A distinguished heritage...
Whitakers is one of the longest established firms in Cornwall. We began helping clients in 1935 from offices in Newquay and St Columb Major and we still work out of those same offices today – although the décor's changed a little!
For over 75 years we've given an ethical, personal and professional service at a reasonable cost – as we continue to do today.
As a longstanding Cornish business, we have worked with a broad range of clients, ensuring our place as an experienced general practice. We have three Partners whose depth of knowledge is extensive and immense.
Our longest serving Partner is David Bennett F.C.A. who joined Whitakers in 1975, training and qualifying with the firm. David's length of service demonstrates Whitakers commitment to their clients throughout the South West, and his experience spans a range of financial services.
Neville Powell BSc F.C.A. joined Whitakers as a Partner in 1991, qualifying with and working previously for one of "the big four". Having worked with a range of accountancy firms, Neville brought with him an invaluable insight into different approaches, ensuring that Whitakers are client focused.
Our most recent Partner is Stephen Hawkey A.C.A. who joined Whitakers in 1993. Stephen trained and qualified with our firm, so has gained a greater understanding of the industries intrinsic to Cornwall and the whole of the South West, such as farming, tourism and leisure.
Our Partners are supported by a highly professional team, with dedicated and experienced staff appointed to each client who are most suited to their requirements. Whitakers is a long-standing Cornish firm having worked with a wide range of other Cornwall based businesses throughout its many years. As such we understand all types and sizes of businesses in the Duchy making us an excellent General Practice Firm able to help clients with all of their accountancy needs.
