Begbies

Begbies is one of the oldest independent accountants in England and perhaps the oldest firm in continuous existence which still uses its founder's name. A testament to the quality of our service is that a large number of our clients have been with us through the decades. One of our earliest clients, a firm of solicitors in Gray's Inn, has been with Begbies since the mid-1850s.

In 1837, Queen Victoria's long reign had just begun, a patent was filed for the electric telegraph, London's first mainline station, Euston, was opened and a new colony in Australia was named after the UK Prime Minister, Melbourne. People were beginning to hear about child poverty in Charles Dickens' acclaimed Oliver Twist.

We have a friendly, approachable style and our advice is based on a sound understanding of your unique personal and business circumstances and goals. We pride ourselves on continuity of staff and give each client a single point of contact in order to build a close working relationship. Our partners are always accessible and clients especially value the support they provide.

At Begbies we provide a comprehensive range of services including audit and accounting, business support and outsourcing, corporate finance, litigation support, tax, trusts and VAT. We build long-standing relations with our clients and work hard to understand their businesses and the challenges they face.

The quality of our people is key to our success. Each of our employees is unique and brings a breadth of experience and perspective to our firm and our clients. Combining our individual skills maximises our knowledge and targets your needs with the expertise to support you. We emphasise professional training and personal development and all our staff are encouraged to develop their full potential in a supportive yet challenging environment.
