Accountants' Success Secrets with Chris Maslin of Maslin Ltd

Welcome to another episode of Accountants' Success Secrets! This week, hosts Mark Lee and Philippa Haynes sit down with Chris Maslin, founder of Maslins Ltd, for an inspiring conversation you won’t want to miss.

Chris shares the journey of starting his own practice in his mid-20s, after working in larger firms and always asking, “Why do we do it this way?” From knocking on doors to land his first clients, to embracing online accounting platforms like FreeAgent early on, Chris explains how he found his niche supporting UK freelancers and contractors—and why following the tide led to his firm’s success.

But that’s not all: Chris dives into his bold decision to hand over control of Maslins to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). He’s open about the challenges and unexpected twists along the way, sharing what it’s really like to step back and empower the team he’s built from the ground up.

Whether you’re just starting out or contemplating the next stage for your practice, this episode is packed with practical lessons, honest mistakes, and a refreshing look at building a values-driven accounting business.

Get ready to be inspired, entertained, and maybe even rethink what the future of accountancy could look like!
