John Helps  - Skingle Helps & Co

We operate in an informal but fully professional home environment, with a friendly husband-and-wife team backed up by a few trusted staff.  There is low staff turnover so you can always access the individual you need to speak to.

John Helps has been qualified for more than 25 years, so you can be confident we offer sound accountancy advice. And we don't bear the overheads of formal offices, so we can charge a lower hourly rate to make skilled accountancy more affordable.

As a small firm, we value every client and look after each one with a uniquely personal approach.

If you are fed up with the costs and lack of continuity at bigger firms, why not contact us?

Most of our clients are based in South East England, but we also work with individuals, sole traders, partnerships, businesses and limited companies from all over the UK and worldwide. We specialise in accountancy for the charitable sector including charities, churches and old people’s homes. We don’t advertise, as the majority of our clients are recommended to us via word-of-mouth.

Our services

We offer all the services you’d expect from a local accountancy practice and registered auditors, including:
