The partners have a wealth of experience as a result of their individual career paths. These range from auditing multi-national groups to solving complex taxation and planning problems and dealing with Inland Revenue meetings and investigations.

Through careful recruitment, staff have been selected so as to maintain the quality of the services offered to clients as well as gradually expanding the range of services available. The firm employ fully qualified Chartered Accountants and members of the Institute of Taxation to complement the expertise of the partners. In addition, we have a dedicated specialist team of Independent Financial Advisors available to us to maximise the income and growth generated from our clients capital.

We are proud of our staff loyalty which ensures continuity of contact for our clients. A number of our staff have been with us in excess of 20 years.

We are a Registered Auditor, regulated for a range of investment business activities by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, and provide a wide range of business support and development services. We have a diverse mixture of clients including large solicitors' and doctors' practices, manufacturing companies and groups, and self administered pensions schemes as well as smaller owner managed businesses, farmers, working men's clubs and public houses. We also assist clients (including several subsidiaries of overseas companies) with the preparation of monthly and quarterly management accounts, staff recruitment and training, business development and corporate finance and tax planning.

A significant part of the financial investment has been in the recruitment and training of the Hansons team. This has lead to the production of our Mission Statement and a renewed focus on services we can provide to clients.
