Why clients choose Encompass Accounting
We're not here to drown you in reports or talk over your head. We're here to help you understand what matters, stay compliant, and feel supported along the way
A personal service
We’re a small but mighty team, which means you get a more personal, flexible service and real relationships, not a faceless process.
Clear advice
We explain things in plain English, so you can understand what’s happening and make decisions with confidence.
Support that fits you
Some clients want a lot of input and visibility. Others just want to know it’s being handled properly. We work around what you need.
A trusted sounding board
We want to be the people you can come to and ask, “Does this make sense?” or “Is this a good idea?” before things become a problem.
A team you can rely on, wherever you’re based
We’re a small, approachable team based in Torquay, with over 25 years of experience helping businesses feel more confident about their finances.
We work closely with clients across Devon and beyond, building real relationships and giving you straightforward advice you can actually use. Whether you prefer face-to-face or fully remote, we’ll work in a way that suits you.
“The guys at Encompass Accounting Limited have provided me with an outstanding service for over fourteen years. I would, without any hesitation, recommend them to anyone interested in running a business as profitably as possible. In fact, when I consider how much money Lynne has saved us; her services haven't actually cost us a penny!”

“Encompass, they are the 4th emergency service for us, they are smart thinkers, without the jargon. I actually understand what they advise us on and without superior attitudes. We are matched well as we are all open to a flexible approach to what is needed. Bingo!”
Caron Jenner
Director
Apex Maintenance Services Limited
“Lynne is an integral and invaluable member of the Maxim team, the combination of her day-to-day advice and strategic counsel has been invaluable. We have worked with Encompass since 2009 and they have helped us sustain a strong, profitable and well-structured business.
Lynne is able to explain the most complicated of personal and corporate tax issues and constantly adds significant value through her experience of working with small businesses like our own, as well as much larger ones.
We would recommend Encompass to any business, regardless of their size”
