Global giant calls on Tyneside firm’s expertise

A FAST-GROWING accountancy firm has expanded and rebranded to keep up with the demand for its services in the digital sector.

Blu Sky Accountants, based in North Shields, has expanded its team from three to seven after a merge with Wearside accountancy outfit Red Sky Bookkeeping last year, which saw its founder Susan Lang join Blu Sky.

The merge has played a major role in the group’s success in recent months and the company is now targeting a number of new opportunities across Tyneside, largely in the digital sector.

The company, which was chosen by software giant Sage as the first in the world to test its latest product Sage One, has also implemented a new website which provides a secure area for clients information and has numerous other useful features such as calculators, news feeds and a link to twitter.

Jon Dudgeon, partner at Blu Sky, said: “In some states of America it is illegal to send bank details via email as they are not secure. As a forward thinking firm we can see that happening here, so we’ve implemented the new secure area, which has the added advantage of being somewhere clients can upload their own documents to.

“We’re really happy with the progress we’ve made in a competitive environment, not only have we very recently welcomed two new employees to the team we’ve also freshened our look with the ‘think Blu Sky’ brand and have been nominated for the NE accountancy awards.

“Now that our team and new brand is in place we are looking to concentrate on continuing to provide a quality, personal service to our growing client base.”
