Rochesters Chartered Accountants

Established in 1985 Rochesters Chartered Accountants has been in the St. Paul’s Jewellery Quarter area for thirty years and is headed up by the founder Stephen Rochester & Peter Hewston, Stephen’s business partner together with twenty full-time staff . The Practice has qualified individuals to enable it to meet the needs and wants of the clients which can be summarised by the ethos of company “ needing it to be done right and wanting us to make a difference.” To enable the Practice to live up to this mantra we have: 1. Tax specialists dealing with compliance (a need) and bespoke planning (a want), which really amounts to tax planning. The people in this department deal with the full range of taxes. We have the in-house expertise for statutory valuations which are often required for share transfers. 2. Corporate finance specialists regarding the production of forecasts and dealing with the whole process of buying or selling a Company. We have many years’ experience dealing with this area and helping the client coping with the process 3. Compliance specialists regarding audit and accounting (normally both aspects are needs).We particularly have a niche for auditing which can be underrated but essentially is there to reassure Owners and managers that the figures are true and fair and business partners that they are dealing with a Company which has substantiated accounts 4. Management advisory on processes, people and strategy (all wants). Within the Practice we have seen clients succeed and fail and from that experience can help new and existing businesses take on the best aspects of a successful business and avoid the pitfalls of the failures. 5. Thinking, an obvious point but sometimes over looked by Accountants. We think good advisory comes from periodic meetings throughout the year and pre year end meeting . If your advisers are characterised by just the “doing of the job” perhaps you should consider talking with us.
