Keeping it personal

If I told you we are in the Top 50 accountants in the UK, have 18 partners and 150 staff in four offices in the

London area you would probably think we are too big, institutionalised and process driven. After all, how

could a firm that looks after in excess of 2,000 owner managed businesses with a combined turnover in

excess of £20 billion keep it personal? Well, quite simply because it’s the one thing that has remained at

the forefront of our business since 1899.

We’ll forge a close relationship with you to help you get the most out of your business. From tax-efficient

planning, corporate finance, audit & accounts, pensions, even selling your business - we always put you first.

Our brochure will give you an insight into Barnes Roffe and what sets us apart from other accountants.

We look forward to creating a long lasting partnership with you.

all departments. We also offer cloud services as well as delivering information via our client portal/intranet.

We also provide the following resources delivering a wealth of information in a variety of formats:
