Leaders in quality, we provide the very best accountancy and taxation services to SMEs across the Chilterns, and beyond.

Partners for success

Following David Cook’s retirement announcement, we are delighted to announce our successors, Sian and Brett Smith, owners of Accounting practice BAS Associates, established in 2001 and based locally in Wingrave. Sian and Brett share our professional outlook and work ethos, with a focus on developing personal relationships with clients and ensuring that the best value advice is always offered and delivered.

For our clients, The Cook Partnership is very much business as usual from our Tring office; Pam’s role remains unchanged overseeing all taxation services and financial accounts production and our brilliant staff all remain.

This new partnership brings our clients additional services that will complement our current offerings. Alongside accountancy, we will now also offer in-house business coaching, consultancy, estate planning (Wills & LPAs), and access to a free advice line for employment and Health & Safety queries.

Business advice that counts.

From start-ups and growing businesses to established SMEs, our in-house team delivers a full range of services to help you stress less about the numbers, so you can focus on what you do best.

Success stories.

  • Can't recommend them enough

    We approached The Cook Partnership last year, having got rather disillusioned with our existing firm of accountants. We wanted confidence we were behaving correctly, meeting our tax obligations, and getting accurate and timely MI to make good business decisions. The transition from the old accountants to The Cook Partnership was seamless. We really love that we can talk to any of the team for help and advice, whenever we want it.

    Tracey Hobbs, Director

  • Invaluable guidance

    From business start-up to growth, and all the bumps along the way, Pam & David’s advice and guidance has proved invaluable. They’ve fostered a relationship built on trust and transparency, which has no doubt contributed to my personal and professional success. The team are on hand day-to-day to help out with Xero and payroll, and have become an extension of Tonic.

    Viki Brockett, Founder

  • Resubmitted & refunded

    After filing my own Self-Assessment Tax Returns for a number of years, I decided to get some proper advice. The Cook Partnership re-visited my previous three years’ tax returns – after recalculating and re-submitting to HMRC, I received a significant tax refund. Tax expertise you can’t afford to ignore.

    A very happy client

  • We value the whole team

    We really value our long-term relationship with The Cook Partnership, not only for their expertise over a number of general and specialist accountancy and tax areas but also for the warmth, continuity, trust and responsiveness from everyone we deal with at the team.

    Keith Baker, Finance Director

  • There, every step of the way

    When I set up in 2015, The Cook Partnership advised on the most-simple vehicle to run my business through, and as it developed, they saw the changes and explained the benefits of incorporating my business. This has provided flexibility, both now and for the future, and saved a considerable amount of tax. Having been with them now over eight years, I see no reason why I would want to change.

    Darren Queralt, Owner

  • Recommendation paid off

    Despite being paid under PAYE, I was concerned I was paying too much tax. The Cook Partnership investigated and found my tax code to be incorrect. They liaised on my behalf with HMRC, and I am no longer overpaying. They now complete my Self-Assessment Tax Returns, meaning any issues are spotted by them and my tax code is correct.

    Another happy client

  • Insight and advice beyond our expectations

    The advice offered and insight given quickly added value to what was a fledgling business. Four years later, the firm support all our accounting and tax functions, effortlessly adapting to our growing business needs and offering insight and advice beyond our expectations. The support the team provides is exceptional – always positive and with a smile, it’s a pleasure to work with them.

    Dave Hawkes, Founder

  • Support from the start

    Pamela & David always provide reliable, timely and no-nonsense, easy to understand advice. The Cook Partnership have supported my business from the start, helping me reach an efficient month-end process and taken all the stress out of tax returns. I’m always quick to recommend them to friends and colleagues.

    Georgina Abbott, Director

  • They immediately

    They understood what was needed

    When I first approached Pam & David, my accounts were in quite a mess, and I urgently needed to sort out my VAT registration. They were great and helped me get everything in order, both with HMRC and my clients. They helped me move all my accounting to Xero, which has been a huge benefit and a timesaver. The whole team are so friendly, helpful, and always there to advise me on my accounts & tax affairs.
