Straight talking, forward thinking. Since 1894

Welcome Welcome Welcome Welcome

We are accountants operating from Reading at the heart of the dynamic Thames Valley economic region – and we’ve done so successfully for more than a century.

Our longevity and experience means that whatever your needs, we can help.

Audit and accounts, taxation, payroll, business planning and advice are just some of the services we supply to a wide range of businesses and individuals. We are equipped to help your business through its life cycle from an embryonic start-up to the sale of a mature business and beyond.

Like many accountants we have specialisms and sector expertise – not least within entrepreneurial and owner-managed businesses, and small to medium-sized businesses – but we believe our greatest strength is the way we serve our clients, small or large.

The thing is, we understand the way our clients operate. Yes, we have professional accountancy and taxation skills, but our partners are owner-managers and businessmen too, and face similar business challenges.

Many accountants convey a mystique to their work. We don’t. We tell it the way it is – provide solutions, and then get on with the work.

Straight talking, forward-thinking, and pro-active

  • We gain 80% of our clients by recommendation
  • More than 60% of our clients have been with us more than 10 years
  • Approaching 10% have been clients for more than 30 years

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.
