Mark Asquith – Managing Director
I have been working in accountancy since 1982 having started work as a spotty trainee on leaving school. Asquith & Co became a reality in 2001 although I had previously hankered after being self-employed.
I love helping clients to keep just on the right side of the taxman while, hopefully, having a few laughs on the way - this is not easy but I do try.

I have worked at Asquith & Co from day one - and not for tax reasons! I hopefully cover all the bases left uncovered by the rest of the team and cook Mark's books…sorry I meant to say prepare the books and records for Asquith & Co. However my primary role is in reassuring Mark that it is all worthwhile, which it is!
