Who we are
Independent by nature, united by purpose
Buzzacott is one of the UK's largest independent accountancy and advisory firms. Since 1919 we have helped businesses, individuals and not-for-profits make sound financial decisions, with specialist advice and people who stay with them for the long term.
Our services span audit and assurance, business services, tax and advisory, supporting clients through every stage of their journey.
Independence you can feel
As many firms have been bought by outside investors, we have chosen to remain independent. That means:
Advice without agenda
We recommend what’s right for you, with no pressure to hit investor targets
Continuity you can count on
The partners and team who know your affairs are there year after year
Decisions made for the long term
We invest in quality, training and relationships, not short-term returns
Our history
From a single practice on Fleet Street to a firm of 600+ people
Our beginnings
Fred Buzzacott, a munitions accountant from Devon established the practice on Fleet Street.
Foundations for growth
Watson O’Regan & co acquired Buzzacott Lillywhite, laying the foundations for what would become Buzzacott.
Strategic expansion
Partners Brian O'Regan and David Watson drove the firm’s growth through a merger with Down Kilner and Bobby Vincent, who later becomes Chairman.
The acquisition of Lescher Stephens strengthened the firm’s position as a specialist adviser to charities.
Evolving our expertise
A new generation of partners focused on niche specialisms, shifting the firm from service-based departments to client-focused teams.
The acquisition of Fiscal Solutions expanded the firm’s VAT expertise.
A new chapter
We moved to 130 Wood Street, our current base, and achieved zero landfill.
In 2014, we saved 56 tonnes of CO2 through our recycling initiatives.
Proudly independent
In an era of consolidation, we remain one of the few independent firms, and the largest single-office accountancy practice in the UK.
