Although we have experience across the full spectrum, particular areas of specialisation include recruitment businesses, solicitors, architects & surveyors.


Our recruitment sector clients represent all aspects of the industry from executive search and selection to agencies specialising in contract placements. We are one of the few UK accountancy firms who really understand how the recruitment sector works, inside and out.


Professional Practices


Partners in professional practices often find it difficult to devote sufficient time to their own personal affairs.


To help you plan your financial affairs we offer:


  • independent and impartial advice
  • regular "clinics" for partners - discussing financial goals and identifying tax and financial planning opportunities
  • partner-led, tailored advice - specific to your needs

We act for many solicitors and other professional practices. We assist our professional practice clients with a wide range of matters including: tax legislation, issues arising from self-assessment, tax planning opportunities, HM Revenue & Customs and VAT procedures, agreeing taxable profits and pension provision.
