About The Client
Bigfoot Creative Limited is a fast-growing UK creative business, delivering large-scale creative production, branding and installation projects for major organisations including Sky and the Premier League.
As the business has continued to expand, its leadership team found that year-end accounts alone were no longer enough to support the pace and complexity of their growth. What they needed was real-time financial visibility, more robust forecasting capabilities and a finance partner with the commercial understanding to support them through sustained, ongoing growth. Enter Surrey Hills Accountancy and its accountancy solutions.
The Challenge
Operating within a fast-moving creative and production environment creates unique financial pressures. Projects are often high-value, timelines can shift quickly and supplier or installation costs may need to be committed to before client payments are received.
For Bigfoot, this meant cash flow visibility and accurate forecasting became critical to managing growth responsibly.
“One frustration was not always having timely financial information available in a format that supported quick and confident decision-making.”

The Solution
SHA’s relationship with Bigfoot Creative originally began several years ago, before expanding significantly over the past year.
Initially supporting the business with year-end accounts, SHA now operates as a far more embedded outsourced finance function, supporting the business across:
- Bookkeeping
- Billing & finance administration
- Month-end reporting
- Management reporting
- Cash flow management
- Forecasting support
- Year-end reviews
- Ongoing financial oversight
By maximising the capabilities of Xero, including advanced reporting and cash flow forecasting tools, SHA implemented reporting structures that provide clear visibility over profitability, cash flow and overall business performance.
The Results
- Improved cash flow forecasting and planning
- Greater visibility over profitability and business performance
- More accurate and meaningful management reporting
- Better-informed commercial and strategic decision-making
- Access to an experienced finance team without the cost of building an internal department
- A scalable finance function that grows alongside the business
“Reporting has improved enormously with SHA. We now have far better visibility over profitability, cash flow and overall business performance, helping support more informed and confident decision-making.”
Why This Matters
Rather than simply producing accounts, Surrey Hills Accountancy provides proactive financial insight, strategic guidance and operational support. This allows Bigfoot Creative’s leadership team to spend less time managing financial administration and more time focusing on clients, projects and growth.
“SHA don’t just provide numbers; they provide context, guidance and reassurance. They act as far more than accountant — they are trusted advisers and genuinely feel like an extension of our internal team.”
