STEWART & CO
Almost immediately, Neil Doody joined as a trainee accountant and Stewart & Co. quickly grew and established a reputation in the local area for offering a quality personal service.
Since then, the firm has continued to expand and today we have eight partners and over fifty team members serving a wide-ranging client base. The current partners have continued with the philosophy of offering a service based upon the highest possible professional standards, whilst maintaining the ethos that the relationships we have with our clients is what makes this business a success.
We will continue to be a forward-looking independent partnership, proud of our heritage. We will forever hold a huge debt of gratitude to the founding partners, the team and the clients that have supported us on our journey so far.
