JGA is the firm of chartered accountants founded by John Grogan in 2009, through which John continues the practice which he previously conducted for over 20 years as a partner in PKF (UK) LLP, the former top-ten national firm that became part of BDO LLP following a merger in 2013.
Although we are proud to provide a range of traditional accountancy services to a small and select group of retained clients, including businesses and individuals, the vast majority of our work is forensic, or expert witness, work where we are instructed by solicitors to provide reports to assist the Courts in litigation matters where accountancy issues arise.
We specialise in matrimonial cases only, to the exclusion of all other work apart from attending to the affairs of our small and select portfolio of general practice clients.We are one of the few genuine expert witness practices, whose credentials to provide expert evidence to the Courts are founded on the real and up to date day to day experience in mainstream accountancy practice which comes from our involvement in the affairs of our retained clients.
