Our presence in Colchester technically dates back to 1919 when, following distinguished military service in World War One, Frank Bland set up an insurance company on Crouch Street with Cyril Fielden. Other financial services offered by Bland Fielden included accountancy, auditing and tax advice. In 1990 the business merged with the Ipswich firm Scrutton, Goodchild and Sanderson to create Scrutton Bland. Services now included financial advice for individuals, such as pension and investment planning.
In 2007, our Colchester team moved to a new purpose-built office on Colchester Business Park, from where we continue to position ourselves at the forefront of new and emerging financial technology, with services such as cloud-based accounting helping clients to advance their businesses, in sectors including but not limited to:
We’re a friendly, independent and professional team of accountants, auditors, tax advisers, insurance brokers, corporate finance specialists, business advisers and so much more.
