Bespoke end-to-end business accounting services & financial advisory that’s digitally driven and tailored to you.
What We Do
Virtual Bookkeeping
Driven by data and technology, you have all of the financial information you need in real time without the admin to get there.
Cloud Accounting
Providing expert advice on your finances, we work alongside you to optimise, streamline and excel so you can reach your business-wide goals with confidence.
Strategy For Creatives
Providing virtual FD and CFO support, we help you and your team solve business challenges and find solutions – whether that’s with cash flow management, budgeting, gap analysis, benchmarking, business strategy or diversifying your portfolio and revenue streams.
How it Works
We understand every business is different. We provide you with a bespoke solution that is tailored to the exact needs of your business now and flexible to adapt as your business grows in the future.
Our customised services and transparent, fixed pricing means that you can switch up or switch down the level of support you need, so you’re getting the right support and advice exactly when you need it. We charge based on the value you receive not by the hours it takes us to do that.
All our services are cloud based, digitally driven and virtually delivered.

What Our Customers Say
“Chatter was rapidly growing beyond the kind of startup where I as a founder could manage all of the day to day finances along with my other responsibilities. 4 years later and Nuvem 9 have become a key part of our everyday running. From facilitating day to day bookkeeping and processing, to providing monthly management accounts and strategic guidance they provide a practical, down to earth, friendly service all handled online with minimum fuss. And when a knotty problem needs unravelling or I need some advice on a new challenge they’re only a quick call or message away.”
Jon Davies
Partner at Chatter Communication

From managing the day to day bookkeeping, payroll and accounts right up to CFO level strategic advice and direction on matters of raising capital, property acquisition and tax. We really couldn’t do it without them!”

Frequently Asked Questions
My business is a start up. Can you help me with my accounts?
We support businesses who are just registering their companies (and we can support you in this) right up to international SME’s.
What does Management Accounts mean?
How do I know what accounting service or package is best for me?
This can change as and when you need different levels of service each month or on a project basis.
We make and collect payments multiple currencies, can you help?
Using a platform like TransferMate, you often have access to very competitive global currency exchange rates too.
Can I access my accounts whenever I need to?
We’ll set up your finance and accounting process so you can easily and quickly send us receipts and get monthly updates on your financial position. So whether you’re thinking about hiring new staff, renting new office space or kicking off a project, we’re on hand to help you find the way that’s best for you.
Our qualified bookkeeping team and chartered accountants work closely with you to make sure your reporting is accurate and supports your decisions as you move forward in your business.
Can I pay a fixed monthly amount?
All our packages take into account all foreseeable work for your monthly bookkeeping, accounting or project based needs.
We’ll give you a fixed fee, transparent and in advance of any working being done.
If you need any additional support later down the line, we’ll also agree this with you in advance.
In essence, we’ll never do any work without your approval on pricing and scope.
What do you do differently for Creative agencies?
We understand that as a service based business it is pivotal to success that your cash is looked after, your invoices are paid on time and your time in the business is not spent on the day to day accounting or bookkeeping, instead providing instant access to all the essential information as you need it.
We also work with your existing teams to ensure you’re getting the right support for your accounts, as well as advising on your internal processes so things run smoothly, giving you the space to work on what you love.
What do you charge?
We detail all of this at the start so we can give you a transparent, fixed pricing package for the ongoing or project work we support you with.
I’m using Xero. Are you Xero Accountants?
I’m not using Xero. Can you still do my accounts?
Can you help if I already have an accountant?
If you’re already working with an accountant or have any accounting in house, we’ll work along side your existing set up.
Some of our clients continue with their trusted local existing accountants for their bookkeeping and basic management accounts, and we work with them to provide your advanced reporting (on things like cash flow management, projections & budgets), or projects like EIS/SEIS, raising capital and R&D Tax Credits.
Can you look after all of my bank accounts?
We can do this as your sole accountant, or if you have accountant that’s locally based, we can work in partnership with them too.
