In our recruitment we actively seek to engage staff who have the right technical skills, suitable experience, and above all the ability to communicate. New clients often tell us that nobody has ever taken the time or trouble to explain their accounts to them before, or that it is refreshing to talk to somebody who is genuinely interested in listening to what they have to say about their business.
We are always available to bring to the table some fresh thinking or to act as a sounding board for clients' own ideas and we consider ourselves to be part of each client's management team. Whether it is a one-man operation or a multi-million pound turnover company with many staff and several locations, we are able to "look in" from the outside to help focus, perhaps where the full time management, close to the "coal face" as they inevitably are, cannot readily see.

The history of Brett Pittwood dates back to 1991 when Michael Brett and Brian Pittwood left much larger firms to set up their own respective practices.
They came together with the incorporation of the company in 1998 with a view to establishing a plain speaking and affordable accountancy and taxation service for owner managed businesses (OMBs) and private individuals.
The true general practice accountant seems to be something of a dying breed now that larger firms are encouraging early specialisation for their trainees but we still feel that it is valuable to develop skills across the board.

Careful attention to staff selection has paid off over the years and our team of 12 partners and staff has an enviable record of continuity.
Over half of this number have been with us for at least ten years and we generally tend not to lose people.
We strongly believe that dedicated and motivated staff will be most effective in providing excellent service to our clients.
In any service based business the staff are the key to success; their time is the predominant ingredient in our production cycle.

We try not to present documents to clients with a request to "sign this" without feeling confident that the client knows what it is he is signing.
We rarely lose staff, so we are able to offer an unparalleled level of continuity.
So often we hear from new clients switching to us, "I never knew who was dealing with my affairs".
