Blue Peak Consulting

What Blue Peak Consulting does

Blue Peak Consulting Limited is a privately-held boutique professional services firm headquartered in Winnersh, Berkshire, United Kingdom, founded circa 2016 by Managing Partner Catherine Bond. The firm delivers three interconnected service silos — Tax Services (tax advice, Making Tax Digital support, EIS/SEIS), Accounting Services (bookkeeping, payroll, management accounts, annual accounts), and Business Advisory (new business setup, corporate finance, capital funding, due diligence, share plans) — primarily to UK small and medium-sized businesses, with secondary service to individuals and growth-stage companies preparing for exits. Revenue is generated on a fixed-fee professional services basis that scales with client needs, supplemented by payment plans for share plan implementations; the firm also operates under the Blue Peak Group umbrella alongside two wholly-owned sister companies, Blue Peak International Payments (FX and cross-border payments) and Blue Peak Cross Border Tax (specialist tax advisory for clients with Middle East financial interests, notably UAE and Saudi Arabia).

The firm employs between 11 and 50 professionals and reports over 500 clients served across its nine-year history. Distribution is consultative and direct, supported by a content-led marketing engine comprising a resource library, regular newsletter (with archived editions from May 2024 through February 2026), organic social presence on LinkedIn and Facebook, client referrals, and community engagement via its charity partnership with My Cancer My Choice. Technology is not a differentiator: the firm operates as a traditional professional services practice with no proprietary platform, API, or mobile application, and no disclosed AI or ML capabilities. The leadership team comprises Catherine Bond (Managing Partner, Big Four tax background), Mark Jones (Executive Director, military and capital-raise background), and Sam Elliott (Partner, with a remit covering technology implementation across the practice).
