Our story

Why we stay independent

Harbour & Hale started in Bristol in 2009 with a simple idea: small businesses deserve an accountant who answers the phone, explains things plainly and charges a fair, fixed fee.

We have stayed independent ever since. No sales targets and no hidden extras: just chartered accountants who know your business and keep your accounts, tax and payroll on track.

Many of our clients have been with us for years, and most came to us through a friend's recommendation.
