Hugh Davies arrived in Salisbury in 1986 and was a partner in a number of firms before setting up his own practice in 2001. This was the only way he felt he could do accountancy in the way that he wanted to - putting the needs of the individual client at the heart of the business rather than treating them as just another number. Ian Sheekey joined the firm in 2004 and Karen Bennett, who joined the firm in 2000, became part of the management team in 2011. Ian left the firm in 2017 to pursue his own career. The firm now prides itself on being a small independent firm - much like its clients. We believe that we can only be successful if our clients are successful and will do everything that we can to support our clients. The old fashioned idea of an accountant sitting across a desk and giving judgement on things that happened a long time ago is not what we do - we want to work collaboratively with our clients to help in the day to day financial problems of running a business. It is great to have successful and profitable clients but we also like to make time to help those who are struggling as well. Efficient use of technology is extremely important to us - both in helping us to present financial information in a format that is easily understandable and in keeping our costs competitive.
