Accountants who speak your language
Consultants. Advisors. HMRC whisperers.
Welcome to Ellis Atkins, an established (and growing), friendly (yet dynamic) accountancy practice led by Partners James Bray and Philip Longstaff
Accountants are widely believed to be – shall we say – a little on the dull side. The kind of people who will always choose a spreadsheet and an early night over skydiving at dawn. And that’s simply not the case. Although we do really like spreadsheets. And who doesn’t love an early night? And while we haven’t got round to sky-diving at dawn (yet), it’s definitely, maybe on the cards. At some point.
All we’re saying is: we’re accountants, but we’re not boring.
On the contrary, we’d like to do something very un-boring. We’d like to help you banish your accountancy anxiety and chase off your payroll woes with our nonsense-free approach and seamless processes.
Nothing boring about that.
Who we help
Businesses
We offer pragmatic consultancy, compliance and advisory services. From solo entrepreneurs to large corporations, we’re so much more than just Corporation Tax Returns (although we are exceptionally good at these).
Individuals
Need some help hacking through your personal tax jungle? We hear you. We can help deal with self-assessment, capital gains tax reporting, trusts and estates and everything in between.
Something different
We can also offer bespoke services (that you may not expect us to), designed to suit your specific needs such as HR, business recovery and business valuation to name but a few. Try us.
