We are a multi-award-winning team of finance experts. We use our love of numbers coupled with our collaborative working style to help businesses and people reach their full potential.

Our History

Based in Cardiff, Wales, BOD was founded by Carrie Barford and Emma Owen Davies. Carrie and Emma worked closely together at PwC and developed a shared passion for helping Welsh privately owned businesses. With strong values and ethics, Carrie and Emma set about building a likeminded team. With people’s wellbeing at the top of the agenda, Carrie and Emma have instilled a culture of truly flexible working.

Our Mission

We strive to deliver beyond expectations – leveraging our extensive experience, broad range of expertise and commitment to deliver. With a deeply personalised and collaborative approach we work side by side with our clients to help unlock their potential. This is only possible with a strong team culture that makes BOD a great place to work.

Our Values

At BOD we uphold a set of core values that guides our operations and interactions with clients and each other:

Trust and Respect

We embody trust and respect through our expert knowledge, integrity, dependability, and ethical behaviour. Clients can rely on us to deliver quality work with respectful honesty and healthy challenge where necessary. Within our team, we foster openness, transparency, and clear expectations.

Ambition and Passion

We are energised by people and companies reaching their full potential. For our clients, this means we are passionate about their growth, seeing their success as our own. For our team, we offer meaningful work and support personal development and aspirations.

Human and Collaborative

We believe that people make businesses, and strong teams deliver. For our clients, this means we are more than just a service provider; we focus on building strong relationships, listening, and adapting our approach. For our team, it means a workplace with a great culture, flexibility, and a fun environment.

Our Culture

We are passionate about our work and are equally as committed to the way in which we collaboratively work as a team and with our clients. We continuously strive to be the best organisation possible, a place where our team members and clients alike take pleasure and pride in working together.

Flexible Working

The well-being of our people is a key priority for us and is paramount to attracting an exceptional team and delivering high-quality services. We provide a truly flexible working arrangement, allowing our team members to choose when and where they work.

Professional and Ethical

As an ICAEW practice we are required to demonstrate the highest standards of professional conduct. ICAEW’s Code of Ethics (the Code) is at the heart of everything we do and we are guided by its fundamental principles being Integrity, Objectivity, Professional Competence and Due Care, Confidentiality and Professional Behaviour.

Sustainability

We are deeply committed to making a positive impact on the well-being of our community, environment, and, most importantly, our people. As part of our commitment, we have joined The Green Growth Pledge, which supports Welsh businesses in taking proactive measures to enhance their sustainability. This initiative showcases our commitment to fostering positive impacts on the people and places around us, while aligning with other forward-thinking organisations in Wales striving for a low carbon future.
