About Our Organisation

Our Mission and Vision

Our mission is to proactively assist and empower our clients to achieve their personal, financial and business goals, by delivering tailored tax and accounting solutions, personalised one-to-one service and ongoing support.

As a modern innovative accounting firm with an holistic approach, our vision is based on building on our new and ongoing relationships, as these are central to our core.

Why The Name Mentor?

In business as in life, the areas of accounting, taxation and financial planning inherently work together. They’re part and parcel of a whole, that also includes legals, insurances and financial management.

As experienced professionals in tax and accounting, we understand this in depth, and proudly employ this insight into all aspects of our services, from tax advice and accounting to financial planning and business mentoring.

The meaning of the word mentor is encapsulated beautifully in this definition:
Mentor – An experienced and trusted adviser.

We value our clients as people, whether individuals, companies or trusts and offer our mentorship not as an extra, but as core to our belief in and provision of great service. This point of difference is so important to us that we wanted our name to say it: Mentor Group – Good People, Great Service.
