More Than Just Numbers – We Bring Purpose to Your Finances

We combine precision, care, and a personal approach to give you clarity, confidence, and control over your finances.

Our Story

No suits, no jargon – just down-to-earth support.

JRCo. has one clear purpose: to help small businesses and accountancy firms take the stress out of managing finances.

Founded by Joe Roughton, his route to accountancy was anything but typical. A former musician and teacher, he understands the value of being approachable and connecting with people. His passion lies in making financial management less daunting, more human, and genuinely helpful – because behind every set of numbers are real people and ambitions.

From meticulous bookkeeping to strategic financial guidance, we treat your business like it’s our own, taking care of the details so you can focus on what matters most.

Our Vision

To make financial clarity and confidence the foundation of every business – helping them make informed decisions, navigate financial challenges, and achieve lasting success.

What Makes Us Different

We build partnerships that last, supporting you at every stage of your journey. Here’s how we do it:

You’ll get a neat and up-to-date set of books with JRCo.

Your accounts are handled with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring everything is exact and in perfect order. Unlike others who might not be finance experts, we manage your payroll and bookkeeping with precision, reducing errors and compliance risks.

Expect us to get involved.

We enjoy working with people, so we take the time to sit down with you, listen to your needs, and explain financial concepts in a clear, accessible way, making sure you feel supported and understood throughout the process.

You won’t be left in the dark.

We provide open, honest, and responsive communication. We’re always present, reachable, and ready to answer your questions, so you’ll always know where you stand.

Bringing purpose to business finances.

Your business is more than just figures on a spreadsheet, and bookkeeping is more than just a technical exercise. JRCo. brings real-life meaning to financial data, helping you understand your numbers and how they impact your business growth and making financial insights relevant and actionable.

We’re your partner for the long haul.

For small businesses, we can start with your bookkeeping and evolve to provide strategic financial support, guiding you through every stage of growth. For accountants, JR Ledgers will be a trusted extension of your team.

As your business grows and succeeds, so does ours.

JRCo. believes in creating a win-win relationship with clients. We are committed to helping you reach your goals, knowing that mutual success is the foundation of a strong partnership.

We complement the work of our accountant partners.

We believe in working alongside accountancy firms as a true partner, respecting and valuing the expertise they bring to their clients. Our role is to support that expertise so they can provide a complete service to their clients.

JRCo. is about more than crunching numbers. It’s about helping business owners use those numbers to really understand where their business is at and then plan and bring about growth.
