About SADLER & FROST LTD

Sadler & Frost is an accountancy and company secretarial practice in Wokingham. Company formations, year-end accounts, VAT, payroll, bookkeeping — the work every small business needs and most business owners dread. It sells well and our systems handle volume, so there's no ceiling on how many clients we can take.

Clients arrive by referral and word of mouth. Nobody has ever picked up the phone and gone hunting.
That's where you start. Where you finish is Lucibook.

The bigger prize is Lucibook, our sister company. It's cloud accounting software with a built-in reconciliation engine, and we're building a sales team around it — trade shows, industry events, visiting practices, bigger deals. You move onto that side once you properly understand accountancy, because you can't sell software to accountants until you know what accountants actually do.
That takes months, not weeks, and there's no shortcut. But it's the plan, it's why this role exists in this shape, and it's the reason to take it over a straight telesales job paying the same.
