18 years of experience. One accountant who knows your name.

Janine is a chartered accountant with over 18 years of experience and dual professional qualifications — ACCA and AAT Licensed Accountant. She founded Leal Accountants to build something the industry doesn’t always make easy: a practice where clients get real expertise and real attention, not a different face every time they call.

Based at 28 Castle Street in Hertford, Janine works with sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies across Hertfordshire and beyond. She’s built her practice on long-term relationships — the kind where she understands your business, not just your balance sheet.

Janine is a firm believer in modern, cloud-first accounting. She uses the latest software to give clients real-time visibility of their finances, not just a once-a-year summary. Whether it’s Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent, she’ll recommend the right tool for your business and help you get the most out of it.

Outside of the numbers, Janine is known for being approachable, responsive, and genuinely invested in her clients’ success. She doesn’t hide behind jargon and she doesn’t leave things to the last minute. When you work with Leal Accountants, you work with Janine.
