Sobell Rhodes LLP was born in 1995 from a deep desire by the founding partners, Andrew, Melvyn and Selwyn, to shake off the traditional and sometimes lacklustre image of accounting firms, to one that provided an exciting environment for our people to work in and demonstrably contributed to the business growth and profitability of our clients.

We had previously been partners in an accounting firm that had grown from three partners and a single office, to twelve partners and four offices. Unfortunately, along that growth curve the firm had lost some of its integrity and commitment to client service.

To take over the clients and staff, plus finance the working capital of our new practice, we had to raise funds of almost £1 million. Our bank had faith in us as people, and the viability of our business plan. On 1st May 1995 we opened the doors to Sobell Rhodes.
