Who We Are
A Trusted Name in London Accountancy
Purcells is a long-established firm of Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditors based in Quex Road, West Hampstead, London. We have been serving businesses, charities, professional organisations, and individuals for many years, building a reputation grounded in technical excellence, professional integrity, and genuinely personal service.
Our firm provides the full range of accountancy, tax, and audit services that clients expect from a highly competent practice. Beyond the standard core services, we have developed particular expertise in two specialist areas: auditing charities and not-for-profit organisations, and providing audit and tax advice to UK-resident companies with foreign branches, subsidiaries, or cross-border operations. These are areas where depth of experience matters enormously, and where our team consistently delivers.
We act for clients across a wide range of industries and professions — from medical and dental practices to construction companies, property firms, solicitors, retailers, and international businesses. Our client base is as diverse as London itself, and we are proud to have supported many of our clients over extended periods, often across multiple stages of business growth.
At Purcells, you will always deal directly with a partner. We do not pass work down to junior staff without proper oversight, and we do not treat clients as numbers. Our approach is straightforward: understand your situation fully, give clear and practical advice, and help you remain compliant whilst making the most of every legitimate opportunity.
We are regulated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) and are fully registered as auditors. You can be confident that the advice and work you receive from us meets the highest professional standards.
If you are considering engaging an accountant whether for the first time or as a change from your existing firm we warmly invite you to contact us. We offer a free initial consultation with no obligation on either side, and we would be delighted to discuss how we might be able to help you.
