Meet the people behind The Cotswold Accountants

At The Cotswold Accountants, we pride ourselves on giving the very best advice and support to individuals and businesses of all sizes operating in the Cotswolds, Herefordshire and surrounding areas.

Founded by Mike Ellis FCCA, we are a friendly and approachable team who care deeply about the people and businesses we work with. Our golden rule is that we don't just go through the motions - by regularly meeting you for a coffee and a catch up, we truly get to understand how your business works. Through this collaborative approach, we can then constantly be spotting opportunities to save you money.

Unlike bigger corporate practices, our size means that we can take a more nimble, personal and hands-on approach. Whether you are self employed, a small business or a big corporation looking for a more diligent service, our team can be flexible to work around you and your accountancy needs.

A man of few words, Mac is usually the first member of the team that you'll meet. He is responsible for showing clients into our meeting room.

What our clients say about us...

"Mike has been fantastic in advising us on our tax planning. He suggested we take delivery of new equipment for our tap room before year-end to accelerate our tax relief, which saved us money. The Cotswold Accountants are not just accountants - they're also business advisers all rolled into one."

Alice Churchward

"A real great experience. First class, professional and efficient. I had a limited time to get things done and Mike took it all in his stride and completed the job with days to spare. The cost is very reasonable too, given the amount of work and the quality of the service. Highly recommended."

Trustpilot Review

"The Cotswold Accountants are great, really friendly and professional. Very easy to communicate with and very quick with answers to questions, would definitely recommend!"

Ryan Carter

“Mike does exactly what I think an accountant should; that is give you the time to focus on what you do.

He provides a truly professional service at the same time as being relaxed, approachable and efficient. I echo the comments in other reviews about Mike’s speed of response and would recommend him to anyone."
