About us
Evans & Partners are a firm of Chartered Accountants which started in Bristol in 1943. We now employ over 20 staff with our main office in Kingswood and a second branch in Bedminster. The firm acts for over 1000 clients of all sizes and types.
We believe there's more to accountancy than short term measures designed to placate the tax man and bank manager.
Evans & Partners can provide a continuous advisory service on all aspects of your finances, personal and professional, so you know exactly where you stand throughout the year and how your business is doing.
Over the years we have developed strong links with a number of external experts and we use their expertise whenever the client's situation demands it.
