Report
The firms offers support across all main areas - business start up, company incorporation, business plans, funding, accounting records, VAT returns, bookkeeping, management accounts and internal reporting, annual accounts, audit, business tax returns, personal tax returns, tax planning and general commercial advice.
With expertise covering all aspects of accountancy, taxation and business advisory services, we are well placed to take a rounded view of how we can best support you. Having trained with the city office of a top 15 firm, Andrew moved to a managerial role with a regional office of Smith & Williamson.
We work with you to enable you to plan for your tax liabilities, filing deadlines and our fees. We were founded in 1919 and our longevity is down to our focus on forming lasting relationships with our clients, getting to know their needs and supporting them. We speak openly and honestly and promise not to blind you with jargon.
These are a few of the more common questions we get asked by prospective clients considering using our services. A: If your existing accountant is offering you an excellent pro-active service at a fair fee then stick with them. However, different accountants will save you different amounts of tax and provide different levels of business advice.
The first requirement for any client is that they take care of the basics - properly preparing your annual accounts and tax returns. But it isn't just about technical competence - it matters how it is delivered. You should be able to develop good working relationships with people who can explain things at the right level for you.
Are you considering setting up a branch office or subsidiary company in the UK? Are you looking for help with accounting services? Herbert Parnell can advise you on the important questions related to doing business in a new country. What are the obligations relating to tax (registration, submitting returns, making payments).

One of the worst places you could work at - get paid low rates and charged out at high ones. very little training. no tolerance or compassion for staff. typical hard nosed accountants - it's all about profit. not worthy.
D. Wonnacott, owner Intrac Training
Herbert Parnell are always on time and thorough. They cope with whatever we throw at them, and I appreciate the fact that they will come back to me if things need clarification. Also working with the same people over the years has help me to establish a trusted relationship.

We are not accountants. We just want a good job done and communicated in a simple way. Herbert Parnell excels at this. They provide an outstanding service and are very responsive to our enquiries and requests.
