As our name suggests, we specialise in advice to small businesses whether they be sole traders, partnerships or limited companies.

A full range of services is available including accounts preparation, personal and corporate tax, book keeping, VAT and payroll.

With three partners, two consultants and thirty staff we are equipped to properly service the needs of our demanding client base.

Although we deal with a large client number the individual fees charged at the small business unit fall within a narrow band. It is for this reason that it has been possible to provide every client with a partner relationship and create a genuine feeling amongst the clients, that their affairs are being dealt with professionally.

We have also invested in the latest technology ensuring that our clients' affairs are dealt with accurately and efficiently. Our taxation software is the market leader being used by international firms of accountants such as Deloitte Touche and Price Waterhouse Coopers.

We would be delighted to provide a free initial consultation in order that you may be made aware of what being a client of Cowgill Holloway SBU really means.
