About Us
Francis & Co are not just here to do your tax return or end of year accounts, nor are we the sort of firm that you only hear from once a year. Our emphasis is on looking at the bigger picture and applying our expertise within the wider context of your business.
We want your business to be a success and it’s important to us that you feel that you can rely on us for proactive business and tax advice, as well as basic accountancy functions. Our team can help you every step of the way in reaching your business goals.
From bookkeeping and accounts preparation to payroll and VAT services, we are on hand to assist. We also provide a wide range of services for private individuals including personal tax and planning advice. Importantly, by keeping in touch and developing practical working relationships, we aim to help every client achieve the best that they can.
That even extends to how we do business. We offer all our prospective clients a free, no obligation first meeting, where a considerable amount of advice and a fee quote can be provided. To help your cash-flow we’ll even consider fixed-fee arrangements or paying your bill in monthly instalments.
Whether it’s general statutory accounting, auditing, tax compliance and planning, or general business advice, Francis & Co can help you. Our focus is on providing the local business community with an excellent, friendly and proactive service, with a real emphasis on common-sense, business-focused advice.
The team at Francis & Co has been built to reflect the specific needs of the owner-managed businesses that we specialise in. By providing a professional team across all levels we are able to respond directly to your requirements and to ensure that every piece of work is carried out with these in mind, both efficiently and cost-effectively.
