About Us

At Dockwray, we never work to a one-size-fits-all model because every client is unique. We’re here to give you agency over your money, from sole traders to established businesses. We’ll look after the finances, allowing you to focus on what you do best.

With care and conversation, we get to know your business and give you financial peace of mind.

I like to see our clients grow — not just in a business sense but also in a personal sense, as they gain confidence in their financial management skills.

Many accounts are intimidating and at arm’s length; we’re not like that. We’re here to learn what success looks like to you and your business and help you develop the financial literacy to get there.

We’re interested in how our clients are doing, in both a business and a personal sense. We’re always around when clients need someone to bounce an idea off to help them reach an informed decision. We’ll help you identify growth opportunities and troubleshoot anything that’s getting in your way.

Our role in our clients’ businesses is freeing them to do more of what they’re good at. We have a vested interest in their success­ of course we do – but it’s more than that. It’s about doing what we’re good at, bringing that into a business, and seeing people’s confidence and financial skills improve.

“Since working with Gill, we have very clear systems and processes in place, which previously were quite ad hoc. This enables us to focus on business growth and development. Additionally, we now have somebody as part of our team who not only provides practical support but objective advice and scrutiny.”

At Dockwray, our team shares a professional curiosity about our clients’ work. When you work with us, we’re interested in what you do and what drives you.

I love to problem-solve. To help you succeed – I strive to understand your business and unravel your experiences with money so far – to get you on the path to success – whatever that looks like for you.

We can’t stand watching people get ripped off and having their money work against them. Ultimately, it’s about trust, and businesses, big or small, need a team behind them that’s approachable, patient, and has their best interest at heart.

Between the team and me, we’ve worked in many different industries, which gives us the perspective and experience to support clients across sectors.

“I wish my maths teacher at school had explained numbers like Nick does, I’m not sure if my business turnover has trebled or quadrupled since I’ve been with him and Gill. I do know I’m attracting new clients, my scary tax stuff is up-to-date ­– and I can sleep at night.”
