Henry Engelsman

Henry Engelsman – DAP: Dedicated, Approachable and Professional

Henry Engelsman joined Accura Accountants in February 2019 and has since been helping SMEs across all sectors to grow and succeed. With a hands-on approach, he guides businesses through challenging growth phases, providing not just essential accounting and taxation advice, but also practical support on systems, finance, and overall business strategy.

Henry describes himself as a Financial GP. “Just like regular health checks with your GP, your business benefits from regular reviews with your accountant. Prevention is always better than cure,” he says.

He treats every client as equally important, no matter the size of their business or fee, and many of his largest clients have come through referrals from smaller ones. Henry always offers a no-cost, no-obligation first meeting and believes that good advice from an accountant should virtually pay for itself.

Smaller businesses often cannot afford a Financial Director, but the right guidance from an accountant can fill that gap. Henry challenges business owners to ask, “What does my accountant actually do for my business?” Compliance is just the start. With the right support, your accountant can add real value.

Henry invites you to discover alternative approaches that could make a tangible difference to your business. “Let me show you how small changes can have a big impact. You may be amazed,” he says.
