History

In the 1920's Clem Howson, a former Collector of Taxes established C Howson & Co in Stoke on Trent. The firm grew significantly, particularly in the 1940's when Clem spotted a new opening in the market whereby farmers moved from being taxed on the value of the land they farmed to being taxed on their profits. More often than not, accounts were prepared 'on site' - very often in the farmer's kitchen!

80 years on

The firm has grown both organically and through the acquisition of fees, and today has ten partners working from five offices in Staffordshire and North Shropshire. Agriculture is still an important sector, however the practice has evolved and works with local, regional, national and international organisations.

Howsons prides itself on the strength of service delivery and very much remains 'hands on' with clients. Each client is assigned a dedicated Partner and Account Handler to ensure that continuity of service is guaranteed. This allows us to remain focused and provide ways of helping you to grow and develop your business, and, introduce processes to improve your efficiency!

We always look at ways to maximise your profitability but minimise your tax liability!
