With fifteen partners and four offices, we have the ability to provide practical solutions to turn your thoughts, ideas and queries into achieveable goals. We will always have your best interests at heart. Importantly we want you to view us as more than an accountancy firm, but as a trusted counsel who will be your friend for life.
Even today, more than 100 years since we were first established in 1899, we continue to meet every challenge the ever-changing business industry has to offer with an enthusiasm and a dedication that sets us apart from our competition. With our experience in accounting, taxation, IT and more, together with our highly regarded graduate training scheme, we have built a business which does more for our clients in the following ways:
1. Ideas
A rich resource and continuous flow of practical ideas and solutions tailored to you and your business, whether to improve your business systems or to save you tax.

3. Timeliness
We believe the key to offering a truly excellent service requires more than ideas, solutions and value for money – it is about delivering these in the most efficient and timely manner, in a timetable suitable to our clients’ requirements. One where our idea generation, commitment to quality standards and vigorous internal procedures are just elements of the overall customer satisfaction of a well delivered timely service.
4. Communication and accessibility
Our clients know that we are ‘always available’ for them, and enjoy direct points of contact with their designated contact partners and managers. We keep our clients informed of progress and plans so they know exactly where, when and how their requirements are being met.
“We do not screen our calls. You will find that we never ask “who’s calling please” in the first instance when you call - this is because when you call a member of the team, if we’re in and not with another client, we’ll always take the call. We believe immediate accessibility is part of our role. Clients say we have no idea just how refreshing this is.” - Peter Bonnell FCA
If we are not in or are with a client, we will get back to you within one working day.
5. Transparent fees
We know how important it is that our clients get the best value for money. Our fees are typically pre-agreed so our clients know the exact costs of a particular engagement. Things may not always go according to plan, but our policy of active communication means that you will not have any nasty surprises of extra costs.
6. Resourceful
Core to our client relationships is the continual offering of informative seminars and regular topical tips to increase your awareness of practical business matters and changes which may affect you or your business.
7. Valuable assurance
