Providing you with advice beyond compliance
Proudly independent · Personal advice · Personal service
Fixed-fee chartered accountants for limited companies, sole traders, partnerships and start-ups across Kent.
Running a small business is hard enough without chasing your accountant for an answer. Professional Trust Group works almost exclusively with owner-managed businesses — companies where the founder is also the person doing the work and making the decisions. That shapes how we operate: clear fixed fees, fast replies, proactive advice, and qualified accountants on every job. As an ICAEW Chartered firm those aren't just promises — see our guide to chartered vs certified accountants for what the qualifications actually guarantee.
Most of our small-business clients are turning over between £50k and £2m, often with a small team and a handful of contractors. If that's roughly you, we can almost certainly help. We work with businesses across Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Maidstone, Sittingbourne and the rest of Kent.
If you're already with another firm, we'll handle the whole handover for you — professional clearance, collection of records, and the move across to our systems. Most clients are switched over within a week or two with no disruption. Wondering whether to go independent or with a national chain? Read why an independent local accountant still beats the big groups.

Converting offices or shops into homes? In the wrong structure, the VAT on the works is a straight cost. In the right one, you recover it in full — and the transfer to your letting company escapes SDLT too.
Every year we see the same perfectly legitimate expenses go unclaimed. Here are the ones most owner-managed businesses forget — and the conditions that make them allowable.
