HQ Accountancy covers numerous types of accountancy, from Compliance Accountancy focusing on the legal regulations a business has to follow to Managed Accounts which focuses on the business and even Business advisory services focusing our efforts on growing your business for you.

HQ Accountancy are proud to be bringing accountants into the modern age. We are not like any other accounting agency, but instead pride ourselves in giving businesses year-round support to grow their business as a whole, from incoming payments to juggling invoices. HQ Accountancy Liverpool can help you stabilise your finances while allowing you to pave the path to success going forward.

The key differences are that an accounting agency provides more flexibility to scale services up or down as needed, access to a team of specialised experts across various accounting disciplines, and potentially greater cost-effectiveness compared to maintaining a full in-house accounting team, especially for small-to-medium businesses. Agencies can also offer a more objective, third-party perspective on a company’s finances.

The main benefits of using an accounting agency include access to seasoned professionals with deep expertise across tax, compliance, financial reporting, and advisory services; improved efficiency through leveraged technology and streamlined processes; and the ability to focus more on core business objectives by outsourcing accounting tasks to an external partner.

Lenka Torok

Lenka Torok

Tax Manager

What's Your Role At The Company, and What Do You Enjoy Most About It?

My name is Lenka Torok, I am mum of two beautiful daughters. My role at HQ is to provide financial and tax advice to both our personal and corporate customers, ensuring they maximise profit, minimise expenses and are compliant when submitting their tax returns.  I am a qualified accountant with 18 years’ experience. I am passionate about advising people and helping them navigate their way through their financial and tax affairs, which for many can be an extremely daunting experience.
 
However, I must be honest, and admit that despite growing up in north Slovakia, studying in Sydney, Australia and now living in Surrey, UK I am still yet to master the Liverpool accent. 

What's a fun fact about yourself that your colleagues might not know?

At the beginning of my career, I did some work experience at a magistrates court which involved going into prisons to take statements from defendants. Another fun fact is that I once met a black bear when holidaying in the Canadian Rockies – he was very rude though and when I waved at him, he didn’t wave back!

What is your most memorable project?

I enjoy most of the projects I’ve been involved in because preparing tax returns and sorting financial matters is like doing a jigsaw puzzle and collecting up all the missing pieces.

Outside of work, what are your hobbies or interests?

I used to be a junior professional cross-country skier, so I absolutely love skiing and all outdoor activities such as walking, climbing and open water swimming.

What's a piece of advice or motto you live by, both personally and professionally?

No matter how difficult the problem, there is always a solution!

What's a fun fact about yourself that your colleagues might not know?

That I’m a fully qualified beautician! I trained in lashes, spray tans, facials ( chemical peels, dermaplaning & high frequency ), nails & massages it was something I enjoy doing when I get a chance to do it.

Outside of work, what are your hobbies or interests?

If I’m not in work, I’m spending my days with my two children on days out making memories I enjoy long walks in Sefton park mainly it’s my little calm space also love a good book.

What's a piece of advice or motto you live by, both personally and professionally?

I can’t decide on one, but I have three favourites.

  • It is what it is.

Anna Pickstock

Accounts Clerk

What's Your Role At The Company, and What Do You Enjoy Most About It?

My current role at HQ accountancy is accounts clerk, working closely with senior members of the team to obtain knowledge and understanding of accountancy. I specifically work in VAT and accounts preparation. Alongside my role at HQ, I am fortunate to be on a journey to become a Chartered Accountant, attending college regularly to reach the desired title. I enjoy learning new things day to day and delving into different clients to understand the different needs of various industries.

What's a fun fact about yourself that your colleagues might not know?

I have played football for all three of the big teams across Merseyside – Everton, Liverpool and Tranmere. In that time, I did however break both of my ankles (luckily not at the same time). Surprisingly, I am also terrified of aeroplanes, despite the number of times I am on them!

Outside of work, what are your hobbies or interests?

Outside of work if you don’t find my head in a textbook around my exams, you will find me with my family and friends exploring new countries/cities, on some sort of outdoor adventure, in the gym or watching the football (Everton unfortunately).

What's a piece of advice or motto you live by, both personally and professionally?

Fail to plan, plan to fail – while juggling work, exams and life it is imperative that I plan and have structure in everything I do, both personally and professionally in order to succeed. I am also an advocate for the saying ‘life is too short’ – if you want to do something, just go and do it.

Dave Evans

Accounts Manager

What's Your Role At The Company, and What Do You Enjoy Most About It?

I have 35 years’ experience specialising in accounts production for a wide range of businesses, predominantly SME Companies where I can have the most impact, as that experience allows me to meet deadlines efficiently and effectively for business who don’t have their own accounts department.
I have gained a wealth experience with a number of local firms and have worked alongside Nick for the past 17 years before becoming his Accounts Manager at HQ Accountancy as we began the journey to build the new practice.

Outside of work, what are your hobbies or interests?

Away from the office I am a life long Liverpool supporter and enjoy following the club home, away and in Europe.
Nick Hughes

Nick Hughes

Managing Director & CEO

What's Your Role At The Company, and What Do You Enjoy Most About It?

I am the Managing Director & CEO of HQ Accountancy, as well as one of our Business Advisers and a Chartered Certified Accountant. That means all roads lead to me and the buck stops here!
What I enjoy is seeing first hand the positive impact we can have on our clients. I’m surrounded by an amazing team and, when they’re used in the right way, they can make a client’s life so much easier!

What's a fun fact about yourself that your colleagues might not know?

I did not set out to be an Accountant. When I left University with a Maths Degree, I wanted to work for the Ministry of Defence. So I filled in an application and sent it off, but took a temporary job in a local accountants in order to earn some money. 23 years later, I’m still waiting on hearing back from the MoD!

What's the most memorable or interesting project you've worked on here?

The most memorable & interesting project has been evolving HQ into a wider service provider and a modern practice. Yes, we provide Statutory Accounting services like we always did, but we’re now Business Advisers, using all of our expertise to guide clients on their business journey, we have a number of amazing strategic partners that provide a complementary service to our own and we’re pushing ahead on digital record keeping methods that will keep our clients compliant & make their lives easier!

Outside of work, what are your hobbies or interests?

For my sins, I’m a long suffering Evertonian, but the least said about that, the better. I’ve picked golf back up again recently, mainly because it’s safer & cheaper that getting a new motorbike. I have two kids who I spend a lot of my time with.

What's a piece of advice or motto you live by, both personally and professionally?

Anyone who knows me knows I love a cliché and I have a few favourites.
 
  • Profit’s not a dirty word.
  • If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got.
  • No amount of money ever bought a second of time.
