Committed to Our Essex & Hertfordshire Community
Supporting Our Community, On and Off the Field
At Jems Bookkeeping & Accountancy Services Ltd, community isn’t just part of what we do – it’s at the heart of who we are. As a proud local accountancy firm originally from North London but now rooted in Essex and Hertfordshire, we are dedicated to supporting the people, organisations, and causes that shape our region.
Proud Sponsors of Bishop's Stortford RFC Colts
We are delighted to be official sponsors of the Bishop’s Stortford RFC Colts team. Our sponsorship has enabled the team to purchase two brand-new sets of playing shirts for the 2025/26 and 2026/27 seasons, ensuring the boys are match-ready with high-quality kit throughout the year.
In addition, we are proud to sponsor a 1st XV player and contribute as a Man of the Match sponsor, further supporting the club across all levels.
Local sport plays a vital role in developing confidence, teamwork, and discipline among young people, and we’re proud to support a club that truly embodies these values both on and off the pitch.
Giving Back Where It Matters Most
Our commitment to the community goes far beyond sponsorship. We are proud to support meaningful local initiatives that make a real difference in people’s lives, including:
- Jim’s 27-Hour Karaoke Challenge, held in memory of Kyle Jaggers – a heartfelt community fundraising event supporting vital cancer-related causes.
See the JustGiving page - Free accounting support for The Bishop’s Stortford Friendship Club – a cherished local organisation providing a lifeline for older residents through friendship, activities, and social connection.
- The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride – an inspiring global movement that raises funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health.
These are just a few examples of how we give back to the community that supports us. As we grow, so does our dedication to helping others.
Growing Local Connections Through Networking
Jems is deeply embedded in the local business and charity networks. Our team regularly takes part in community networking events, business forums, and sponsored activities that bring people together and strengthen our regional connections.
Whether it’s through mentoring, volunteering, or simply showing up to support, we believe that building relationships is key to building a thriving community.
Nurturing the Next Generation of Accountants
We’re passionate about developing talent within our community. That’s why we provide apprenticeships and career support to aspiring finance professionals.
We offer pathways into industry-recognised qualifications including:
- Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB)
- Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT)
- Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)
Our apprentices gain hands-on experience, learn from seasoned professionals, and build a solid foundation in bookkeeping and accountancy – all while earning a salary.
Our Approach to Sponsorship
To us, sponsorship is more than a donation – it’s a way of building lasting relationships and creating tangible impact.
By partnering with local sports teams, charities, and community groups, we help empower the people who are making a difference. These initiatives bring people together, create new opportunities, and reinforce the strength of our community.
Together, We Make a Difference
Whether it’s supporting grassroots sport, backing a fundraiser, or mentoring the next generation, our team at Jems is proud to play an active role in shaping a stronger, more connected Essex and Hertfordshire.
