More About BB Harrison

Proud to be unique.

Proud to be celebrated for our curiosity and professionalism.

Proud of the difference we make to businesses’ fortunes and people’s lives.

Teamwork makes the dream work. So, tell us your dream…

In 2003, BB Harrison set up and quickly established itself as a holistic accountancy practice in Essex. Managing Director Bambi Harrison’s hand-picked, qualified team includes other logical thinkers and problem solvers, exit planners, bookkeepers and more.

We serve businesses in Essex, its surrounding counties, or wherever you are. We also work with charities in our community, focusing principally on homelessness, sport and the Church.

We just didn’t see any point in giving the world what it already has. So, we decided to follow our hearts, our instincts, that voice inside that said: “People need accountancy advice and business support, but they’re human beings before they’re business people, and human nature can be fragile.”

Whether you’re a Sole Trader, in a Partnership, a Limited Company/SME, or a big business set to get even bigger, the reality is that there can be a lot of anxiety around being in the UK business world. Sure, there’s the excitement of starting out, making your first sale, growing, and maybe even winning business awards; but there’s also pressure. And, in our vast experience, we’ve learnt that it’s handling the financial side that brings the most pressure. Companies consistently fall into the same traps, getting stuck in a rut with processes that don’t work; but they don’t know how to change.

Finding this website is your first step towards breaking free from all that.

Now, entirely without obligation, take that second step!

The Team

Bambi Harrison

Managing
Director

Bambi Harrison

A logical thinker and creative problem solver with a knack for numbers.

Bambi built her career in accountancy through her own proactive curiosity, refusing to shy away from the important questions. This curiosity has never left. After nearly two decades in the industry, and establishing a successful practice, she still approaches every opportunity as one for new learning and growth.

Her career as an accountant has been varied and taken her in a number of directions. Yet wherever she has been, the narrative remains; companies consistently falling into the same traps. Stuck in a rut with processes that don’t work but that they don’t know how to change.

Hence the set-up of BB Harrison, to bring new life and a fresh perspective to accountancy and reporting. As a holistic accountancy practice, to go beyond the numbers to decipher the bigger picture. That means not just look at what your company is doing now, but focusing on getting you where you want to be.
