Journeys that count.
We founded Sapphire8 because we believed that business leaders building something meaningful and sustainable need financial partnership that matches their vision.
We work with driven, purposeful businesses who see finance as a vital part of sustainable growth.
Our values — authentic, purposeful and collaborative — shape how we work and who we choose to work with.
Partnerships that count.
Sapphire8 was founded on the specific frustration that most finance support was built around the accountant's workflow, not the founder's needs. We knew that by prioritising partnership, we could increase impact in sectors that are making a difference in the world.
We are a female-led team, and that shapes how we work. We listen carefully, ask the questions that might be uncomfortable, and build long-lasting relationships that go beyond the numbers. The businesses we work best with are ambitious and thoughtful. They want a finance team who understands what they're trying to build — and is genuinely invested in helping them get there.
-
We want to build partnerships that last, and support you through all phases of your business.
Your growth in impact, and progression towards your own goals, is central to how we work with you.
-
We think that business leaders need support and honesty more than they need reassurance. We say what we see, even if it’s not always want you want to hear.
-
We believe in the positive impact business can have in the world, and we want to partner with business leaders who feel the same. We're selective about who we work with, because the best results come from partnerships where both sides are fully invested.
With you every step of the journey.
We've grown a team of accounting experts with nearly 100 years of combined experience across agencies, consultancies and professional services sectors. We’ve worked with businesses at every stage, from early-growth ambition to founder exit.
That breadth matters. Whether you are looking to grow your impact in your industry, your team, your profit or are growing towards acquisition or employee-ownership - we’ve seen most of the challenges you are facing.
