Since our foundation over a century ago, Smith & Williamson has been managing the financial affairs of private clients and their business interests. We are one of the top ten largest firms of accountants* in the UK and our investment management business has over £11.5 billion of funds under management and advice (as at 31 October 2011).
Our prime aim is to help our clients achieve their financial ambitions, both corporate and personal. Our clients are varied - private individuals, mid-large businesses, professional practices and non-profit organisations.
Our business spans 11 offices in the UK and Ireland, with locations in the City of London, Belfast, Bristol, Birmingham, Dublin, Glasgow, Guildford, Salisbury, Southampton and Worcester, and an international capability in over 100 countries through membership of Nexia International (the 10th largest international accounting and consulting network) and M&A International.
In an award-winning business as diverse as ours, professionalism and teamwork are key. We recognise that clients and intermediaries take comfort from knowing that they can easily reach senior people and decision-makers in our organisation who are able to understand their needs and objectives.
Our business thrives on its people - a pool of highly talented and enthusiastic individuals who deliver a broad and innovative range of services, but without compromising on delivering a genuinely director-led service. Technical excellence underpins how we deliver our services and our teams are dedicated to offering practical financial solutions.
People may ask what sets us apart from our competitors; put simply, it's our people - ambitious, talented and enthusiastic professionals who enjoy what they do and relish the opportunity to work together and with our clients.
