Remarkable Practice Ltd

Paul Shrimpling

Paul Shrimpling's passion for the accountancy profession was forged in his experience of growing, from scratch, a £1m manufacturing business. The annual check-in with his accountant never dealt with the emotional roller coaster of running the business, expanding into Europe, Middle East and USA, buying a building, surviving two recessions, opening a London showroom, refinancing the business or eventually selling the business.

Paul has worked exclusively with accountants in practice for the last 20 years to humanise the numbers - challenging them to better connect themselves and their business clients to the numbers that really matter. Yes, it’s about the numbers, but it’s also about the people and how they feel about the numbers!

Paul continues to work exclusively with accountants in practice, humanising the numbers and challenging their status-quo, better connecting all the people in the firm so that the firm transforms their results.
