Meet the Team
Rupert Carthy (Director)
Rupert set up this accountancy business in 2001 (ten years ago). Since then he has grown this business from one man working at home to the town centre offices and seven staff we see today. Rupert says many small businesses fail to make it to their first anniversary let alone their tenth because they don’t have the skills to recognise and change things. Being able to talk things through with someone who knows the theory and has been through this experience is invaluable to his clients. Rupert is married with two children and has followed West Bromwich Albion Football Club for many years.
