ABACUS BUSINESS CONSULTING LIMITED
Company number 04327619 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Abacus Business Consulting is a long-established but financially fragile micro-practice operating at the lower end of the UK accountancy sector. While 2024 shows modest profit improvement (£1,547 retained earnings growth), the near-zero cash position of £731—down 96.8% from 2021 levels—combined with a debt-to-equity ratio exceeding 5:1, presents significant liquidity risk. The practice functions as a lifestyle business with minimal reinvestment, and its competitive position depends almost entirely on the personal relationships of its two directors, with no evident succession planning or capital reserves to buffer against sector disruption from Making Tax Digital, fee compression, and regulatory cost increases.
