Our firm stands out from other accounting firms because we are a boutique firm, which specialises in assisting small to medium businesses with accounting and business advice.
Our firm wants to be seen as your business partners working alongside you to ensure you achieve your financial goals and build your business up, not your daunting accountants.
Our motto at Town & Country Accountants is ‘accounting for all lifestyles’, this means that we open our doors to people of all backgrounds and we tailor our advice to every individual client depending on what we think your business needs to strive. We are professional but personable.
Sarah Price, our associate, has been with the firm since its inception and now plays a key role within the practice. In 2014, Bevan Spalding joined our firm as a partner after leaving a senior tax manager role in a large corporate accounting firm and continued to grow the practice by building strong relationships with clients.
