About Us

Berkeley Bate Chartered Accountants has been established in Bath since 1990 and is one of the region's foremost ethical accountancy practices specialising in Small to Medium size Enterprises (SME’s).

Our knowledge and experience is unrivalled in this business sector, whether you’re a start up, butcher, baker, candlestick-maker, an established trading company, or a high net worth individual.

Berkeley Bate is a proactive accountancy practice with a one-stop shop approach to your business needs.

An initial meeting to discuss your Tax and Accountancy requirements is free of charge.

A meeting with an Executive Associate regarding more general business issues is sponsored by the Institute for Independent Business and is therefore also free of charge

It costs nothing to talk, as they say, but you will feel better having done so!

Celebrating 20 years

I asked Janice what the key to the success of Berkeley Bate has been and why the practice is so popular with clients, “Oh, that’s easy” she replied “Clients become friends, so they feel free to talk openly about their businesses and what they’re trying to achieve; they often use us as a sounding board, talking out ideas knowing that they’ll be given an honest opinion and based on sound common sense!

From my point of view, I just love people. I’m very pro-active, I keep in touch and I like to add value, making sure my clients watch their costs and maximise their bottom line, and then I like saving them as much tax as possible!”

The Key to Success?

Well, Berkeley Bate stands tall amongst Accountants: they’d be the first to tell you that they’re a small general practice, but what they offer owner-managers is first class service, reliable advice and an accountant you actually look forward to seeing. And there’s not many can say that!
