ABOUT BJORGVIN VIGFUSSON · HEIGHTS ACCOUNTANCY
The accountant behind Heights Accountancy
9 years working inside businesses as a finance leader. Founded Heights in 2024 to give small business owners and property investors the kind of financial thinking that was previously only available to larger companies.
THE STORY
From finance leader to founder
THE BACKGROUND
9 years inside businesses - not just filing for them
Before founding Heights, I spent nearly a decade working closely with business owners and senior decision-makers across a range of industries. That meant improving financial processes, leading company restructures, driving profit improvement programmes, supporting new product launches and building board-level reporting that actually got used.
2024 - HEIGHTS ACCOUNTANCY
Founded to close that gap
I founded Heights Accountancy in late 2024 to provide something different - an accountant who works hands-on with clients, acts as a genuine finance partner and goes well beyond compliance. Not just filing returns, but helping business owners gain real clarity, make better decisions and grow with confidence.
THE GAP
Most small businesses were getting compliance - not clarity
What I kept seeing was the same problem. Small business owners were receiving year-end accounts and a tax return - but no meaningful financial insight. No cashflow visibility. No proactive tax planning. No one helping them understand what their numbers actually meant or what to do about them.
THE MISSION
Take the stress out of the numbers
Every client engagement is built around one goal: giving you the financial clarity and confidence to run your business - and your property - without the numbers feeling like a burden. Whether that means acting as your outsourced CFO, handling your property accounts or planning your tax position year-round, the aim is the same.
HOW WE WORK
What clients can expect
Heights isn't a factory. Every client gets senior-led support and a service built around their specific situation.
Senior-led from day one
Every client relationship is led by Bjorgvin personally. You'll always have direct access to a qualified, experienced finance professional — not just at onboarding, but throughout the engagement.
Proactive - not reactive
We don't wait for year-end to have financial conversations. Tax planning, cashflow and key decisions are discussed throughout the year - not after the fact.
Fixed fees - agreed upfront
No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Your fee is agreed on the discovery call based on what you actually need. No minimum contract.
Business & property - or both
Most accountants specialise in one or the other. We advise across both, which means better decisions when your business and property interests overlap.
Plain English — always
Finance shouldn't feel intimidating. We explain things clearly, without jargon, so you always understand what's happening and why it matters.
Commercially minded
Our background is in commercial finance, not just compliance. We think about your numbers the way a Finance Director would - in terms of what they mean for the business.
