Animal Edge: From Sleepless Nights to Confidence & Growth
What began as a side project for Danielle soon grew into a thriving business. Around four years ago, she decided it was time to go all in and take it full-time. But that exciting leap quickly became stressful, as she found herself tangled in unresolved issues with HMRC.
A VAT discrepancy had dragged on for over 12 months. Her then accountant was unresponsive, blaming HMRC, while HMRC blamed the accountant. Danielle was stuck in the middle, with debts accumulating and no one taking ownership.
That’s exactly what he found in Kevin from Beansprout…
Client: Danielle, Animal Edge Farm
“I was in hell. I had sleepless nights, and genuinely started to wonder if I was cut out for this.”
When she asked her network for recommendations, Beansprout came highly recommended – and within days of reaching out, she had a meeting with Helen.
“Helen said she’d seen something similar before. She immediately made a plan, gave my current accountant a deadline to resolve things, and when they didn’t, she stepped in and took it off my plate.
Helen and the team liaised directly with HMRC, corrected the issue, agreed on a practical solution, and successfully removed all penalties, something Danielle never thought possible. What had been hanging over her for more than a year was sorted out in just six weeks. Danielle quickly went from receiving reactive support to proactive support, and the impact on both her and her business was palpable.
“They went above and beyond. It was more than I’d even hoped for. I finally felt like someone had my back.”
Now, with the stress lifted, Danielle could finally focus on moving her business forward. She now has monthly check-ins with Helen and Kevin, gets clear, proactive advice when needed, and has been introduced to trusted contacts to help shape her future business plans.
“With their support, I’ve gone from nearly giving up to planning for real, sustainable growth. I’m going Limited, I’ve switched to a better accounting system, and I feel much more in control.”
What stands out most for Danielle is the speed, empathy and clarity Bean Sprout brings.
“They reply within 24 hours. My old accountant used to take two weeks! I have support, know what’s happening, and feel confident making decisions.”
