Essex Abel is a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants and Chartered Tax Advisors based in Loughborough, Leicestershire. Our well spread client base, which has been built up over 70 years ranges from personal clients who want their personal affairs professionally managed through to larger owner managed businesses who we are able to guide through a range of more complex advisory needs.

Our clients (whatever their size, needs or location) all have something in common – they receive the same professional, reliable, friendly, quality service that forms the basis of our core business values.

It is our strong belief that accountants should be seen and heard and that is why at the outset we establish interactive client/advisor relationships where we regularly update clients with relevant important developments and opportunities as they happen. We have a proactive way of working which looks to the future in all aspects of our clients’ affairs, which helps them to achieve their business and personal goals - whatever they may be.
