About Simon Murray Stone Balance Accounting

Your business, balanced.

After nearly 20 years of working for an accountancy practice, Simon set up Stone Balance Accounting in spring 2019 to achieve more of a work life balance for himself and his young family, to continue to support start-ups and growing owner managed businesses that share the same core values.

Since setting up the business, we’ve helped businesses of all sizes, across a variety of sectors, from retail to construction, IT to engineering, and many more! Plus, at Stone Balance Accounting we recognise there is no one-size fits all, so as standard we’ll put together a service that’s tailor made to suit your individual needs.
