Our Philosophy and Values
- Professionalism, first and foremost
We take great pride in applying the highest standards of professionalism in all that we do. All our team undertake regular training to make sure they are up to speed with the latest developments in the fast evolving world of tax law and practice.
- Building success
We are ICAEW Business Advisers as well as accountants. As part of your team we will apply the same skills and resources to your business needs as we do to our own. We will help you to maximise opportunities, overcome challenges, and troubleshoot problems. After all, we want your business to succeed as much as you do.
- Size doesn’t matter
It really doesn’t. You will enjoy the same level of service from us whether you’re a start-up business, a growing success story, an established business considering succession, or a hard pressed taxpayer struggling with self assessment. And as to our own size, let’s put it this way: we’re big enough to solve your tax and business problems, but small enough to remember your name when you call.
- Certainty over costs
Our goal is to offer high value, cost effective services. We understand that you need certainty over costs and accordingly provide most of our services at a competitive fixed fee, agreed with you in advance. What we will never do is compromise on quality for the sake of cost. As Red Adair famously said: “If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur”.
- Doing what we say
We make and fulfil commitments, meet deadlines, and accept responsibility for our actions. When we make promises, we keep them. If for any reason we are unable to meet your expectations we will tell you so and explain the reasons frankly and honestly. And that is a promise.
