Ambitious young accountants make their mark at awards

Finalist: Financial Services Award

Brown & Co is a small firm of chartered accountants with big ambitions. The accountancy industry has changed, and this Lancashire based business is leading that change.

Brown & Co runs a paperless business. They use technology to help clients scale their operations and increase their efficiency. This enables business owners to focus on the important stuff that really matters.

The Brown & Co team purposely works with a small number of clients, enabling them to build closer relationships, provide a better service and ensure it is delivered much more responsively. Clients include many multi-million pound turnover companies in industries from construction to domiciliary franchise care.

Chris Brown, managing director, said: “There are two things that we really love. Tax and technology. Yes, it’s true. There, we said it."

In just the last two years alone, Brown & Co has saved its clients more than £353,847 in tax, through a variety of tax claims such as R&D, capital allowances and other forms of tax planning. As a result, their business has grown by 156 per cent over the same period.
