Expert accounting services for Gillingham businesses and families
Gillingham is Medway's most populous town, and its business community — from Gillingham Business Park to the healthcare economy around Medway Maritime Hospital — makes up a substantial share of our client base. We serve clients across ME7 and ME8 from our office fifteen minutes away in Rochester.
Gillingham Business Park is one of North Kent's largest commercial estates, home to engineering, distribution and technology employers, and it anchors a wider ME7/ME8 economy of trades, contractors and family firms. Add Medway Maritime Hospital — the biggest single employer in the Medway Towns — and Hempstead Valley's retail cluster, and you have a town with a genuinely varied demand for accounting support.
That variety shows in our Gillingham client list: limited-company contractors supplying the business park, GPs, dentists, locum doctors and other healthcare professionals connected to the hospital, CIS subcontractors, and established family companies that have traded in the town for decades.
The hospital's presence means Gillingham has an unusually high concentration of medical professionals with complicated tax affairs — NHS pension annual-allowance charges, locum work through limited companies or umbrella arrangements, and private-practice income alongside employment. We handle these combinations regularly and can usually simplify what looks like a mess.
Gillingham's terraced streets and its proximity to the hospital and railway line sustain a busy rental market. We advise local landlords on the full run of property-tax questions — interest relief, repairs versus improvements, incorporation, and capital gains when it's time to sell — always modelled on your actual numbers, not generic rules of thumb.
We offer a full range of accounting and tax services to clients in Gillingham, including:

The local accountancy landscape is consolidating fast, and many clients of newly acquired firms are noticing the difference: higher fees, less partner time, advice shaped by group targets.

It surprises most people: unlike "solicitor", the word "accountant" has no legal protection in the UK.
