MEMBER PROFILE

NAME: Nishi Patel COMPANY: N-Accounting JOB TITLE: Managing director

WHAT DOES YOUR ORGANISATION DO?

We take care of tax for growing small businesses and help them get the most out of their accounting software.

HOW DID IT ALL START?

I started out working in corporate finance but left as I wanted to do something that was more rewarding. I started N-Accounting to make a difference to people who needed our support.

WHAT’S YOUR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR?

Growing the business and building our team and client base.

WHAT KEEPS YOU AWAKE AT NIGHT?

Apart from my two-year-old daughter wanting to climb into our bed, I often worry about the challenges that small businesses face these days and especially the Government’s shift away from supporting smaller local firms.

WHAT HAS SURPRISED YOU MOST IN YOUR JOB?

The bond and friendships we’ve built with our customers and suppliers, it goes beyond anything I’ve experienced before.

WHAT’S THE BIGGEST RISK YOU’VE EVER TAKEN – AND DID IT WORK?

Quitting my job to start N-Accounting. It’s worked out very well for me.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE STARTING OUT?

Read The E-Myth and Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and then make a realistic plan.

WHICH BUSINESS PERSON DO YOU MOST ADMIRE?

There’s quite a few, with Elon Musk definitely at the top of the list. It comes down to his audacity and the fact he risked everything even after he’d already made enough to have a comfortable life.

WHAT EXCITING PROJECTS IS YOUR ORGANISATION WORKING ON?

We’ve got our tax planning software launch coming up, which will help business owners understand all of their upcoming tax bills for the next three years and how much to pay themselves.

WHAT MADE YOUR ORGANISATION JOIN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE CHAMBER?

I wanted to be part of a community of growing businesses that believe in creating local jobs and opportunities for hardworking people. We’ve got a member of our team networking and contributing to the Chamber publications.
