Bright Beany Accounting, a Nottinghamshire firm offering tech-enabled accountancy services, has landed £25,000 in funding via First Enterprise and the British Business Bank’s Start Up Loans scheme.
Launched by co-founders Max Polkey and Katy Dales, the business targets SMEs with a model built around automation, digital workflows, and scalable support. The funding is being used to strengthen back-office functions and build out marketing to reach a broader client base.
The firm’s proposition targets a growing market of businesses looking to reduce manual accounting processes, improve real-time financial visibility, and reduce compliance admin.
First Enterprise, a not-for-profit lender, backs early-stage ventures that struggle to secure mainstream finance. Its loan values range up to £150,000. Its focus remains supporting innovation and job creation across the Midlands and beyond.
