About us

Chris Metcalf | Founder of Thomas Emlyn Ltd

With over 15 years of experience specialising in accountancy and financial strategy for the construction sector, I founded Thomas Emlyn Accountancy with one core mission: to simplify financial management for construction businesses, allowing you to focus on growth, clarity, and profitability.

Working closely with construction business owners across London and beyond, I’ve seen firsthand how financial complexity and administrative burdens can hold back great companies from achieving their full potential. Through our innovative Virtual Finance Office (VFO) and Virtual Finance Director (VFD) services, we’ve successfully transformed financial stress into strategic clarity, empowering our clients to make informed decisions and improve their margins.

Why Construction?

I understand that the construction sector has unique challenges: cash-flow pressures, fluctuating material costs, subcontractor management, and complex tax regulations. Our tailored financial services are specifically designed to address these challenges head-on. My expertise isn’t just theoretical—it’s practical, tested, and proven to help construction companies like yours thrive.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Industry Expertise: I’ve built deep insights into construction accounting, tax planning, and strategic growth, translating complexity into straightforward, actionable insights.

  • Strategic Partnership: I’m not just your accountant; I’m your strategic partner. My goal is to proactively guide you towards greater profitability and clearer financial insights.

  • Personalised Service: No cookie-cutter solutions—every client receives personalised strategies reflecting your unique business circumstances, challenges, and ambitions.
