Director

Sam Hosegood

I founded the company back in 2012 having spent almost a decade working in the hospitality industry. I’ve always had an affinity for numbers and having taken a break from hospitality in October 2011 to travel the world for a few months, I decided to put my interest in accountancy to good use when I returned. The industry has changed a lot since the company was founded but I’ve always ensured we move with the times to continue to our help clients as much as possible. I’ve always been very active and you will often find me in the gym during my spare time or getting soaking wet and covered in mud while taking part in OCR events such as Tough Mudder.

After many years studying Chemistry, having held positions in the scientific and educational fields, I started my AAT qualifications in 2018 and traded in formulae for finances. Having developed a comprehensive knowledge of accounting and auditing principles over the last 2 years, I am now well equipped to meet the bookkeeping needs of clients across all industries. I love 90s boybands, and single handedly funding the UK’s biscuit industry.

I highly recommend Sam Hosegood and Big Fish Financial Services.

Not only have I known him personally for years but have had the opportunity to know him professionally too. His commitment and dedication to his work is above and beyond. I’ve used Big Fish Financial Services for almost a decade and I couldn’t be more grateful for the impeccable service that Sam has provided.

His knowledge is second to none.

Big Fish Financial Services have been a massive help to our organisation and a really cost effective solution to our bookkeeping and PAYE needs.

Sam is a pleasure to work with and always seems to have his finger on the pulse. He always turns up on schedule and is swift and accurate with my 3 companies’ accounts. He advised me to change from Sage to Xero, which has made a huge difference, allowing me to work quicker.  Nothing is too much trouble and he even replies to messages over the weekend.  You’d be hard-pressed to find a better, more efficient bookkeeper – highly recommended.

When my old accountant retired, I was feeling really anxious about who I could now trust to take on my accounts. Having and accountant isn’t just about getting someone to do your books for you, it’s about building a relationship with someone you know will do a good job in looking after the most important part of your business! I was so happy that Sam stepped in as my accountant, because I knew he would go above and beyond to make sure I felt my finances were in good hands. Sam understands that I am really busy, not just with running my business, but in my personal life too so he take on more for me than your average accountant would, to ease any stress I have around dealing with my money. Personable, reliable and professional, I would 100% recommend Sam and his team.
