About us

We are an award winning digital first accountancy group based in Norwich, Norfolk and Suffolk with clients across East Anglia and London.

Our history

Farnell Clarke was formed over 15 years ago by our Chairman, Will Farnell, who saw the opportunity of embracing new digital practices into the traditional accountancy sector. This led to Farnell Clarke being the first 100% Cloud accounting firm in the UK.

Since our launch the business has grown its services and offerings but at its heart our focus, supporting our clients and ensuring they benefit from the effective use of digital accounting software and platforms, has never changed.

We are proud of our digital expertise and pedigree and work closely with national and global software vendors. We help to continue lead and drive the digital transformation of the accounting industry and driving benefits for businesses of all sizes.

Our pioneering digital first approach has led the business to be recognised through multiple industry awards. Now Will, and members of the management team are regularly asked to speak at major accounting industry events on the benefits of digital transformation and what future key trends will be.

Our mission

Our mission is driven by our purpose which has remained strong since we opened the doors in 2007. Farnell Clarke set out to change the way professional services were delivered and perceived by those using the services. Today this means delivering first class client experiences to our SME and private clients by utilising the best people, processes, and technology available.

Farnell Clarke was formed on the belief that when you blend the right people, with the right technology, and use the right processes, you get the best results.

Our leading digital first approach ensures we always provide first class accounting and tax services effectively and efficiently. Providing advice, insight and support whenever you need it. Our passion is saving our clients time and money by using technology and data. Giving you peace of mind, making your lives easier and freeing you to focus on what you do best.
