Behind Bluebell

Long story short

Claire Johnson - Bluebell

Claire Johnson
Company Director, Bluebell Admin Services

Hi! I’m Claire, your partner in all things bookkeeping and admin.

I believe in keeping things simple, honest, and transparent. Whether I’m reconciling your bank account, sorting out your VAT, or helping you make sense of your numbers, I always aim to share what I know in a way that actually makes a difference. No jargon. No fluff. Just practical support you can rely on.

My journey here wasn’t exactly planned…

I started out as the manager of a day nursery, but after having my second child, that career just didn’t fit anymore. Around that time, my husband was running his own franchise business and needed help with the books — so I stepped in. I taught myself Sage back in 2002 and took over the data entry, learning more as we expanded to 4 franchises in total.

I’ve since run a few businesses, including my own franchise. I’ve been a Company Director, employee, employer, manager, and owner along the line. All I need now is to take up butchering and candlestick making!

 The point is, I know first-hand how overwhelming the admin side of things can get — especially when you’re spinning all the plates. Those experiences gave me a real appreciation for the power of good bookkeeping and solid systems.

Bluebell Admin Was Born

When I launched Bluebell in 2020, I realised that being “the wife who does the books” wasn’t enough anymore. I wanted to do things properly. So, I studied with the ICB and focused on offering the kind of reliable, friendly support I’d once needed myself.

Along the way I became a bit of a tech enthusiast – in a useful way. I’m always exploring new software and tools that can save time — for me and for my clients. Whether it’s cloud accounting, automated invoicing, mileage trackers, receipt-scanning apps or industry-specific programs, I love finding clever ways to make things easier and more efficient.

So Why Work With Me?

  • I’ve run businesses, so I get what’s on your plate.
  • I’ll always tell the truth in plain English, even when it’s the boring stuff
  • I genuinely enjoy helping people feel more in control of their finances
  • I’ll never speak to you like a spreadsheet

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your books or just want someone to take the admin off your hands, I’d love to chat. No pressure — just a friendly conversation to see if I’m the right fit for your business.
