About this employer

Brewers Chartered Accountants has traded continuously for well over 100 years, always based in the Surrey Hills. As well as Chartered Accountants, we are registered auditors, with a particular specialism in the not-for-profit sector. We also offer strategic tax advice to both individuals and owner-managed businesses. At Brewers, we’ve made it our mission to do right by our clients through enthusiasm, hard work and a love for what we do. Our approach is not to tell clients what they can’t do, but to work with them to show them what they can. If a client has a problem, we’ll look at ways around it, finding a new angle or idea to view the issue differently. Making informed decisions is the cornerstone of any successful business, so if we can help them find those solutions, we will. For years now, our friendly, open team has helped our clients reach their goals, find their passions, and own their finances, and our mission hasn’t ended yet.
