Blue First Printers: Finding an Accountant to Support Their Next Stage of Growth
From long-standing accountant to long-term business partner
When Blue First Printers’ long-standing accountant retired, Director Jack Gibbs knew that choosing a replacement was about much more than finding someone to prepare the accounts and handle deadlines.
As an ambitious and growing business, Blue First wanted an accountant who would understand where the company was heading, provide proactive advice and help the team make informed decisions as the business expanded.
They found that partnership with Blue Rocket Accounting in Dartford.
“We didn’t just want someone to prepare our accounts. We wanted an accountant who understood our vision, could help us plan for growth and would work alongside us as a genuine business partner.”

Choosing the Right Accountant
After working with the same accountant for many years, moving to a new firm was a significant decision.
Trust was essential, but Blue First also wanted a team that would take the time to understand the business rather than simply look at the numbers.
From the outset, the Blue Rocket Accounting team took the time to learn about Blue First, its ambitions and its plans for the future.
“From the beginning, Blue Rocket showed a genuine interest in our business. They listened to our plans, understood our ambitions and helped us look beyond the figures to make better commercial decisions.”
That relationship has given Blue First access to accountants they can speak to not only about compliance, but also about opportunities, investments, efficiencies and longer-term business plans.
Proactive Advice That Makes a Difference
For Blue First, one of the biggest differences has been Blue Rocket Accounting’s proactive approach.
Rather than focusing solely on what has already happened, the team has helped Blue First identify potential savings, improve financial planning and prepare for future expansion.
“Blue Rocket has helped us identify potential savings, improve our financial planning and prepare for the next stages of our expansion. Their advice gives us greater clarity and confidence when making important decisions.”
It is the type of relationship Blue First had been looking for: professional accounting support combined with practical, commercially focused advice.
More Than Just an Accountant
As Blue First continues to grow, having an accounting team that understands the wider business has become increasingly valuable.
Blue Rocket Accounting works alongside the company, providing the financial information, advice and ongoing support needed to help Jack and his team plan ahead.
“What has impressed us most is that Blue Rocket genuinely feels like part of our journey. The relationship feels like a partnership rather than a traditional accountant-and-client arrangement.”
For Jack, that combination of accessibility, professionalism and genuine interest in the success of the business is what sets Blue Rocket Accounting apart.
“We Wouldn’t Want to Work With Anyone Else”
When asked whether he would recommend Blue Rocket Accounting to other business owners, Jack’s answer is clear:
“Blue Rocket Accounting has been amazing for Blue First Printers. They’ve taken the time to understand our vision, helped us plan for growth and supported us in finding ways to make the business more efficient.”
And perhaps the strongest endorsement is the trust that has developed between the two businesses:
“Finding an accountant you completely trust is incredibly valuable. We’ve found that in Blue Rocket Accounting, and we wouldn’t want to work with anyone else.”
