Our story

Our story starts with our clients

 

Let’s be honest, most people don’t relish getting a call from their accountant, usually signalling an unpleasant conversation about an unexpected issue.

We exist for business owners and individuals who want clarity, reassurance and peace of mind that their finances are in good hands.

 

Before launching Sampson Fielding we realised that businesses often saw accountants as a necessary evil for compliance.

The top complaints we heard again and again from businesses and individuals was that they could never get hold of their accountant and they were never really quite sure they were getting good value for money.

We founded Sampson Fielding in 2020 with the aim of building a client-centred firm, putting the client’s needs and aspirations at the core no matter their scale, industry or size.

 

A firm founded on a closer relationship between client and accountant that operates as an extension of your team.

We believe you should have an accountant who proactively looks after your business; not someone you share a phone call with twice a year or have to chase on the phone to get an answer.

Sampson Fielding blends the experience of advising small to medium-sized businesses and larger multinational organisations. Our team is able to offer a fully scalable service which grows alongside your business.
