James Smith (Accountant)

This plain-English book tells you everything you need to know about small business, bookkeeping, cashflow, VAT, tax returns and more. James Smith, Chartered Accountant is a small practice based in West Hanney, Wantage, close to Oxford. Our principal James Smith, as pictured when we started out in early 2003, originally trained with KPMG back in 1995 and has since worked in industry in a variety of roles before commencing his own accounting practice. There are three general complaints about accountants, their fees, their service and lack of business acumen.

This is what our Principle James Smith has to say on these three key matters. Wherever possible I agree fixed fees in advance before the commencement of any work. I don't generally work on an hourly fee basis, and I certainly don't set a stopwatch when you call or email. We don't compete for work on price but for the quality of service provided and we present very good value for money.
