Supporting Accountants and Their Clients on Energy

Over the past few months, we’ve had the opportunity to work closely with ICAEW across a number of initiatives including a webinar, podcast, insights content, and upcoming contributions to their member communications.

For us, this isn’t just about visibility. It's about helping Accountants better support their clients in an area that continues to create risk, cost pressure, and complexity - energy.

Why This Matters for Accountants

Energy has become a more regular talking point between accountants and their clients.

Whether it’s:

  • Rising and volatile costs

  • Contract risk and supplier behaviour

  • Billing errors and legacy issues

  • Or wider sustainability pressures

Clients are increasingly looking to their Accountant for guidance.

The challenge is that energy is a specialist area. And getting it wrong, or pointing a client in the wrong direction, carries risk.

That’s where we come in. 

Advice you can trust

Our work with ICAEW has been focused on making energy more accessible and understandable for Accountants so they can be confident in how they advise their clients.

That means:

  • Breaking down how energy contracts really work

  • Highlighting common pitfalls we see in the market

  • Sharing real examples of where businesses have been exposed to unnecessary cost or risk

  • Providing clear, practical guidance accountants can use in conversations with clients

Built on trust, not transactions

The energy market is crowded, and not always in a good way.

Many businesses have had poor experiences with:

  • Transactional brokers

  • Opaque pricing

  • Contracts that don’t stand up over time

This is often where Accountants step in to help and where we’re typically introduced.

Our role is straightforward:

  • Provide clear, senior-led advice

  • Take ownership of issues end-to-end

  • And build long-term relationships, not one-off transactions

Supporting your clients, an energy partner you can trust

Working with us, you can be confident you’re working with a partner who:

  • Represents you well in front of your clients

  • Communicates clearly and professionally at every stage

  • Takes ownership of issues, rather than passing them on

  • And protects the trust you’ve built over time

That’s how we approach every relationship.

We work alongside you, as a trusted extension of your service,  ensuring your clients receive clear, senior-led advice, while your reputation remains firmly protected.

Looking ahead

We’re pleased to have worked with ICAEW and contributed to the conversation around energy.

We’re continuing to build relationships with accountancy firms who want a dependable energy partner they can introduce to their clients with confidence.

If energy is becoming a more frequent topic with your clients or you’ve seen situations where additional support would have helped, we’re always happy to talk it through
