Bio
Jade Vokes BSc
James is an extremely knowledgeable and very approachable accountant who is able to work within any industry and region throughout the UK whilst still providing a personal approach. I would highly recommend James to help and take care of your accountancy needs.

After 30 years of military service I faced the reality of civilian life coupled with the excitement and trepidation of starting my own business. I needed to, not only understand, but also trust someone to maintain my accounts and give me the accurate and clear advise on financial matters. From the start it was clear that James was someone who could deliver, he was able to articulate the minefield of tax options in a calm and reassuring manner that left me in no doubt that my business was in the best hands possible. He is always on hand to address any concerns or issues as they arise and provides feedback and guidance on new regulations as required. Starting and maintaining a business is a full time and often stressful and challenging job and James and Rute are instrumental in reducing that burden for me. Regardless of your business size investing in Rute Accounting is a shrewd move and one which you will truly appreciate.

RUTE is a business established to provide business and strategic planning to businesses owners who do not have the luxury of their own in-house financial expertise and who would appreciate some additional support.Rute’s focus is on looking forward, working with you to plan what your business can achieve, rather than concentrating purely on what it has achieved in the past.Our philosophy is that the business exists to serve and achieve your goals and ambitions, not the other way round. To this end key elements of our strategy are: Clarifying what you wish to achieve through your business Identifying the Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) of the business so these can be tracked, measured and used to drive the business forward Identifying key risks to the business and devising ways of minimising exposure to these Reviewing and, where appropriate, revising business plans Identifying and assist in obtaining appropriate financing for the business Acting as an independent sounding board for you to bounce ideas offOur focus is on you, the business owner, and your personal aspirations, so first and foremost our advice is tailored to developing the business to achieve these.Rute only aims to work with a small number of businesses at any time which means we are able to work very closely with and dedicate more time to your business.We want to meet with you regularly throughout the year to provide you with proactive advice based on live data and what is happening in your business now, not data which is anything from 10-22 months old.One of the most important elements of our service is that it ensures you take time to think about and work on your business rather than working in it.Our goal is build long term relationships with our clients, being valued as a trusted adviser helping them realise the potential within their businesses and increase their wealth and happiness.
