Business Details
We have been providing straightforward accountancy services since our establishment in 1999. Chris Donovan qualified as a Member of the Association of Accounting Technicians in 1983, bringing over four decades of professional expertise. David Atyeo achieved the same qualification in 1995, adding nearly thirty years of specialised knowledge to our practice. Together we lead a dedicated team of three accountants and two administration assistants who support our daily operations. Our client base has been built almost entirely on personal recommendations and referrals, reflecting the trust we have earned. We understand the pressures and opportunities of running a business because we work closely with a broad range of business and personal clients.
Transparent communication sits at the heart of our approach, ensuring open and honest conversations free from confusing jargon. We recognise that every business is unique and requires a bespoke strategy for sustainable success. Our team fosters a deep understanding of each client's goals, challenges, and aspirations through close collaboration. We maintain professional indemnity insurance through AXA Insurance for complete client protection. Both directors hold Fellow Membership of the AAT and valid practice licences demonstrating our commitment to regulatory standards. We remain a small, friendly firm focused on delivering no-nonsense tax advice and business support.
