From the beginning

“As an entrepreneur, I know firsthand how small businesses are underserved by the traditional bookkeeper and accountant model – it can be expensive, slow and does not give the regular support a business owner needs to make better business decisions.

That’s why at Retinue, we aim to simplify and streamline business admin; report regularly on business performance; and strengthen the financial foundations of our small business clients, so they can focus on what truly matters”

— Steven Nicholson CEO, Retinue
