About Us

OUR TEAM

Clients remain with us year after year, many in excess of 20 years. They know that we are always available to meet the changing needs of their businesses.

Our team includes specialists in all areas required by our client range. We cover a wide cross-section of industries, commerce and the medical professions. We pride ourselves in the quality of service provided and place a strong emphasis on professional training for all members of staff.

Our clients include individuals seeking personal tax advice, sole traders, partnerships and private limited companies.

As required, we call on Gregor Clark CA, a specialist taxes advisor, to provide a second opinion for complex tax issues. For VAT support we call on the services of a former VAT inspector with over 30 year's experience.

We also have a strong network of financial planning, legal and corporate planning experts available to us.
