BACKGROUND

Bourne & Co was founded in 1924 by Thomas Bourne with the mission to become the area's leading accountancy practice.

With over 75 years in the accountancy business, practice is something we have plenty of. Our management team has over two hundred years of commercial know how and business knowledge between them. Over that time ‘Bournes’ have helped and developed thousands of local businesses. These range from "one man bands" to larger companies, including PLC's.

It is with this background that our top priority is to add value to your business.

Our aim is to give a very high level of personal service to our clients. We aim to give clients our full attention and answer their questions quickly and comprehensively. We always try to have enough time to go that step further for our clients to make sure that the job is completed to their and our satisfaction, dealing with ALL the issues identified.

We believe that there is a knowledge gap in many small and medium sized enterprises. They cannot afford full-time financial expertise but would really benefit and value someone answering their day-to-day problems. We can fill this gap by taking part in their management meetings or by being a sounding board for ideas.
