Duncan Stannett

If I told you we are one of the Top 50 accountants in the UK, have more than 20 partners and over 150 staff in multiple offices in the London area you would probably think we are too big, institutionalised and process driven to provide the range of flexible, hands on and personalised services we deliver. After all, how could a firm that looks after in excess of 2,000 owner managed businesses with a combined turnover in excess of £20 billion keep it personal? Well, quite simply because it’s the one thing that has remained at the forefront of our business since its inception in 1899.

We’ll forge a close relationship with you to help you get the most out of your business. From tax-efficient planning, corporate finance, audit & accounts, pensions, even selling your business - we always put you first.

Our key resource is our team and we make it as easy as possible for you to talk to them. Because personal communication is the key to our success – you will have direct access to your dedicated partner, your audit manager and your tax manager, all without those dreaded call screening questions. They will get to know you personally, understand your financial strategy and communicate with other team members working on your account to ensure synergy and creativity across all departments

Joining the Barnes Roffe training programme straight out of University, Duncan was drawn to Barnes Roffe for its breadth of knowledge and hands-on training experience. Keen to progress quickly as a Chartered Accountant, Barnes Roffe offered Duncan the opportunities to put his skills to the test and experiment with his auditing, tax and corporate finance training.

In just 9 years Duncan became a Partner in the Dartford office and now spends a large part of his day providing quality business solutions to his clients.

Although his specialism primarily lies in auditing, in the future Duncan has ambitions to branch into corporate finance and introduce this as a new division to Barnes Roffe.

When he isn’t slaving away overwork, Duncan loves to socialise with the rest of the team at Barnes Roffe – that is of course when he isn’t waiting eagerly to go to a Tottenham Hotspur match!
