Letʼs talk.
How do we nurture our clientsʼ growth?
Our structured, value-led and flexible approach offers three tiered packages for Accountancy and Compliance: Core, Growth and Prosper.
This enables our clients to choose the service level that best meets their current needs, while providing a clear path to upgrade as they grow
to provide more comprehensive support when itʼs needed.
For when your business needs an experienced CFO, but not necessarily a full-time hire. We can provide the seasoned, board-level expertise you need to guide your financial strategy and ensure your business goals become business reality.
This goes beyond accountancy, this is senior strategic CFO support to drive your business forward. An on-demand, fractional, consulting CFO who can be brought onboard rapidly and without the high costs of acquiring and retaining a full-time one.
Clarity and confidence in complex tax situations. Through our Tax Matters service, you gain direct
access to leading specialists across critical fields including M&A, exit strategies, audits, and investor readiness. This premium service is designed to provide the highest level of insight and assurance, exactly when your business needs it most.

Meet The Partners
Work with seasoned professional experts who will be with you for the long term.
Amanda Williams
FCA - DIRECTOR
Having qualified in 1990, I have been advising clients as a partner in practice since 1995. Iʼm equally at home providing tax advice to an individual or transaction support to a large owner-managed business. My technical knowledge covering a range of business sectors
is bolstered by the practical experience of running a business of my own.
Away from the office, I enjoy spending time with friends at museums, galleries and the cinema, with The Proms and The London Film Festival being annual highlights. I also enjoy regular walks around Londonʼs parks, with Richmond Park being my favourite and most convenient.
Thomas Pottinger
FCA - DIRECTOR
Iʼm a seasoned Chartered Accountant and Director at Porter Garland. I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2003 and have since built over two decades of experience in advising a broad and diverse portfolio of corporate clients.
Throughout my career, I have developed strong, long-term relationships, giving me deep insight into multiple business sectors, including property, consultancy/freelancers, retail, and manufacturing. I believe in ʻnurturing your growthʼ and Iʼm passionate about supporting my clients as if their business was my own.
Away from the office, I value family life highly. I enjoy walking, gardening, dining out, swimming, and holidaying with my wife and daughter.
