Accountancy Expertise Across Many Sectors
Purcells has built its practice over many years working with clients from an exceptionally wide range of business sectors and professions. This breadth of experience means we bring genuine, practical insight to each client engagement — we understand the commercial realities, regulatory considerations, and typical financial challenges faced by your type of organisation.
Whilst we tailor our approach to every individual client, our familiarity with so many industries means you benefit from accumulated knowledge that a generalist practice may lack. From sole traders to substantial limited companies, from registered charities to businesses with international operations, Purcells has the experience to serve you effectively.
Charities & Not-for-Profit
We have specialist expertise in charity accounts and audits, including compliance with the Charities Act and Charity Commission reporting requirements. We understand the particular governance and financial reporting obligations that charities face and work closely with trustees to meet them.
Property Companies
We act for residential and commercial property companies on accounts, tax, and audit matters. We are experienced in dealing with the specific tax considerations affecting property businesses, including SDLT, capital gains, and property income tax planning.
Medical & Dental Practices
We provide accountancy and tax services to doctors, dentists, and other healthcare professionals, including NHS and private practitioners. We understand the specific partnership and practice structures common in this sector and advise accordingly.
Solicitors & Legal Firms
We act for solicitors and legal practices and are familiar with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) accounts rules and reporting requirements. We also provide CPD courses specifically designed for legal professionals.
International & Foreign Interests
We have considerable experience advising UK-resident companies that operate internationally — including businesses with foreign branches, overseas subsidiaries, or international shareholders. Cross-border tax and audit matters require specialist knowledge, and this is a core strength of our firm.
Construction & Engineering
We assist construction businesses and engineering firms with accounts, tax, CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) compliance, VAT, and audit services. We understand the project-based nature of this industry and the cash flow challenges it can present.
Retail & Wholesale
We provide accounts, VAT, and tax services for retailers and wholesalers, including businesses involved in import and export. We are experienced in helping trading businesses manage their financial compliance efficiently.
Pharmacies & Opticians
We serve independent pharmacies, dispensing practices, and opticians with full accountancy and tax services. We understand the regulatory environment these businesses operate in and provide tailored advice accordingly.
Technology & Computer Industry
We act for IT businesses, software developers, and technology companies on accounts, R&D tax relief claims, tax planning, and audit. We understand the growth-focused nature of technology businesses and provide advice that supports their ambitions.
