Founded over a decade ago in the City of London, CBM Accounting is a chartered accountancy and tax advisory practice serving sole traders, limited companies, partnerships, charities and trusts across the UK — with a second office in Dubai as part of the CBMC Global network.
CBM Accounting was founded on a simple observation: the technical rigour, tax planning and advisory capability that mid-sized UK businesses need to compete is almost always locked inside firms priced for FTSE clients. The independent alternatives — while often excellent — can lack the multi-disciplinary bench needed to handle a complex year-end, a cross-border transaction, or an unexpected HMRC enquiry.
We built CBM to close that gap. A partner-led practice, staffed by ACCA, CIMA, IFA and ICPA-qualified specialists, running a cloud-first workflow on Xero, QuickBooks and Microsoft 365. Every client — from the first-year sole trader to the £20m-turnover group — gets the same standard of technical judgement, response times and fixed monthly fees.
Today, we advise more than 1,000 clients across the UK and UAE from offices in London EC2A and Dubai, and publish regular briefings on the HMRC, Companies House and IFRS changes that affect UK SMEs.
