About the firm

Old enough to know better. Sharp enough to keep up.

Gordon Down & Company have been keeping South Wales businesses on solid ground for more than 75 years. Decades of experience sit alongside fresh, forward thinking minds, and we do not just serve as your accountants. We become part of your team, dedicated to helping your business thrive.

The Swansea office at 144 Walter Road once housed a distinguished gentleman's club. It is a setting rich with history that blends tradition with innovation, just like the way we work. The Cardiff office at Temple Court on Cathedral Road extends the same expertise and friendly approach across the capital and beyond.

No client is too big or too small. If it has numbers, we can help.

How we think

Four things we believe.

Compliance is the floor, not the service.

Filing accurately and on time is simply our starting point. The real service is everything we build on top of it.

No nasty surprises at year end.

Good accounting deals in early warnings. If a number needs your attention, you will hear about it while there is still plenty of time to act.

Plain English, always.

If you do not understand your accounts, that is ours to fix, never yours to apologise for. Everything comes explained in everyday language.

Worth it beats cheapest.

We would rather be genuinely worth our fee than simply the lowest name on the list. Careful work pays for itself.

Who we suit

Everyone gets a warm welcome. Here is who we suit best.

We are a great fit if

You run a business of any size and want an accountant you can ring, a straight answer when you get through, and a friendly relationship measured in years rather than invoices.

We might not be the best fit if

You are only after the cheapest possible filing and would rather never speak to your accountant. No hard feelings at all, but you deserve a firm that suits how you like to work, and we will happily point you towards one.
