Tracy shortlisted in LDC and The Telegraph's Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders

Our ambition, commitment to innovation and care for customers has made us the fastest-growing company in our sector and recently resulted in our CEO Tracy being shortlisted in the LDC/Telegraph 50 Business Leaders Awards.

Q&A

What’s your personal ambition?

I’m passionate about people. I like to empower people to think freely and see the big picture. Our chief customer excellence officer started on customer support as a teenager. He has grown with the company. When we have youngsters going up to directors and saying, “I’ve got an idea”, it’s brilliant.

How have you grown your business in the last 5 years?

We are winning customers because of our technology. We have a single database, which means our product is scalable and we can bolt on new features all the time. We are also completely transparent; our prices are on the website. We were the first to do that. And that’s why we have generated double-digit growth every year since we started. In 2014, we had just over 700 accountants. Today, we are used by 8,500 practices and 50,000 non-practice customers.

How important has your team been in achieving your ambition?

We have a saying here: “My customer. My responsibility” and everyone here subscribes to that. Every customer comes away feeling they have had a positive experience with TaxCalc and that translates into growth. Some 40% of all our new business comes from word of mouth recommendations.

We are an ambitious company, born with an entrepreneurial spirit that puts our customers at the heart of everything we do.
We understand your ambition too. Which is why we create powerful, scalable, affordable and integrated solutions – software that grows as you do.

Look out for our new game-changing practice management solution coming very soon.
