Sharing Your Goals

Hollis and Co started life when Peter Hollis took the leap of faith from being a partner in a national firm of chartered accountants to set up his own business. That particular leap into the unknown was tinged with uncertainty and insecurity, but most of all it was exciting. At Hollis and Co, we never forget that our clients have all taken that leap at least once.

We understand what it’s like to be an owner-manager of a business. No manager likes facing problems, so our aim is to take care of things for you so problems never arise. And if they do crop up, we’re right beside you to tackle them.

We believe in strong relationships. Each of our clients has a dedicated client manager with a wide range of skills. That way we can really get to know you, understand your ambitions and be the first person you call when you need advice or assistance.

We make it our business to ensure we get things right first time and that every member of our team is equipped with up-to-date skills and business knowledge. If we can’t solve a problem or answer a question right away, we’ll go away to find out how and get back to you quickly.

If you don’t have the resources for an in-house finance manager, we’ll provide the relevant services. If you do have in-house expertise, we’ll fit in seamlessly, complementing and bolstering your existing resource to become a valued member of your team.

Our client base is spread across a wide range of sectors and industries and across the UK. They range in size, from £10,000 turnover to £10 million. But they all share a personal commitment to what they do and the business they are trying to build – and we share that with them.
