The Bowes Brooks Difference

Simple, Honest Advice — With No Surprises

We work on fixed monthly fees, with unlimited calls and meetings included — so you can ask questions anytime, without worrying about the cost.

Your first meeting and initial advice are always free.

We speak plain English, not accountancy jargon. You shouldn’t need a finance degree to understand your own numbers — and we’ll explain everything clearly so you feel confident, not confused.

We’ve seen it time and again: when clients understand their accounts and taxes, they make better decisions. That’s why we focus on accessible advice, regular check-ins, and smart tax planning throughout the year.


We're not the cheapest Accountant around and we don't want to be!  We provide a reliable, quality service at a fair price
