe you’re not sure what to do next.

That’s OK.

We’ll work it out together, one step at a time.

We’re proud to support ambitious, independent business owners who want to feel more confident, capable, and in control of their finances, and their future.

Our Team Is Your Team

Our business is built for growth, not just compliance – and your should be, too.

Brush Up Accounting is growing too.

We’re investing in smarter systems, a more structured web presence, and stronger foundations so we can continue to support our clients with the same level of care, even as we scale.

We’re building something special here, and we’d love to be part of your journey too.
