Little and Company Accountants are a general practice with clients ranging from personal tax and small businesses to audited limited companies. Our particular specialism is providing advice to doctors and medical practices.

Simon Dudfield Little and Company Managing Partner

As members of the Association of Independent Specialist Medical Accountants, AISMA, we have access to powerful nationwide statistical information, which enables us to benchmark a practice and provide focused advice on improving financial performance. Through our experience in medical accounting we can identify tax saving and planning opportunities so that you can build a stronger, healthier practice. And because we appreciate the time pressures involved in running a practice our advice will be concise, pertinent and effective.

We have been considering the position of the firm in the context of the needs of our clients in today’s world for some time. Having given this a great deal of thought and discussion we knew there would be considerable benefits from joining forces with another firm to offer a broad range of specialist services to our clients, both now and as we move forward in the digital age. We have known the Partners of Randall & Payne for a long time; they come from similar roots to ours and have shared the same training group with us for many years. After having detailed discussions and looking at this carefully we were pleased to successfully merge Little and Company with Randall & Payne LLP. We are convinced that the values and cultures of both firms align to work well together and that this will be of great benefit to us all.

I will be remaining with the firm as a Director and working closely with Randall & Payne’s senior team, I am pleased that there will be very little change from the service provision the Little and Company clients are accustomed to, except for our ability to offer some exciting new services and specialisms.
