Ascentant is a technology-led, client-focused business. We truly care about our clients. Does that make us different? Probably not…. However, our approach to our clients is perhaps different.
Historically, Accounting Practises tend to be formed in one of two ways. As a result of a demerger from another Accountancy practice or, a startup created by an Accountant who has worked at another practice and taken their clients with them.
Ascentant Accountancy evolved following a unique path. We do not operate as an everyday Accountancy practice, consequently, we don’t refer to our company as a practice. Founded in Derby in 2016, we launched our Ripley office in 2023.
Professionalism is still at our core – But by building our business from scratch, organically, really means that we understand your business. Your challenges. Your needs.
We are a Derby based Accountant with National reach. We have a Business Hub and office in Ripley, Derbyshire. We provide a comprehensive range of services including Limited Company Accounts, Tax advice, Payroll, VAT and Bookkeeping services. We also have an office in Ripley, Derbyshire, providing Accountancy services.
We provide niche Outsourced Legal Cashiering support to Law Firms across England & Wales.
