ACCOUNTING ADVICE THAT MAKES 1+1 = 5
We’re as invested in your success as you are.
For the Notion Five team, 1+1 has always equaled 5.
Inspired by the mathematician Euclid, who believed that ‘the sum is greater than its parts’, Notion Five’s founders, Matt and Kate, wanted to bring this concept to the accounting world.
In 2018 the opportunity finally arose for Matt and Kate to finally bring this vision to life. What they’ve created is not just an accounting firm, it’s been designed from day one to make sure 1 + 1 always adds up to more. More success, more evolution, more community, and more support so you never feel like you’re walking the path to success alone.
After working together in various roles for more than 14 years, they knew that numbers are just one part of a successful accounting equation.
To truly make a difference to the lives of the people they work with, that equation also requires curiosity, strategic problem solving, a diverse network of talented and committed professionals, and most of all, being willing to dive in boots and all to get the job done.


When you work with Notion Five, you’re not partnering with a company, you’re becoming part of the fold, where we:
- Become a proactive part of your team
- Make sure we know what you need before you do
- Work every day to help you succeed, grown and evolve
- Tell you what you can do rather than what you can’t do
- Never take a ‘cookie cutter’ approach
- Hopefully also make you laugh along the way
By pairing our financial know-how with your industry smarts, what we can achieve together is so much more than the sum of our individual parts. (If we weren’t accountants who are deeply rooted in the world of logic, numbers and facts, we’d almost say it all feels a bit like magic).
