Our firm was founded by Arthur Preston in 1876. Arthur was a founding member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, professionalising and shaping the accountancy sector we know today.

Arthur’s spirit of continually striving for better – not following the norm if it’s not right – lives on in us.

In 145 years we have seen it all; wars, recessions, booms, technological revolutions – not to mention a global pandemic. Our heritage is evidence of our adeptness to help our clients thrive and survive, whatever comes their way.

Strategic partnership and advice

We help our clients make important decisions and strategic shifts with well researched, personalised advice and support. From tax strategies and succession planning, to restructuring, and acquisition and mergers.
