Satori Accounting celebrates 15 years of innovation and impact in small business finance

Derry based Satori Accounting, Northern Ireland’s trailblazer in cloud-based finance, is proud to mark its 15th anniversary - a milestone that highlights a decade and a half of innovation, community impact, and unwavering commitment to helping small businesses thrive.

Founded in 2010 by Kieran Phelan, the region’s first certified Xero advisor, Satori became Northern Ireland’s first fully cloud-based accounting firm. With a vision to transform the role of accountants from number-crunchers to strategic partners, Satori has championed tech-enabled, human-first finance for over 15 years - delivering clarity, confidence, and growth to hundreds of small and early-stage businesses.

“Satori was born from the belief that small business owners deserve more than just compliance - they deserve insight, support, and a partner who gets it,” said Kieran Phelan, Founder and CEO. “Fifteen years on, that mission is stronger than ever.”

Since its inception, Satori has earned national recognition, including: UK Small Firm of the Year at the Xero Awards; Multiple nominations at the UK Accounting Excellence Awards and Irish Accountancy Awards; Speaking appearances at leading events such as the Belfast Business Show and features on platforms like The Public Eye Podcast.

Satori’s work spans a range of small and growing businesses - from solo founders and startup teams to scaling professional services firms - offering CFO-level insights, system automation, and strategic guidance that goes well beyond traditional bookkeeping.
