PAPERCHASE ACCOUNTANCY LIMITED
Company number 02373033 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Paperchase Accountancy Limited is a debt-free, 36-year-old hospitality specialist with a genuine vertical moat, £3.83m of net assets compounding at roughly 24% annually, and a proven ability to grow equity on a shrinking headcount. However, its strategic position is deteriorating at the edges: cash is 74% below its FY2022 peak, 86% of its debtor book sits with group undertakings, and client account balances have nearly halved — signalling softening client activity. The company has the financial capacity to reinvent itself as an advisory-led, data-monetising hospitality finance platform, but it must address intra-group liquidity concentration and core-activity commoditisation before the window closes.
