Our Story
At Lawrence & Co, we believe that your success is directly linked to ours. Founded on the principle that accountancy should be approachable, transparent, and genuinely helpful, we've built a firm that puts clients first—not compliance checklists.
We started with a simple observation: most accountancy firms make their clients feel like a burden. They hide behind jargon, charge by the hour, and treat accounting as a necessary evil rather than a strategic advantage. We decided to do things differently. We moved away from the traditional compliance-only model toward a truly advisory-led approach—one where we help you make better business decisions, plan for growth, and minimize your tax burden proactively.
Our mission is clear: To provide approachable, fixed-fee accountancy and advisory services that simplify compliance, support better decisions, and help clients grow with confidence.
This commitment earned us recognition as the 2013 AVN Rising Star Award winner—a milestone that reflects our dedication to innovation and client-focused service. But more importantly, it reflects what our clients tell us every day: that we've changed how they think about their accountant.
Today, we're a team of ICAEW-qualified professionals in Harrow serving businesses across the UK. We answer calls within two rings. We speak in plain English. We charge fixed fees with no surprises. And we're genuinely invested in your business growth. That's not just who we are—it's a promise we make to every client, every single day.
