Stategic Numbers Support

Lolly Jar Accountancy has been an extension of our own team for 10 years now. Their expertise in managing the end-to-end financial requirements, holistically, for Bamboo Marketing and their dedication to delivering best in class stakeholder management on all levels has been the cornerstone of a very successful partnership. The team at Lolly Jar consistently go above and beyond to ensure that we are always a step ahead and on time with all our reporting and compliance needs. Working with Nicole and the Lolly Jar team, you know that they’re always there for you and that our best interests are always in mind – the passion that the team has for their work is exceptional. Lolly Jar Accountancy is a great cultural fit too, an important consideration to any small to medium creative agency like us.

Working with Lolly Jar has transformed the way we run our finance function.

When Lolly Jar came into our business, we were operating without the structure and real-time visibility we needed to properly manage a growing agency.

They led the transition from our robust yet far too manual ecosystem onto a fit-for-purpose industry finance system, which immediately brought much-needed structure, consistency, efficiency and automation, to deliver real-time analysis to our processes. This has significantly improved how we manage job-level financials, giving us far greater rigour and accountability across the business.

Beyond the systems implementation, the biggest value has come from the team supporting us day-to-day. With an assistant accountant, revenue manager, and finance manager working across our finance function, we now have a well-rounded and highly capable team embedded in our operations.

The finance manager in particular provides strong advisory support to our leadership team, helping us make better commercial decisions with confidence and clarity.

Lolly Jar has not just improved our finance function—they’ve become a trusted partner in how we run and grow our business.

Nic is more than just a financial specialist to her clients – she is their trusted guide and advisor. Her deep knowledge of creative industries businesses means she knows all the benefits to grab and pitfalls to avoid. Plus her practical, easy-to-understand manner makes her an essential partner for any business owner.

Nicole and her team are a pleasure to work with.  I have used Lolly Jar’s services many times over the past 10+ years at a variety of agencies.  The team are consistently well trained, knowledgeable and adaptable to the change in circumstances at each client.   They understand the agency model and are able to easily navigate the various systems and processes required to run an efficient finance function.  Nicole is my first point of contact if an agency needs any kind of finance help.
