§ ABOUT
A small firm, on purpose.
Countwell is a team of four chartered accountants and tax advisers in Shoreditch. We stay small so that every client works with people who know their file.
§01 — OUR STORY
Fifteen years of straight answers.
Eleanor Hart opened Countwell in 2009 after a decade at a large practice, where clients waited weeks for a reply and paid by the hour for every question. She wanted a firm that worked the other way round.
Today we look after more than 400 individuals and small businesses. The idea has not changed: a fixed fee agreed in writing, one accountant who knows your numbers, and returns filed weeks before the deadline.
§02 — HOW WE WORK
Three rules we never break.
01
Fixed fees, in writing
You know the price before we start. If the work changes, we agree the new fee with you first.
02
One accountant, one file
The same person looks after your books every month, so you never have to explain things twice.
03
Deadlines kept early
Returns are prepared and filed weeks before the deadline, never on the last day.
§03 — THE TEAM
The people behind your numbers.
