Gravitate Accounting is a modern and dynamic digital accountancy practice based in Sheffield. 

Since launching in 2019, Gravitate has combined cutting-edge technology and accounting innovation with decades of combined director experience to provide a service that is both reassuring and bold.

The service is built around three core principles:

• We collaborate: We work closely with our clients and form part of their team. By taking a deeper role with a smaller number of clients, we can provide greater value and more useful support.
• We automate: We help our clients get on board with the latest finance and accounting technology, saving them time, stress and money. We have a team of specialists in Xero, FreeAgent, QuickBooks and Sage.
• We optimise: We always look to optimise our clients’ tax position, ensuring they pay the right amount of tax. We then look at how you as directors and shareholders can extract these funds in a tax efficient way to maximise your position and that of your family members.

Our approach means saving clients time, money and stress with progressive approaches to finances and accounting, driven by automation and cloud computing. 

This approach helped Gravitate win Independent Firm of the Year (2024) and Team of the Year (2024 and 2025) at the Yorkshire Accountancy Awards.

Gravitate’s commitment to staying at the forefront of business finance makes them an ideal associate sponsor for Sheffield Digital, whose members are equally passionate about efficiency, automation and bold new ideas.

Relieving financial stress, and saving you time and money

Gravitate is a team of experienced accounting and finance specialists who offer a complete finance solution for SMEs and high growth businesses.

These solutions can be fully tailored to the specific needs of each client, from strategic financial leadership and strategy to bookkeeping, payroll and company secretarial.

Outsourced Finance Director – the finance team you don’t need to build yourself

One of Gravitate’s key services is the Outsourced Finance Director. A Finance Director brings enormous value to a growing business, but not every business actually needs one full time. Ambitious businesses are turning more-and-more to Outsourced FDs, who combine exceptional experience with greater flexibility.

This is a multi-faceted role, which includes: 

• Ensuring businesses are audit ready, with every transaction and policy in line with guidance.
• Improving revenue cycles and driving pricing decisions.
• Deploying automation to improve accounting functions.
• Producing Management Accounts to help leadership understand financial information and make better decisions.
• Assisting with fundraising/investment efforts, as well as ensuring businesses are transaction ready.

Sheffield Digital members are invited to try Gravitate’s free Outsourced FD suitability quiz, which includes a series of questions and insights into which areas the impact is likely to be greatest.
