HOME-GROWN COVENTRY ACCOUNTANCY FIRM MOVES INTO FIRST PERMANENT OFFICE
21/09/2023
An accounting firm which began on the owner’s kitchen table is celebrating new growth after moving into its first permanent premises.
Coventry based Energise Accountancy Solutions was founded by Sharan Kalsi in May 2020 following 17 years working as an accountant at FTSE 100 companies, including international technology company IBM and energy company E.ON.
Sharan’s business provides bookkeeping, cashflow management and accounting services to small and medium sized businesses across Coventry and Warwickshire and moved into its first office premises at Enterprise House in Coventry in a deal negotiated by Holt Commercial.
The business also provides interim or outsourced finance director services with a specialism in private equity backed organisations, with clients based in London, Birmingham, Coventry and Warwickshire.
The idea for the company began on Sharan’s kitchen table after she spotted a gap in the accounting market targeting small and medium sized organisations, which needed the same support and expertise without the high expense of an in-house team.
The business initially operated on a hybrid basis using hot desks at a local co-working space, but began looking for a permanent in-person base for the business in September 2022.
Its office at Enterprise House gives the company both the space and flexibility it wanted to support business growth and the teamwork with SMEs across a range of industries including retail, biotech manufacturing and ecommerce.
Sharan said “We are delighted to have successfully moved into our first premises and are really thrilled about the potential of our new corporate office in helping to enhance our client services and grow Energise Accounting Services.
Moving into the office has given us the flexibility to offer both in person and virtual consultations, with easy access in a great Coventry location which is convenient for both our clients and our team.
Enterprise House is located on Foleshill Road in Coventry and is owned by Coventry City Council.
Enterprise House offers well-appointed office space in a multi-tenanted building with manned onsite reception, and communal facilities such as conference and meeting room space together with kitchen areas and good on-site parking provision.
Ross Bendall, Senior Surveyor at Holt Commercial, let the space to Energise on behalf of the City Council.
Sharan added “Ross was a great sounding board during our search. He was very responsive in listening to our needs, assessing whether spaces were right for us and helping us find the perfect base at Enterprise House.”
Ross said “We are delighted to have helped Sharan and the team make the successful move into their first official office.
The company offers a great service to small and medium sized businesses in the region, and its move demonstrates an excellent use of space on the edge of Coventry’s city centre.”
