More than compliance

At Moore, we go beyond the basics. Alongside essential compliance services like accounts preparation and tax returns, we provide proactive business advice to help you make confident decisions and unlock new opportunities.

A service tailored to you

We know that no two businesses or situations are the same. That’s why we take the time to understand your goals and challenges and shape our services to fit your needs. And we apply the same level of attention to detail to the completion of an individual’s tax return as is given to the audit of a business with turnover of more than £100m.

Support at every stage of your journey

Whether you’re a start-up finding your feet, an established family business looking to the next generation or a multinational expanding across borders, we have the expertise to support you.

As your business evolves, so will our solutions. No matter how or where your interests develop, Moore has people with the experience to help.

Keeping you informed

We make sure you’re always in the know when it comes to tax, regulatory changes and business matters.

You’ll get regular email bulletins with practical updates and insights on the issues that matter most to you while our monthly Tax Advice Podcast dives into topical tax issues in an easy-to-listen format – without the jargon.

Value for money

We know that value for money is a prerequisite for all business expenditure. Being located outside major financial centres means our cost structure is lower, so we are able to keep our prices competitive without compromising on the quality of the service we deliver.

What our clients say

Providing a first-class services lies at the heart of what we do, and we regularly ask our clients for feedback about the service we provide. Over 200 clients completed our latest satisfaction survey, carried out in 2024.

Our overall Net Promotor Score (NPS) is 70.

The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a market research metric used to measure customer loyalty and satisfaction. It is calculated based on responses to a single question: “On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend our service to a friend or colleague?”

An NPS above 0 is considered ‘good,’ and a score between 50 and 70 is regarded as excellent, indicating very loyal customers who are likely to recommend your business to others.

Different industries have varying benchmarks for what constitutes a good NPS. In the financial services industry, scores typically range from 30 to 50, meaning our score is well above average!

Our story

Moore East Midlands started out in the 1920s as a small accountancy practice in Kettering run by Howard Smith and Herbert Hawthorn. The firm grew considerably throughout 20^th century, merging with several other local practices including E Lacey & Co., Nicolas Hart & Co., Starkie Lewis Walding, and Cushing Fairbairn Wardle (CFW).

In 1995 the firm, then known as Smith Starmer Hart, joined the Moore Stephens International network as an independent member firm.

In 2019, the Moore Stephens International network rebranded to become Moore Global, and we became Moore East Midlands.

Today, we’re a team of around 80 people, working from offices in Corby and Peterborough, with a small serviced office in Northampton.

Throughout our long and varied history, one thing has remained unchanged: our commitment to giving our clients all the support and guidance they need to tackle risks, harness new opportunities and ultimately, thrive in a changing world.
