Why Cypher

Helping our clients build better businesses through financial clarity

We’re proud of the fact that at Cypher, we do things a bit differently. We call it the Cypher Code.

Our team shares a vision for what a digital accountancy firm can, and should offer to entrepreneurs and business owners whatever growth stage their business is at.

We’ve also created a work environment where colleagues thrive, meaning we continue to produce work we’re proud of while offering unparalleled service to our clients.

We offer client astonishment as standard, but we are also the lifeboat you can call on, if you get that sinking feeling!

Why Cypher

We built Cypher on strong digital foundations

The awesome technology now available to us means we can streamline processes and automate the financial compliance tasks that otherwise take up both your and our valuable time.

So what do we do with the rest of our time?

Simple; we act as a complete outsourced finance team for our clients.

We become the strategic board level partner that is as integral to your business as your in-house team. We are the call they make first for advice – or to celebrate a big win.

Plus, we don’t do time-based billing models. They should have died out years ago. Instead, we create bespoke, value-based packages, where everything your business needs is included in a single monthly fee. And that includes regular advisory time, so as well as ensuring you meet your compliance obligations, collectively we can advise you on the best way to grow or scale your business.

Xero Gold Partners

Xero accountants in the heart of Oxfordshire

We built Cypher from the ground up to take advantage of the automation and insights that come with using Xero, so we only work with businesses that use Xero for their finances.

If you haven’t made the jump to the cloud just yet, we can help you plan and implement your Xero project. We’ll also train you and your team on how to use it properly – including all the automation tricks and tools we use in-house that will really get your finance function singing.

Our values

We hold ourselves and each other accountable to the Cypher team values. No compromises. No excuses. We believe standing by these core values means we’ll serve you better, so it’s the only way we work:

Working bravely

It takes bravery to be different. It’s because we’re brave that we can lead rather than follow. It took bravery to take the leap from a large, established practice to building Cypher, where we’re constantly challenging the status quo, and only work with clients who share our values.

Working honestly

Our success depends on our clients seeing us as trusted advisors, and that kind of relationship can’t exist without honesty – both in how we operate, and in our relationships. As a Cypher client, you’ll always have full transparency of everything we do for you and we’ll always take ownership of our actions and advice.

Working consistently

While we create tailored packages for our clients, we operate around a single set of processes that all of our team follow, all the time. This means we can streamline our workflow, and as a client you know that you’re going to get the same, great experience from us no matter what elements of your accounting we look after for you.

Working compassionately

We see our clients, and our staff, as the people that you are. No business exists without the very human faces behind it, and we built Cypher to help our clients, and our team, succeed. We treat others as we would want to be treated ourselves and never let “business” get in the way of being decent human beings.

Working digitally

We think tech-first in everything we do. We’re always open to innovation and adopting new technology if it offers a better alternative or solution to a problem. It’s easy for accountants to slip back to using Excel for everything – so we’ve build our internal systems and processes around key tools and software that mean we can do our jobs better, and more consistently.

We help business owners reduce stress, reclaim their time and make more profit.
