WHY CHOOSE US?
It's accountancy, just not as you've seen it before...
Most accountants focus on helping their clients to comply, once a year. We’re strategic accountants. We focus on helping our clients to grow, throughout the year.
After one meeting with us, you’ll realise that we’re different.
Our people are positive, proactive, commercial and professional, with personality.
We will match your level of ambition. If you want to grow and succeed, we’ll bring the energy, strategy, ambition, and commitment to help you get there.
Above all, we'll make sure you get the accurate financial data and strategic advice you need to make better decisions and grow your business.
Choosing an accountant is one of the most critical decisions a business owner can make, and after ten years in business, the thought of changing was daunting. However, moving to The Uncommon Practice in March 2025 has proven to be one of the best decisions I have made, and my only regret is not doing it sooner. The team at The Uncommon Practice are more than just accountants; they are true partners who are genuinely invested in their clients' success. I highly recommend them to any business owner looking for a dedicated and forward-thinking team..

SAM REGAN
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
I love working with an accountant who understands entrepreneurship and seeks to support it, rather than stifle it.
COMPANY DIRECTOR
ZACHARY POOLE
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Wow! It's a rare day when I feel like a director, instead of just another day in the office. Just to be able to walk into a board room, and see a professional for specialist advice, it really feels like a board meeting of my own company, with specialists around the table, specialists who listen to my crazy insane ideas and explain what would and would not work. Feedback from previous meeting was taken on board, urgent actions completed same day. No stuffy suits, just something very uncommon and fresh and enough time to be heard and understood.
COMPANY DIRECTOR
GETH THOMAS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I cannot emphasise enough how relieved I am to have The Uncommon practice deal with all my tax affairs and accountancy needs. I just wish I'd found you 5 years ago when I started this mad journey.

Great team. Knowledgeable, friendly but super efficient. The people that have helped me in the past 5 years or so have been top drawer. I enjoy accounts time and I know you carry my interests at the heart of what you do.
COMPANY DIRECTOR
CHRISTOPHER BATES
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
They have been fantastic for the whole duration we’ve used them. They came highly recommended and after struggling for two years to find good support for our e-commerce business we haven’t looked back. Great quality service from a friendly and efficient team who meet all of our business needs. We wouldn’t use anyone else.
COMPANY DIRECTOR
AMY NEWMAN
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
For a creative business, accounts are honestly last on the list of things we want to be doing however The Uncommon Practice have been incredible! Being able to keep track of what’s happening financially whilst not having to complete a course in accounting is exactly what is needed for my business. The team are a constant source of support and no question is too small or insignificant. After being recommended by a friend I can’t wait to recommend them to another small business owner. They’re amazing!
