Our Story

Virgate was founded in 2016 by Sarah Travell, initially focusing on bookkeeping and accountancy for the hospitality industry.

Since then, we’ve grown into a dynamic accounts team supporting SMEs across multiple industries throughout the UK — providing bookkeeping, accounting, payroll, and reporting services that adapt to different business models.

Our Vision

Virgate will be the go-to accounts team for UK SMEs. When a business outgrows a bookkeeper or accountant, or gets stuck with messy numbers, the first name they think of will be Virgate.

Our People

Behind every number is a person. Our UK-based team of accountants and bookkeepers give clients rapid responses, clear communication, and proactive support. We work under your company name – answering calls and managing your accounts inbox – so your suppliers and staff see us as part of your team.

We’re supported by a global back-office hub to ensure scale and reliability — giving you the flexibility of outsourcing with the responsiveness of an in-house accounts team.
