Mac x Accounting

A more personal approach to accounting

MAC X Group was founded in October 2024, with MAC X Accounting launching in October 2025 as part of a wider vision to offer something more than a traditional accountancy service.

The focus is and always has been on building strong relationships, giving straightforward advice, and supporting business owners in a way that actually makes a difference day to day.

The business is led by Mark, who previously worked as a Regional Managing Partner within a top 10 accountancy firm. He has built and grown a successful firm from the ground up and now leads MAC X, bringing years of experience working closely with owner-managed businesses.

Since launching, MAC X has grown quickly, building a team of six and achieving Xero Gold Partner status within just six months. It’s a strong reflection of our team’s experience, approach and focus.

Our team

We’re a growing team of experienced accountants and advisors who work closely with our clients throughout the year, not just at year end.

Long-term support

Looking for a more hands-on accountant?

Let’s have a conversation about how we can support you.

What makes us different?

Straightforward advice, proactive support and a focus on your business

We know that many business owners don’t just want their accounts filed. They want to understand what’s going on and feel confident about the decisions they’re making.

That’s why our approach is simple. Keep communication clear, avoid unnecessary jargon, and stay proactive rather than reactive.

Clients come to us because they want more than a once-a-year service. They want regular input, clear reporting, and someone they can rely on when they need advice.

We take the time to understand each business properly, so the support we give is relevant, practical and aligned with where you’re heading.

Our core values

How we work with our clients

We work with owner-managed businesses at different stages, from those just starting out to those growing and scaling.

Our role is to be a consistent point of support, helping you stay in control of your numbers and giving you the clarity you need to move your business forward.

Relationship First
We believe business works best when it’s personal. We take the time to understand people, not just numbers, so we can give advice that’s truly relevant and practical.

Clear & Simple

No jargon, no confusion. We make the complex simple, so you can make decisions with clarity and confidence.

Growth Mindset

We’re always learning, improving, and looking for smarter ways to help our clients and our team succeed.

Integrity Always

We do the right thing, even when no one’s watching. Honesty and transparency are at the heart of everything we do.

Team Spirit

We support, encourage, and celebrate each other. A thriving team means thriving clients.
