Since we started out in 2014, we’ve worked side by side with landowners across the UK to help them fully benefit from their renewable energy projects. To make sure we always get the best results for our clients, we work with qualified, specialist accountants, lawyers, engineers and other professionals. Each of our reviews is carried out by an ICAEW Chartered Accountant – and we’re a member firm of the Institute, too.
In 2006, Travis Benn started his career as a chartered accountant for a top accounting firm. But his deeper passion was to do work that would impact the planet. When an opportunity came up for him to work for a renewable energy company, he was excited to take it. Over the years, his knowledge of the market grew and he noticed it was hard for landowners to thoroughly check their long-term lease agreements, as there was little transparency in the market. What’s more, contracts had often not kept pace with the market, with its fluctuating energy prices and changing subsidies. Travis knew there must be a way to help. Drawing on his dedication to growing the green economy, and his drive to make renewable investments more beneficial for landowners, he created Accounting for Energy in 2014 with his wife, Freccia.
“I have always felt passionate about making a difference to our planet and having a positive impact on the world. With greater transparency in the renewable energy sector, we can help create a mutually beneficial marketplace. This, in turn, will help current and new projects run more smoothly, making things better for everyone.”

Before Accounting for Energy, Freccia was a successful entrepreneur in the healthcare space. When Travis told her about the challenges in the renewables sector, she was convinced that they could use their combined expertise to help landowners.
Fuelled by her passion for business and making a difference to landowners, Freccia then developed her ideas for Accounting for Energy’s services, strategy and pricing in a way that would best serve their clients.
She is now responsible for all the business’ operational activities and client services, and her passion for helping landowners in the UK continues to drive her work.
“With the threat of climate change to our planet looming, my mission is to develop a business that helps build the infrastructure of the renewable energy market. I also want to make sure those who are invested in it receive fair returns. As this is still a new industry, we are able to help to avoid the pitfalls of other more established industries and by doing so, help the wider green economy.”
