About Us
Our clients’ businesses are at the heart of our business.
Our commitment to your business is unwavering. Our full-service offering always supports your strategy, whilst simplifying every accountancy process.
We firmly believe that we can help you meet your goals and objectives.
We do this by offering you the great benefits that mark us out as an exceptional accountancy practice in Bristol.

Our History
MGB Accountants was formed in 2013, when we took over the practice of David Wilson in Westbury on Trym. Shortly thereafter, we moved out of David’s office to our current base in Redland. Since 2013 we have grown both organically and through some small acquisitions. In 2015 we acquired the Juniper Accountancy and in 2019 we acquired Sarah Birch – both sole practitioners in Bristol. These acquisitions, along with natural growth through client referrals have seen us grow to eight employees spread across three offices – in Redland, Thornbury and Wotton under Edge.
Focus
Throughout this time, our focus has been on delivering a quality, professional, friendly and proactive service for our clients. All of our work is undertaken on a fixed fee basis, so our clients always know where they stand in terms of our charges – most electing to pay their fees by monthly standing order. As a firm, we do not keep timesheets, so there is no “clock ticking” when we are talking to our clients – and we find that this helps our clients know that they can contact us to discuss issues in the knowledge that they will not receive a bill for the time! We pride ourselves on our client retention rate, and typically we only part ways with a client when their business closes down.

Why Us
- Fixed fees
Our clients always know where they stand with our charges; all work is quoted and agreed up front with the option to pay on completion or monthly via standing order.
- Approachable
We offer a personable service to our clients. Our team are all approachable and friendly and will go the extra mile to support the needs of our customers.
- Proactive
We consider our job to be much more than creating a set of accounts at the end of the year. We actively encourage our clients to contact us throughout the year, and particularly when something major is happening with their business so that we can offer real-time advice. We meet with our clients typically twice a year to discuss tax planning opportunities;
Our Team
With the growth of MGB Accountants has come team expansion, we are now a squad of 8 spread across the 3 office locations. With many years’ experience between the team, you can be sure that your requirements will be dealt with efficiently and appropriately. A friendly and approachable bunch, all willing to go above and beyond to support the business and our client’s needs.
