What is akody?
When I started RJF, the goal was to focus on the startup world. However, over the years, we’ve been fortunate enough to attract clients from all walks of life. Thanks to the excellent service we provide, our clients have referred us to other business owners, and as a result, our client base has become wonderfully diverse. From dog groomers and barbers to international musicians and LA-based fashion brands setting up in the UK, we’ve been able to support a wide range of businesses.
Despite this variety, our core focus remains on the startup community. Over the years, we’ve gained deeper insights into what matters most to startup founders. This inspired us to create a dedicated business that prioritises startups, yet is still powered by RJF and its ethos of 5-star customer service and experience. Enter akody.
What does akody offer beyond RJF?
At akody, we offer startups affordable, bespoke solutions to help them grow from idea stage to being investment-ready. Our services encompass all areas of accounting, financial management, and investor preparation, allowing you to concentrate on scaling your business.

Thanks to Rob and the team at akody in getting our first accounts done and filed on time. We are extremely busy and didn’t have the time to have everything filed and ready. They pulled out all the stops. Great support. Thanks also to Rob for his advice and support especially in relation to various taxation scenarios, EIS and SEISS, other options and opportunities and regulations. Much appreciated.

I switched to akody because I needed an accountant who could also offer advice and insight into startup finance and tax related queries, not just deal with the compliance side. I’m extremely pleased I made the move because Rob and his team have been fantastic, always responsive and helpful. It’s clear Rob has a lot of experience and is passionate about startup finance and entrepreneurship. I’ve already referred another business owner to him and am happy to recommend akody.

We feel so supported and that you understand us and our business. It’s so refreshing. We really appreciate your help and advice and having that trust is so important to us, especially with what we’ve been through in the past. We know there is a long way to go, but we know with your help and guidance, we can keep on top of everything and move forward with both businesses with confidence.

To say that Rob and his team have changed my life is a bit of an understatement. I recently changed to akody accounting after receiving an abysmal service from my previous accountants for years that caused a certain amount of ire and anxiety every time I had to deal with expenses, file a VAT return or simply get needed advise. akody have not only managed to thrust me into modern era through automation of things that have traditionally been an excel nightmare but working with Rob and his team is like being held by a soft, fluffy cloud built on amazing customer service, proactiveness, years of experience and knowledge. Thank you akody!

The best accountants we've ever used! Efficient, well-informed, excellent communication and great at tax saving hints and tips. The text/email reminders to submit VAT and tax payments are amazing - we never miss a deadline! I can't recommend akody Accountants highly enough!

Working with Rob takes the stress out of my accounts so that I can focus on the job at hand without tying myself in knots. I've recently become VAT registered and he has made me feel so much more relaxed about the process, with clear conversations and great tools to get the job done.

I recently changed to akody from a very old fashioned, old school accountants who charged me the same price as akody for what I'd consider a very poor service. akody are super responsive and always on the end of the phone. Everything is digital and they help me with forecasting, managing expenses, invoicing, payroll and more. I haven't a clue how to do much of this myself and I feel very safe asking for advice from Rob's team as to what's best for my business. Very happy to recommend and don't think twice about changing your accountant if you're not happy - there are better providers out there!
