Comprehensive accounting and tax services across the county of Kent
Kent is our county and our entire practice is built around it. From our Rochester base we act for businesses, landlords and individuals from Dartford and the Thames-side towns across to Canterbury, Ashford and the coast — one chartered firm covering the Garden of England.
Kent's economy is really several economies. The north-west corridor along the A2 and HS1 — Dartford, Gravesend, Medway — runs on construction, logistics and London commuters. Mid-Kent around Maidstone and Ashford mixes professional services with genuine agriculture: the orchards, hop gardens and now vineyards that earned the Garden of England its name. The east — Canterbury, Thanet, the coastal towns — leans on tourism, education and a fast-growing creative sector.
We act for clients in every one of those Kents. The common thread isn't geography, it's the kind of client: owner-managed companies, landlords and property investors, farming and rural families, and individuals whose tax affairs have outgrown DIY self-assessment.
Three strands of work bring clients to us from right across Kent. Property tax first: the county's landlords face the same interest-relief, incorporation and capital-gains questions whether their portfolio is in Dartford or Deal, and it's our deepest specialism. Second, rural and agricultural work — diversification income, agricultural property relief and succession planning for the county's farming families. Third, owner-managed business advice: the accounts-tax-payroll-VAT bundle done properly, plus honest counsel at the decision points.
Cloud accounting makes geography irrelevant for the day-to-day: whether you're in Sevenoaks or Sandwich, we see the same live Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent data you do, and meetings happen by video at times that suit you. For the conversations that deserve a table — succession, sale, restructuring — we'll come to you anywhere in the county, or you're welcome at our Rochester office just off the M2.
We offer a full range of accounting and tax services to clients in Kent, including:
Our Kent-wide services cover business accounting, personal tax, and specialist property tax advice.

Our single office is at Unit 7 Kenden Business Park, Maritime Close, Medway City Estate, Rochester, Kent, ME2 4JF — deliberately just off the M2/A2 corridor, so it's reachable from most of Kent within forty-five minutes, with free parking on site. But for clients beyond the Medway area the relationship is remote-first by design: video calls, cloud bookkeeping and secure document sharing as standard, and we travel to you when a meeting genuinely needs to happen at your kitchen table or your premises.

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. Independence lets a firm work differently. Here's what that means in practice — and how easy switching really is.
If your company rents its premises, vehicles or equipment, your accounts are about to look different. Here's what the 2026 FRS 102 lease changes mean for small companies — framework by framework — with a worked example and a preparation checklist.
It surprises most people: unlike "solicitor", the word "accountant" has no legal protection in the UK. So what do "chartered" and "certified" actually guarantee, what is HMRC's new tax adviser registration regime, and how do you verify the firm you're about to trust with your finances? A plain-English guide.
The company size thresholds rose sharply for periods beginning on or after 6 April 2025, taking thousands of SMEs out of statutory audit. Here's how the new limits work, when a group must still be audited, and who has to prepare consolidated accounts.
