The Accountant Refusing to Gatekeep Business Advice

In a profession often criticised for jargon, complexity and hidden costs, one Warwickshire accountant is changing the narrative and inviting business owners everywhere to benefit.

Rachael Chadwick-Harrison, Chartered Accountant and Managing Director of Chadwick Accountants and Bookkeepers Ltd, has become known not only for leading a multi-award-winning practice, but for championing something rare in the finance world, open access to knowledge. Through her podcast, FFS, For Finance’s Sake, she is giving away the kind of insight many would traditionally keep behind closed doors.

The Accountant Refusing to Gatekeep Business Advice

With more than 55 episodes available on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and Podbean, the show has quickly become a go-to resource for start-ups, scaling companies and established business owners who want clear, practical advice without the fluff.

At its core, the podcast was born from a frustration Rachael sees daily in her work, talented business owners overwhelmed by financial uncertainty, unsure who to trust and too intimidated to ask what they think are “basic” questions.

Her approach is simple, remove the fear, strip away the jargon and share what actually works.

Listeners can expect straight-talking episodes covering everything from VAT returns and bookkeeping basics to the tax traps that quietly cost growing businesses thousands. Cashflow, the silent pressure point behind many sleepless nights is tackled head-on with actionable strategies. There are expert insights into property investment structures, retirement planning for founders who have reinvested everything back into growth, and honest discussions about pricing mistakes that erode profit.

But what makes FFS different is that it goes beyond compliance. Rachael understands that businesses are built by people, not spreadsheets. Episodes explore recruitment challenges, HR pitfalls, leadership pressures and the emotional realities of entrepreneurship. Guest interviews feature entrepreneurs and industry experts sharing real lessons from setbacks, pivots and growth, not polished highlight reels.

Importantly, this isn’t theory. From her base in Bidford-on-Avon, Rachael leads a rapidly expanding firm supporting hundreds of businesses across the UK. The topics discussed reflect real client challenges and real-world solutions, positioning her not just as a commentator, but as a trusted authority actively shaping the businesses she advises.

For anyone launching, scaling, investing or planning their exit, FFS, For Finance’s Sake offers more than a podcast, it offers clarity, confidence and credible expertise.

And in a world where financial knowledge is often guarded, that might be exactly why it’s worth listening.
