All That Hard Work Accounts For Something 

Top marks for leading Grimsby accountants A.P Robinson & Co who are celebrating the exam success of three of their senior accountants; Sarah Clark, Sarah English and Jodie Osbourne who have all qualified as Chartered Accountants this month. To gain the qualification, the girls balanced three years of an intensive study programme with managing key accounts on a daily basis. Sarah Clark who has been with the practice for ten years said, "I have had excellent support throughout my training at A P Robinson & Co and I am pleased that I have achieved my goal. My new qualification along with the experience I have gained will enable me to further the practice along with the support I provide for my clients."

A.P Robinson & Co, based on the corner of Riby Square, shape their business ethos in team ambition by investing time and money into developing the expertise of their staff so that their clients receive excellent service. Every member of the accounts team is qualified or is training for a professional qualification. A.P Robinson & Co is the only accountancy practice in the area with such a high percentage of qualified staff.

The success of the practice has been driven by the entrepreneurial spirit of Andrew Robinson, who, as an accountant himself, founded the company 14 years ago, but was steered by his expertise in business growth. Since then, the company has soared with an ever increasing client base. "I am really proud of my team, they have put in a tremendous amount of work over the past three years," remarked Andrew Robinson.

With this proactive investment into employees futures, Andrew and his team of highly qualified accountants and business advisors �go beyond� accountancy by not just offering general financial compliance services, but provide �business advisory services� to their clients. This includes business advice and planning for businesses starting-up, business growth and expansion, strategic planning and management systems.

Andrew Robinson said, "This range of professional services has required my team to keep their business skills sharpened and their expertise even sharper. Fundamentally our knowledge and ambition fuels our client�s businesses and that is what is most important to us."
