In 1974, Adrian Hart created a new accountancy practice from a single room in East London – and it is now one of the UK's best firms of accountants with branches in Wanstead, Cheam, Chelmsford and Saffron Walden.

The business succeeded because Adrian built it with the determination to provide clients with a better service than any other accountant.

"I always wanted THP to be more than just an accountancy firm," he says. "One way we've achieved that is by providing a personal service – we often act as finance directors for our clients, making important contributions to their decision-making processes."

Adrian has a keen eye for talent, and has very high expectations of THP accountants. "When we recruit, we look for people who innovate, want to improve our service and aren't afraid to argue for change. We don't hire people who blindly follow the same path."

In recent years, THP has improved its offering by merging with a number of smaller accountancy practices, and Adrian's ambition is to see the company grow further.  "I would like THP to become widely known in new areas – and to do that, our clients always have to be our prime motivation for everything we do. I think we'll succeed."
