About Us
Founded in 2017, Mayflower Accountancy & Tax was born out of a desire to change the accountant stereotype—from impersonal compliance work into a proactive, personable partnership. Our founders collectively bring three decades of industry and practice experience, helping businesses and individuals navigate growth and tax with clarity and confidence.
Born in Essex, we remain rooted in the traditions and tight-knit character of the Home Counties, while offering support to clients across the UK.
Our Why
We started Mayflower because we believe accounting should empower rather than just comply:
- We hate being seen as “boring, backward-looking and unenthusiastic”—so we set out to build a firm that communicates, collaborates, and cares. As James Colvin puts it, “we get the compliance done … but we’re about so much more.”
- Our joy comes from real-world impact: helping clients fix data gaps, streamline finances, and make growth happen—even during challenging times like COVID‑19.
Our Values: The Mayflower Way
At the heart of our working ethos are four guiding values:
- Personal, people first – We’re not B2B, we’re person-to-person. Empathy, personality and real connection matter.
- Clarity, in everything – From transparent pricing to clear, jargon-free advice, everything we do is honest and unambiguous. We keep you informed on the latest legislation and compliance changes—so you’re always confident in your numbers and your decisions.
- Consistently reliable – We do what we say we’ll do – on time, every time. You can trust us to meet deadlines, ensure accuracy, and respond promptly. Reliability isn’t just a service standard for us – it’s a promise.
- Technology that empowers – We use cloud tools, real-time data, and smart automation to make finance faster, clearer and more useful. But we don’t stop there – we train our clients to get the most out of it, turning tech into a true enabler of growth.
