We are ABVK - qualified accountants and tax advisors based in Waltham Abbey. We provide a comprehensive range of services to small businesses and individuals in Essex and East London, but we're much more than your average accountancy firm.

ABVK was established, as B J Sexton & Co, in the early 1990s and right from the start we've seen ourselves as our clients' business partners. We're not the kind of practice that sees accountancy as a mixture of numbers, compliance and statutory submissions. Important as these are, we see our role as making a direct and positive contribution to the growth and financial success of our clients and their businesses. If that sounds good to you, why not get in touch? Like most of our clients, we're a small business - just four people.
We understand that small businesses, sole traders and individual entrepreneurs want to get on with their own work, and not have to worry about accounting, taxation, statutory compliance and the like. That's why we provide a comprehensive range of services to take all that off your shoulders. We can provide all the services you need, from book-keeping to financial control, with everything in between.
At ABVK, we work closely with our clients at every stage of the relationship. This enables us to spot issues before they become major problems, and to provide a service that meets the requirements of the individual client, whatever their sector or specialisation. There are all sorts of reasons for starting your own business, but whatever the reason, it can be a daunting process - and it can also be very distracting. With our help, everything will be simplified, so all of the administration and paperwork is dealt with quickly and efficiently.
There are lots of ancillary issues that crop up when you run a business, ranging from employee contracts to workplace pensions. When you work with ABVK, you'll be able to call on our help to deal with all of these matters, relying on our extensive experience and knowhow to manage them effectively and efficiently.

Creative people are notoriously bad at keeping an eye on the figures and I find it comforting to be able to call on someone who can professionally manage the nitty-gritty of company accounts. The team at BJ Sexton and Co are fantastically helpful with tax returns and other important matters relating to my business, which leaves me to get on with what I do best!

I moved to BJ Sexton & Co seven years ago, when my business expanded. I was self-employed optician back then, and with my accountants valuable partnership, I am now a proud owner of a company that operates two branches. BJ Sexton & Co has taken over my entire finance department, from bookkeeping to financial advice and tax planning. They also helped me with various issues a small business can face, including raising finance and making financially viable employment decisions. I know that my accounts are in good hands and I can concentrate on developing and growing my business.

Eastway Electrical Contractors have been dealing with BJ Sexton & Co since 2006. I would definitely recommend BJ Sexton & Co, not only because of their professional acumen but also for them being very friendly and responsive to any queries I have. I am always sure that whenever I make a call to them, it is answered quickly and my question is answered promptly. I hope our relationship will continue for many years to come.

I approached BJ Sexton & Co a few years ago when let down by a previous Accountant. Trust was easily built as this team are professional, helpful and approachable - confidence was quickly achieved that my company's best interests are met. Their advice is thoroughly researched and as a small business, I do not have the time or resource to carry out this level of depth with BJ Sexton & Co I have no sleepless nights worrying about Tax or Regulatory issues to be faced. I am confident that my businesses being taken care of in both a thorough and timely manner. I heartily recommend their services to any company small or large.

In 1999 we started a small consulting/training business and we were looking for an accounting firm to handle the tax returns for the business and owners. We visited a range of accountants/accounting services in our area. Most were stuffy and expensive for what we considered to be our simple needs. When we went to BJ Sexton, we were pleasantly surprised. Barry was a friendly Irishman who was much more reasonably priced than his competitors.
We have been happy with their services and prices for the past 14 years. The people in the office are friendly and helpful. They have always given us useful advice/suggestions and they have responded quickly to any questions we have. They have never made us feel unwelcome as customers, just because we're a small business. Unless it's the end of the world, we have no intention of changing accounting firm.
