efficient and speedy

“Michelle Vincent and the team at Fruition Accountancy (formerly HCB Accountants) have been our business (and personal) accountants since 2014. We have been delighted with them. They have been helpful and pro-active in streamlining our accountancy (with workable suggestions and knowledge which has proven invaluable). They have gone above and beyond assisting with queries, and are approachable, efficient and speedy with responses. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”

Emma Wilson
Director, Bardello Solihull Ltd

in safe hands

“Huge thank you to John and the team at Fruition Accountancy. After 20 years with the same accountant, it was somewhat of an adjustment to work with someone new and what a wonderful experience it has been. I have felt in safe hands throughout and very much appreciate that they were able to find savings and offer new advice.

John and the team were very patient and nothing was too much trouble. If I am in business for another 20 years I very much hope it will be with Fruition Accountancy by my side.

Thank you once again to John and the team at Fruition Accountancy.”

Owner, ES Research

What our staff say about working for Fruition:

Since working for Fruition, John, Michelle and the rest of the senior management team have been extremely supportive and a pleasure to work under. They really know how to look after their staff providing a safe and enjoyable work environment day in, day out. – Jordan



I’ve worked for John & Michelle for many years & hope to do so for many more. The support they give both professionally and personally is great and hard to find in an employer. They lead by example with their hard work and enthusiasm, ensuring both clients and the team are happy. – Sarah-Louise



I have been working at Fruition for 7 years this year and I can genuinely say I really enjoy coming to work! We are by no means a group of ‘typical accountants’ so, even though we work hard to reach deadlines for our clients, we have such a fun atmosphere in the office. I have a very busy personal life with competing horses, training gun dogs and a flock of sheep but the amazing flexibility we receive as staff means that I can always fit everything in. John and Michelle are the most incredibly supportive individuals and have even been to competitions all the way in the Cotswolds just to support me. There is really no one else I would rather work for! – Sophie



I started at Fruition over 3 years ago and haven’t looked back. We all work hard, but the staff look out for each other and it’s a really friendly place to work. Working arrangements are very flexible and I can honestly say that it’s the only place I have ever worked at where my personal achievements outside of the office are genuinely supported. I would highly recommend working for Fruition! – Philippa



Fruition is a company that inspires me. It’s forward-thinking, has a culture of co-operation and is by far the best accountancy practice I have ever worked for. – Paul
