ABOUT US
OUR STORY
How it all started
Our story begins back in 2015 in Taunton – at the kitchen desk of our founder, Matt Portt. But, since those hazy days, Matt has grown Portt & Co into the award-winning and international advisory firm it is today.
Because of these beginnings, we understand the wants and worries of micro to small-sized organisations better than most. Then, we relieve their stress by taking bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll and other concerns off their plate.
We’re really proud of what we offer, but we’re also determined to do it the right way. This means ignoring the old objection “…but that’s how it’s always been done!” and instead, building a like-minded community that recognises the need for change.
CO2 Emissions Reduced
IMPACT-FOCUSED
We’re passionate about creating a thriving future – for people and the planet. We joined the B Corp movement in 2022, and it provided us with an excellent foundation in responsible business. But as we’ve evolved, so has our mission and our ambition.
We’ve realigned our focus to tackle the most urgent issue of our time: the climate crisis. By providing high-quality carbon reporting, insights, and action, we’re helping small organisations take rapid and measurable steps toward a low-carbon future.
To hold ourselves to the highest environmental standards, we’re implementing an Environmental Management System and will achieve ISO 14001 certification in 2025.
VALUES-LED
Our work is led by our ethical guiding principles, including honesty, integrity and fairness.
We’re committed to a culture of transparency, empowerment, and positive change, and we collaborate with clients who share these values.
The team prioritise fair and sustainable practices, community engagement, development opportunities, and much more. But we know that reducing our own environmental impact isn’t enough. To give more than we take, we’ll need to bring the whole accounting community – and as many others as possible – with us. That’s why we’ll continue to share everything we’ve learned from our journey with other would-be changemakers.
ON A MISSION
We’re on a mission to lead change.
We’re challenging the status quo to protect our planet and deliver prosperity for current and future generations.
But we can’t do this alone. We’ll achieve this together by building a community that recognises the need for change, and supporting their journey with data from our world-class bookkeeping.
