Our Team

Our Expert Team Make You To Reach Your Goal

Bowes Brooks was founded by me when I relocated to the Axminster area.

I trained at a Chartered Accountancy Practice in Bath more years ago than I care to remember!

I've set up, bought, and sold businesses, and spent some time working for Administrators who sent me into failing businesses to turn them around

I have over 25 years of private practice and invaluable commercial experience

At Bowes Brooks, we're proud to be the first point of call when clients need help with any aspect of their business.

We have an extensive network of specialist professional advisors to call on when necessary

I have been working at Bowes Brooks for nearly 9 years now, becoming an AAT Licensed Accountant and working my way up to the position of Practice Manager.

I currently oversee the Year End Accounts, Self Assessment Tax Returns and Payroll as well as dealing with any client queries and helping to ensure the office runs smoothly on a day to day basis.

Outside of work I like to spend time with my husband and two daughters - you will usually find us either at the horses or taking a walk in the countryside if the weather is nice or enjoying a movie if not!

Hi, I'm Sophie, I am a Part-Chartered Qualified Accountant at Bowes Brooks.

I head up the Bookkeeping and VAT Department ensuring that all client work is completed to a high standard and deadlines aren't missed.

Outside of work I enjoy taking my dog (Millie) out on various adventures; we like going to beaches, woodlands and anywhere dog friendly. I rescued Millie back in 2021 from a rescue centre in Devon who saved Mille from the streets of Romania. I am unsure on what breed Millie but I do know that she has a heart of gold! You may see Millie when you visit the Axminster office as I'm fortunate that she is able to come to work with me

Hello, I'm Erin. I've been working at Bowes Brooks for almost 4 years now. I'm an AAT qualified Bookkeeper

I complete bookkeeping on behalf of our clients, ensuring that their records are up to date, they have timely financial information and VAT returns are submitted accurately and on time!

I manage the Self Assessments, making sure records are received and returns are submitted by the deadline.

As I manage a lot of deadlines you will probably encounter me chasing you for records

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my three younger brothers, they are all completely different so I get to do a wide range of activities. On my weekends I like to take the time to relax and reset for the week ahead

Xin Chao (Hi), I'm Sophia! I am originally from Vietnam.

I started working at Bowes Brooks in 2020 and am currently working towards my ACCA qualification.

I mainly support the accounts department in preparing the year end accounts for companies, partnerships and sole traders.

I also assist with bookkeeping and VAT for clients

When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter. We love taking our dog out for long walks and I regularly watch my husband play rugby for Bridport.

We often go to the church in town and never miss out on our Sunday Roast!

Hi, I'm Henry.

I am currently working on a Level 3 AAT Apprenticeship with Bowes Brooks.

My aim is to become a Qualified Accountant

I mainly work within the Bookkeeping and VAT department. You'll probably hear from me when it's time to file your Confirmation Statement. I also assist with preparing Year End accounts.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time at home with my family, watching any sport that is on and playing video games with friends.

You may find me walking at the beach in summer and potentially in the sea, if it's sunny enough!

My name is Millie and I am lucky enough to be able to come to work with this lovely bunch - I love it here!

My job role here is to give anyone and everyone cuddles, give the 'puppy dog eyes' when it's lunchtime and most importantly kick back, relax and snooze - it's tiring watching everyone work so hard!

When you're next passing the office feel free to ask to meet me, I love making new friends (especially if they have treats)

I'm Charlie the Bowes Brooks feathery friend! These lovely people adopted me when my owner died and I was left on my own feeling very lonely..

You can find me chatting away, singing along to the radio or mimicking the phone ringing - my language is a little bit ripe but I can't help what I've been taught previously!

Being in the office is lots of fun as there's always different people coming and going that like a chat. Plus I get fed lots of lovely treats, my favourites being grapes, monkey nuts and a rich tea biscuit or two..

We’ve seen it time and again: when clients understand their accounts and taxes, they make better decisions. That’s why we focus on accessible advice, regular check-ins, and smart tax planning throughout the year.
