Welcome to another episode of Accountant Success Secrets! This week, Mark Lee and Philippa Haynes sit down with Dave Sellick, the visionary behind Sidgrove, a purpose-led accounting practice and finance consultancy. Dave shares his journey from a tough start at PwC—right as Lehman Brothers crashed, no less—through years of soul-searching in founder-led businesses, all the way to creating his own innovative, one-man firm.
Tune in as we explore how Dave’s passion for creativity, technology, and wellbeing (he’s a yoga teacher and a DJ, after all) shapes his unique approach to accountancy. You’ll hear why he challenges traditional models, how he harnesses tools like Stream Deck and automation to redefine his workflow, and his mission to humanise accounting—both for himself and for his clients.
Plus, we chat about the value of small, values-driven practices, how personal happiness fuels professional success, and why Dave is opening up his methods to inspire other accountants. Whether you’re a seasoned practice owner or just starting out, you’ll find fresh ideas, honest reflections, and a few surprises in today’s conversation.
The Accountants' Success Secrets is sponsored by Pinnacle Global Group, a trusted outsourcing partner with over 100 clients in the UK and Ireland.
