Expert accounting and tax services for businesses, property investors, individuals and families in Medway
Medway is our home patch. Professional Trust Group works from Medway City Estate in the middle of the conurbation, and our client base spans all five towns — Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Strood and Rainham — plus the villages of the Hoo Peninsula.
Medway is one of the largest urban economies in the South East outside London, and its business mix reflects that: engineering and manufacturing descended from the dockyard trades, a fast-growing construction sector serving the area's house-building programme, healthcare businesses clustered around Medway Maritime Hospital, and thousands of owner-managed companies, trades and freelancers spread across ME1 to ME8.
We act for clients in every one of the five towns. That means we know the practical details that generic firms miss — which business rates reliefs Medway Council operates, how the Chatham Docks and Basin developments are changing the commercial-property picture, and what the universities at Chatham Maritime mean for landlords letting to students and staff.
Medway remains one of Kent's most active buy-to-let markets, with strong rental demand from London commuters on the HS1 line and the student population at the Medway campus. We advise landlords across the towns on portfolio structuring, incorporation, HMO income treatment and capital gains — and we'll tell you honestly when a restructure isn't worth the cost.
Because we sit centrally on Medway City Estate, no Medway client is more than about fifteen minutes from our door. Corporation tax, VAT, payroll, bookkeeping, self-assessment and tax planning are all handled in-house by the same partner-led team, so you never get passed around departments.
We offer a full range of accounting and tax services to clients in Medway, including:
Whether you need business accounting, personal tax advice, or property tax guidance, our Medway team is here to help.

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.
