We are excited to share that Gravitate Accounting has become an Associate Sponsor of Sheffield Digital. This new partnership reflects a shared commitment with our organisation and our members to innovation, efficiency, and technology-driven solutions. Gravitate is already establishing its position as a core provider in the city’s tech ecosystem, supporting tech companies to thrive – we look forward to seeing more!
Meet your accountancy match: an innovative, digital-first practice
Gravitate Accounting was founded during the digital transformation of accountancy. They specialise in helping businesses transition to digital accounting, working with world-class software providers to automate financial processes. This saves time and money while allowing businesses to focus on what they do best.
It’s no surprise that Gravitate already works with various members of Sheffield’s digital community, including Ferrio, Evoluted, Simoda, and The Curve. The new collaboration makes perfect sense as so many of our members share a mission to embrace automation and adopt new technologies to drive efficiency.
Sam Newton, Co-founder and Director at Gravitate Accounting, highlights the synergies:
“We are looking to work with companies that are adventurous with technology – areas such as AI, cloud technologies, and automation. People who are receptive to this and want to adopt technology within their finance functions, whether that be payroll, end-of-year accounts, forecasting, management information or the whole lot. Members of Sheffield Digital are forward-thinking and ambitious, so we think we’ll be a great fit.”
Making financial management smarter for scaling tech firms
One of Gravitate’s standout services is its Outsourced Finance Director, a solution designed for growing companies that need senior financial expertise but aren’t in a position to commit to a full-time hire at this level.
Gravitate’s outsourced model offers a cost-effective , low-risk alternative. Instead of hiring one individual, clients get access to a Squad – a team led by an experienced Client Finance Director, supported by a Finance Controller, Senior Digital Accountant, and other key team members. This team manages everything from year-end accounts to cash flow management, ensuring businesses receive expert financial support without the hefty overheads.
For companies curious about whether an Outsourced Finance Director is the right fit, Gravitate offers an interactive questionnaire to kick-start the process. Businesses can assess their needs and receive a free report, with Gravitate providing an honest recommendation – if they don’t need the service, they’ll say so. No upselling, no unnecessary services – just what’s best for the client.
Sheffield-focused with big ambitions
Gravitate Accounting is deeply invested in Sheffield and South Yorkshire. While its corporate finance division competes on a national level, its accountancy services remain closely focused on our region. The goal? To become the go-to accountancy firm for forward-thinking, scaling tech companies in Sheffield.
As Sam explains: “There’s a huge amount of value to being the best-known and most reputable firm in Sheffield. The experts in your field. That’s what we want.”
“Having worked in this area for a number of years now, I have seen firsthand the quality of startups in Sheffield, and it’s massively underrated. But there’s so much potential there to get behind and really show what Sheffield and South Yorkshire has to offer.”
Adding real value to the tech sector
The Gravitate team will be active members of our community – you’ll see them at events, engaging on Slack, and sharing insights on the blog. They value personal connections and encourage businesses to reach out directly to their directors via LinkedIn:
Sheffield’s digital businesses are ambitious, at the forefront of tech innovations, and receptive to change – just like Gravitate Accounting. The partnership with Sheffield Digital will bring even more value to our region’s growing tech sector.
