Welcome to Butler & Gee Accountants. We are a forward-thinking accountancy and taxation practice that combines the professional and respected traditions of the past with a flexible and adapting approach to the ever-changing tax and accountancy legislation of the future, providing services to limited companies, partnerships, sole traders, private individuals and trusts.
