About V&W

Dedicated to delivering first-class client service

Based in Reading, Vale & West has been assisting businesses since 1894 and has built a strong reputation for providing excellent advice and first-class accountancy services to businesses and personal clients alike in the Thames Valley area.

At the heart of our service is our team of professionals whose knowledge, experience and skills ensure smooth and successful handling of all our clients financial matters.

We may deal with a lot of figures in our work, but our chief concern is for people. We recognise that we are dealing with sensitive matters when overseeing finances - the stark figures represent people’s jobs, a business owner’s lifework, and a company’s future.

Our clients are individuals and so are we, and we believe forming personal relationships that work well are key to service excellence, for all involved. At Vale & West we offer all our clients the personal attention of a partner and senior staff.

Our clients whether large or small span many sectors, including:

  • legal and professional
  • property and construction
  • financial services
  • retail and distribution
  • clubs and societies
  • IT Services
  • UK subsidiaries of overseas companies
  • charities
  • pension funds
  • personal tax client
  • trusts and estates

We take pride in delivering an unparalleled service to all clients, whatever their size or sector, including business start-ups in the Thames Valley area.

As well as accountancy, audit and taxation skills our partners also have individual specialist expertise that enable us to provide clients with a first class-service in specific financial and business matters.

We also provide advice on improving and developing businesses. Whether you need an integrated financial strategy or access to corporate finance or tax advice, we are here to help you achieve your goals.

At Vale & West, we believe that we are big enough to advise on the most complex financial and tax issues yet small enough to care and support each client.

A better fit!

You might call it 'working hand-in-glove', but we just think that we fit our clients better than other accountants.

Accountants with zest

Zest – that inspiring mix of liveliness, enthusiasm and enjoyment – may not be a word linked to most accountants, but we are happy to be associated with it.

Age-old test!

Our firm has a proud past, but we are always forward-thinking. The world of our clients is in the future, and today we exist to serve them as best as we are able for all their tomorrows.

Put us to the test!

We have won our place as locally respected Chartered Accountants through proven performance over many years.
