Professional accounting and tax services for the Rochester community
Professional Trust Group is based in Rochester itself, at Kenden Business Park on Medway City Estate — five minutes from the Castle and Cathedral end of the High Street, with free parking on site. For Rochester businesses and residents we are the genuinely local option: your accountant works where you do.
Rochester's economy runs on more than its heritage. Alongside the independent shops, cafés and galleries of the High Street — whose takings swing noticeably with the Dickensian Christmas and Sweeps festivals and the summer castle-concert crowds — the city has a strong professional-services quarter, an active construction and trades base, and a marine and engineering cluster along the Medway riverfront and on Medway City Estate around us.
We prepare accounts and tax returns for limited companies, sole traders and partnerships across ME1 and ME2, and we understand the specifics: seasonal cash-flow planning for hospitality businesses near the Castle, CIS compliance for contractors working the riverside regeneration sites, and VAT treatment for the mixed retail-and-café model many High Street traders now run.
Rochester's period housing stock — from the Victorian terraces off Maidstone Road to conversions in the conservation area — makes it one of Medway's busiest buy-to-let markets. We act for landlords with single rentals through to multi-property portfolios, advising on interest-relief restrictions, incorporation decisions and capital gains when a sale is on the cards.
The Innovation Centre Medway on Maidstone Road and the wider regeneration around Rochester Riverside have brought a wave of younger companies to the city. If you are starting out, we will set the company up properly, register you for the right taxes at the right time, and put cloud bookkeeping in place so you never fall behind.

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.
