Most practice owners meet Practice Group because they're thinking about selling. But a sale is only one of the ways we work with owners — and often not the first. We're an operator-led group, not a passive investor, which means we run practices, deliver compliance and back office, and help owners build better firms every day. That capability is available to you whether or not you ever sell. Here's the full picture.
Bookkeeping & back office
Hand us the production and free your team for the work that pays. Through our own delivery business, Buzz, we run bookkeeping, accounts preparation, corporation and personal tax, VAT, payroll and company secretarial — white-label, in your name, to your standard. Review and sign-off stay with you; your clients never see the join. It's the fastest way to relieve a stretched team, protect margin, and create the capacity to grow or move up to advisory.
What we deliver
- Bookkeeping and management accounts
- Year-end accounts, corporation tax, personal tax and VAT
- Payroll and auto-enrolment
- Company secretarial — all white-label, to your standard

Become an advisor
Everyone says "move to advisory" — almost nobody explains where the time comes from. We solve the capacity problem by running your compliance back office in the background, so your best people can lead advisory relationships rather than key returns. You own the relationship and the thinking; we carry the delivery. It's how a firm moves up the value chain without burning out — and it makes the firm more valuable, too.

Optivo — a fractional COO for your firm
Optivo gives founder-led firms senior operating support on a simple monthly retainer — the operating discipline to run a calmer, more profitable, less founder-dependent practice, without the cost of a full-time hire. Weekly working sessions, a monthly operating review covering workflow, capacity, pricing and delivery, and a live operating plan your team actually owns.
Fiscora — a fractional FD for your firm
Fiscora turns your firm's own numbers into decisions — profitability by service line and client, pricing and fee recovery, cashflow, drawings and the handful of KPIs that tell you the firm is really working. It's led by Peter Allen, a career finance director and practice founder. Better numbers mean better decisions today — and a more valuable firm if you ever sell.

One group, one standard — powered by Buzz
All of our delivery runs through Buzz, our own in-house delivery business — owned and built by Practice Group, not a patchwork of outsourcers. Our teams sit across four locations, so work goes to wherever it's delivered best but always comes back in your name, to a single standard:
| Location | Region |
|---|---|
| London | England |
| Manchester | England |
| Ballymena | Northern Ireland |
| Pretoria | South Africa |
Why owners work with us
- Operators, not spectators. We run and improve practices for a living, so we understand yours from the inside.
- White-label and discreet. Your clients see your firm; we stay behind the scenes.
- Founder-led. You deal with the people who own the outcome, not a call centre.
- One partner, every stage. The rare group that can run your back office today and buy your practice tomorrow.
