Based in Ongar, Essex, our number one aim is to focus on our clients.
Professional: Transform Accounting are Chartered Management Accountants and hold a current CIMA Practising certificate. We are also members of the Association of Taxation Technicians. This means we adhere to the highest standards of professionalism and ethics in our work.
Personalised Service: We are a small, independent Chartered Management Accounting practice where our clients are our priority. This allows us to offer a much more personalised service to our clients than many other firms.
Proactive: As your accountant, our role is to help you navigate the financial and tax legislation, not just to ensure you comply, but to make sure your affairs are structured in the most effective way. We will do this by proactively making suggestions to maximise your wealth outcomes.
Accessible: Need to reach us in a hurry? Call us to discuss issues as they happen, or if the matter is less urgent simply e-mail us for a 24 hour response. You can even mail or e-mail your tax return if you'd prefer not to meet in person. We are also available for video conferencing via Skype or FaceTime.
Our philosophy: Utilise modern technology, keep our costs low and always be up to date with the latest finance and taxation regulations to enable us to deliver exceptional service to our clients. We believe in providing a personalised service that goes way beyond an annual set of accounts and tax return.
Easy to Understand: We appreciate that not everyone is an accountant. We only speak plain English and will take time to fully explain important matters. It is our job to explain complex tax and financial concepts in plain English to help you make informed decisions. We take pride in being accountants for small business, and enjoy working with new business start ups. Equally, if you are an individual requiring assistance with your tax return, we are here to help.

I could not recommend Transform Accounting enough. They have been superb and as we have grown as a company, they
have grown with us and now are an integral part of our business. From payroll, year ends and VAT returns right through
to corporate planning and advice, they have always given us a great service.

Jacinta's work with her local Scout Group has brought a level of professionalism and expertise that has greatly benefited
the charity. Her hard work and attention to detail helped the Group produce one of the smartest and easy to understand
annual reports I've seen in a Scout Group for many years.
Matt Mills (Deputy County Commissioner) - Essex Scouts
Jacinta has been my accountant since I started my own business and I have been delighted with the service I have received.
She was fantastic at giving me all the advice and support I needed when everything was still very new to me, and I wouldn't
hesitate to recommend her to anyone else in the same situation.
