Barbara Demetriou

Founder & Head of Tax​

I’m Barbara, and I founded Archimedia Accounts with the intention of helping people increase their family’s wealth, just as I did my own. I have 30+ years of experience in tax planning and also have a successful property portfolio, so I like to think I know a thing or two! I’m passionate about passing on my knowledge to improve the lives of others. I’m a real people person, and I’m often referred to as the Mother Hen of Archimedia (which I love!). I’m married to Demetris, and we have two sons (one of which is Chris) and a daughter. In my spare time, I like to relax, and I’m probably Ragdale Hall Spa’s biggest fan!​

Chris Demetriou

Head of Business Advisory​

Hi, I’m Chris, and Barbara is my mother. I always refer to myself as an entrepreneur first and an accountant second. I find great fulfilment in sharing my knowledge and helping my clients to run their businesses more efficiently and profitably. I’m a family man, married to Zoe with a son Demetris (named after his dad, of course), and a daughter Nektaria. My interests are diverse, and I love playing football as much as I do singing in a Byzantine Choir! There’s never a quiet moment, but when I do get time, I like to share my insights in the Archimedia Accounts news section.

Viktoria

Bookkeeper/Management Accountant

Hi, I’m Viktorija! I moved to the UK 13 years ago after earning my degree in Economics (Finance) back in Lithuania. Since then, I’ve worked in fast-paced Finance departments across international Telecommunications and Logistics companies, where I gained a wealth of experience.

I hold the AATQB qualification and at Archimedia I handle day-to-day bookkeeping with management accounts and VAT Returns for our clients & e-commerce clients. I really enjoy the variety and problem-solving that comes with the role.

Outside of work, I’m a proud mum of two wonderful kids. In my spare time, I love getting creative with crafts, tackling a good sudoku puzzle, or diving into DIY projects—though I’ll admit, many of those end up being “joint” efforts with my very patient husband!

Jill

Accountant

Hi, I’m Jill and I’ve worked in accountancy for around 30 years after falling into it after leaving school. I’ve found a home here at Archimedia as they share my passion for caring about clients and helping them to improve their finances rather than just preparing accounts because HMRC says you have to.

I’m a caring person mainly for my amazing husband Steve and two beautiful daughters Brooke & Katie. My biggest passions in life are looking after my 3 amazing grandchildren and supporting my beloved Sunderland AFC (sadly).

Chloe

Bookkeeper/Management Accountant

I’m Chloe, and I have a real passion for helping clients reach their full potential. I focus on making sure they understand the work we do and always feel heard, supported, and valued. My day-to-day work mainly involves Year-End Accounts and VAT, and I genuinely enjoy the problem-solving side of the job.

I’m a friendly voice on the phone and always happy to chat with clients! Outside of work, I love spending time with my two young children, most often at parks or soft play centres!

John

Business Development Manager

Hi I’m John, and I’m the Business Development Manager here at Archimedia Accounts. I studied Economics at the University of Nottingham and then went straight into banking in London. It was a fast-paced start to my career, but I eventually realised I wanted something more personal—somewhere I could build real relationships and make a genuine difference to people’s lives.

That’s what brought me to Archimedia. I love working with business owners, understanding what makes them tick, and helping them find accounting and advisory support that actually helps them grow—rather than just ticking a box for HMRC.

Clara

Accountant

Hi I’m Clara, I worked in a few Accountancy Practices before finding my roots in Archimedia. I mainly work on Year End Accounts and Management Accounts.

I love art and spending time with my friends. I have a loving husband and a little daughter.

My favourite parts of Accounting are the problem-solving and helping clients clear up their financials & feeling in control of their company.

At Archimedia Accounts, relationships matter to us

Maybe it’s because we are a family-run accountant firm – it is more than just a business to us, it’s our lifeblood. We are successful business people as well as accountants, and so we know just how important financial management is to success.

Simply put, we are here to help our clients make more money! We do that by forging strong working relationships and taking time to understand not just their business but their personal financial situation and life goals.

We can help minimise your tax liability

Our aim is to maximise clients’ business profits and personal wealth by putting the right tax strategies in place. We know tax inside out and take a holistic approach with their long-term as well as short-term success in mind.

It’s a bold statement, but on average, we save our clients £2k-£5k per year in tax. While this is a source of delight for them, they soon realise they have been losing out over the years! This is what really sets us apart from other accountants – we will work harder and smarter to find every last saving for our clients.

Business advisory based on real experience

As successful entrepreneurs and portfolio landlords ourselves, we can offer a unique perspective on your business operations. We conduct a business planning session with our clients each year, the goal of which is to help them make informed decisions, improve efficiency, maximise profits, and deal with challenges more effectively.

Join the family

We founded Archimedia Accounts to provide the kind of financial support that we felt was missing to small businesses in Nottinghamshire. You can expect a warm welcome and a thoughtful, tailored service aimed at helping you increase your personal wealth and achieve your life goals.

I have been with Archimedia Accounts for over a year now, and I honestly can't recommend them enough. As a Holistic Health Therapist, I have very little knowledge of accounting or tax-saving strategies, so having a team I can trust completely has been invaluable. They take care of everything professionally and efficiently, giving me complete peace of mind when it comes to my accounts. What really sets Archimedia Accounts apart is the personal approach. They feel more like family than just accountants. They take the time to get to know you, understand your business and your goals, and are always there to offer advice and support whenever you need it. If you're looking for accountants who are knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely care about your success, I would highly recommend Archimedia Accounts. Thank you for all your hard work and support!

I can’t recommend Archimedia enough! I have been self employed for 4 years now, and I made the switch to Archimedia because I was always left feeling confused and out of touch with previous accountancy firms. The team at Archimedia are absolutely wonderful. They nurture their clients and go above and beyond to ensure you are well communicated with and up to date on everything. There is no question that is left unanswered, and we have regular meetings to update each other about any changes. I feel like I’m finally in safe hands where I can completely trust the professionals and not have to stress, and if ever I do have questions, they are answered promptly and thoroughly. Thank you so much to Archimedia, a huge weight has been lifted since joining. If you are looking for a reliable, friendly, personal and adaptable accountancy firm, please choose Archimedia, you won’t be disappointed. 🙂

I can’t recommend Archimedia Accounts enough. Unlike many firms that just crunch numbers, they actually take the time to understand my business goals and vision. Their tax savings strategy is top-notch and has been a game-changer for our growth. If you want accountants who are proactive partners rather than just service providers, this is the team.

I’m so thankful I found Archimedia accounts, they genuinely care about you and your business ⭐️

Archimedia Accounts have been brilliant this past few months supporting my transition back into hospitality and leaving self employment and setting up a new company. They are patient, informative and communicate well and in good time. My only regret is that I didn't sign up to work with them sooner. As a small business owner, getting their advice is crucial and takes a lot of stress away.

Nice people and very switched on. I have only been with them for 3 months, but they have already made some changes that have saved me money; things that were not picked up by previous accountants. They are also quick to action requests.

As my first experience using an accountant, I couldn’t be more impressed or happier. Highly recommend!

We chose Archimedia because of their knowledge of the property market and we have recently become a limited company in this sector. We had become frustrated with our previous Accountant who was slow to respond to our queries and never had anything to offer our business in terms of tax savings or driving it forward. Barbara and Chris have been incredible since day one! They have provided us with invaluable advice which has had an immediate and very significant positive impact on our business. Barbara has been our main contact and she is so patient and kind. We really feel in safe hands with Archimedia and only wish we had joined them years ago!
