The Directors pride themselves in the personal interest they take in their clients and strive to provide a high quality service. The intention is to grow the practice, but not at the expense of the Directors’ personal involvement in the client’s business. Our aim is to be part of your team, working together with yourselves and your other professional advisers to achieve your goals.
In order to encourage this atmosphere the practice structures its charges so as not to discourage contact. Wherever possible a written quotation in advance of work being undertaken is provided. Annual accounting and taxation matters are quoted for on a package basis with an allowance built in for incidental advice and clients are positively encouraged to avail themselves of this service.
We are very proud of our offices and are pleased to see anyone who calls in; however, we regularly visit our clients’ homes or business premises if it is more convenient for them. Whether you are already a client or you are interested in becoming a client you are welcome to choose the location for any meeting. The first meeting with prospective clients is always free of charge and on a no obligation basis.
Ian is a deacon and treasurer of Preston Baptist Church, Paignton and Marianne attends the Methodist Church in Bovey Tracey. They believe that high ethical standards not only should be, but can be maintained in business, even in this day and age. This is reflected by the practice’s engagement of industrial pastors who are available to both staff and clients.
We pride ourselves on delivering the best quality advice. We recognise that the most technically innovative solution to a problem may not always prove to be the most practical. We do not believe that the "tax tail should wag the commercial dog.
Our mission statement is:
To be the firm which provides advice which is affordable, commercial, practical and above all relevant.
Our motto is, "Barretts takes care of business"
