As a general practice it’s our job to look after your books and save you money. But we go further by understanding the nuances of your situation, proactively looking to the future, and putting you in the best possible position to succeed long-term.
Our small team can handle all your accountancy needs and set up your finances in the most advantageous manner. We also play an advisory role for many clients and become an integral part of their team.
If you’ve worked with larger accountancy firms then you’ll soon notice that our approach is different. We’ll get to know you personally, fully understanding your goals, and make sound objective recommendations based on your specific circumstances.
You’ll find our working relationship easy and come to see us as indispensable partners offering friendly and essential support.
We act for businesses and individuals of all shapes and sizes: limited companies, sole traders, partnerships, trusts, start-ups, SMEs, and larger organisations.
Our clients come from all kinds of backgrounds and sectors – from charities, community interest companies to IT consultants, engineers, and property developers.
We also have a network of local contacts that can help you in other areas when needed. The experience and expertise of our whole network is at your disposal.
Our people ensure that every single client benefits from a high degree of personal care and attention. We’re also fully aware of the ever changing legal issues, planning points, and practices that affect our industry. All staff receive regular technical updates and training, plus they attend appropriate courses in accordance with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants guidelines.

We’ve worked in Kent and London since 1905. Our office is now based in Lamberhurst, just outside Tunbridge Wells, in a picturesque location near the A21 with excellent transport links to The City. We have many local clients but also travel to London regularly for meetings.
When it comes to tax and finances, they say it’s best to know your accountant well. We agree entirely. That’s why we like to meet you face-to-face, build a good relationship, and keep in touch throughout the year.
