Accountancy Services Made Nice & Easy For SMEs
Deb Chartered Accountants, established 1980
Company Story
It all started back in 1980 when MD David was teaching small business owners how to do their bookkeeping at the local Technical College. Many small businesses on his courses sought his expertise beyond the classroom, leading him to establish his own accountancy services firm. Having worked, trained, and qualified with the highly respected KPMG in Leeds, David built a strong foundation in professional financial management.
Janice Edwards-Brown, originally a qualified teacher, also pursued and achieved her accountancy qualifications. Eventually, their son, Allan, became a Chartered Accountant, further strengthening DEB’s reputation. Today, DEB is a well-established family business providing expert accountancy to support UK businesses in managing their finances effectively.
DEB’s ethos is about supporting and advising UK business owners over financial and accountancy matters. DEB is also committed to technological innovation; we have pioneered our own accounting software and apps including:
- Debonair Accountancy Software
- Deb Connect, our secure online client information system.
- AccManager – Accounts processing progam used to explain the numbers to our clients
- Various other bespoke software to meet client needs.
