Case study: How Lodestar Accounting built a fully remote firm with Kimbley IT.

Lodestar Accounting, based in Tamworth, is a modern, cloud-first accountancy practice built entirely around remote working. From day one, founder Chloe Fallon made a strategic decision: get IT right from the start.

Rather than struggle with outdated systems and patch things later, Chloe partnered with Kimbley IT, a Birmingham-based IT support provider specialising in helping businesses like hers run entirely online.

Having Kimbley IT as a support provider really helps me have the comfort and peace of mind that things are going to work smoothly.
— Chloe Fallon, Founder

What Kimbley IT did

  • Set up and configured Google Workspace to suit a fully remote team

  • Provided tools for real-time collaboration and secure file sharing

  • Delivered cybersecurity protection, including backups and web filtering

  • Offered ongoing support with near-instant response times

  • Helped Chloe explore better ways of working using new tech

The result

✅ A fully remote accountancy firm from day one
✅ No tech headaches – just fast, secure systems that work
✅ Confidence and peace of mind as the business scales
✅ Freedom to focus on clients and growth – not IT

“The team at Kimbley IT also help me think of better ways of doing things… That is really useful.
— Chloe Fallon, Founder

Why it matters

This case shows how choosing the right IT partner early on can transform how a business runs. Lodestar Accounting didn't just get IT support—they got a technology partner who helped build their business from the ground up.
