About the practice

A small practice,
on purpose.

Farthing & Co. has kept the books for Lewes businesses since 1987. Still six people, still in the same building, and still answering the phone.

How we work

Three promises we keep.

01

Published fees

Every fee is on this website. The quote you get is the bill you pay.

02

Plain English

No jargon, and no report you can’t read in five minutes.

03

A named person

One accountant who knows your business — and answers the phone.
