If you need an accountant to take the stress out of accounts, tax and book keeping to free up time to work on work on your business, then look no further. As a qualified accountant I provide my clients with a friendly but professional service, whilst always aiming to add value. I started out in 1986 and have worked with three local firms of accountants before in 2007 I decided I had sufficient experience to start up on my own. Although I had a small client base that have followed me throughout my career I had initially to rely on subcontracting to some of my previous employments before I had grown my client base to a level that it could support me in paying the mortgage, and three teenage children through various interests, family holidays etc. The growth in my client database has been down to word of mouth and my firms greatest asset my life partner Heather Allen whose career and qualifications have followed on a very similar basis to my own . Heather and I make no secret of the fact that we live and work together. How does this help my clients? Well I firmly believe that Heather's and my life and professional experience help us to empathise with our clients needs. RBH Associates aim is to provide a friendly but professional service where all of our clients are valued clients. Our professional service comes from all of the hard work Heather and I have gone through to qualify as Chartered Certified Accountants and to be asked by the ACCA to become Fellows to the Association of Chartered Certified Accounts. In addition to this I had to attend the ACCA's week long residential course, pass course work and a three hour exam set by the ACCA so that I could obtain my practising certificate in 2002. Both Heather and I keep our professional training up to the standards required by the ACCA. As my ability to be able to retain my Practising Certificate and therefore my livelihood is also tied into our professional training I firmly believe that this provides the basis as to why we both embrace and maintain the quality assurance expected by our Association. A level of quality that our clients expect and rely on.
