WHO WE HELP
We speak agency.
We don't try to be everything to everyone. Instead we're laser focussed on working with clients in the UK digital, media & creative industries.
01
Freelancer
The copywriter, the developer, the strategist. Day rates, IR35, MTD, limited company setup. You power the agencies we work with and you deserve an accountant who gets your world too.
02
Studio
Branding, design, video, photography, content. The creative world has its own financial quirks. We know how studios are structured, how projects are priced and where tax opportunities sit.
03
Agency
Marketing, PR, SEO, paid media. If you sell expertise and time to other businesses, we understand your model. Retainers, project fees, team costs. We’ve see it all before.

/ BEYOND THE PACKAGES
myVirtual
Finance Office.
For agencies punching through £1M, you’ll need more. But a full-time finance team is expensive and inflexible. myVFO gives you the best of both worlds.
Year End
Accounts & Tax.
Sometimes you just want a fast and compliant service to prepare and file your company year end accounts and tax return. Simply send us your paperwork and leave the rest to us.
WHY CORNEL
Not your father's accountant.
We built Cornel because freelancers and founders deserve better than a generalist accountant who asks AI what B2B is.
01
We know your world
Media, B2B, retainers, IR35, scope creep, director dividends. We speak agency, so have built our firm around them.
02
100% online
No office visits. No posting paper receipts. No jargon. We’re as agile as you are, so everything happens in real-time.
03
Fixed fees, always
You’ll never get a surprise invoice from us. Every package is a fixed pay monthly fee always agreed up-front.
04
Proactive, not reactive
We don’t wait for you to ask. We flag opportunities, flag risks and stay one step ahead – working with and for, you.
Worried about switching?
Changing accountants really is easy. And best of all, you don't need to lift a finger. We'll handle the entire process for you so sit back and relax.
Who said that?
