Randall & Payne dates back to 1879, when George Payne and John Randall first formed their partnership. Our head offices at Rodborough Court in Stroud, Gloucestershire, were built by Alfred Bucknall of Clifton in 1888 for mill owner Alfred Apperly.

By 1964, the building was up for sale and with no potential purchasers was at risk of demolition. At the time, our offices were in Rowcroft, Stroud, next to the Stroud Building Society and as we were expanding rapidly, we decided that the time was right to move to new offices: Rodborough Court.

Today we are a six-partner practice, supported by a 45-strong professional team, with additional offices in Gloucester and Cheltenham.

We provide accountancy, business and tax services to clients ranging from private individuals to family-owned businesses and large limited companies, operating in many different industry sectors. We have particular expertise in niche sectors including charities and schools.

Because we are a business ourselves, we understand the challenges involved in making an enterprise succeed. We’re committed to helping you achieve your personal and business goals – a philosophy that guides us in everything we do.

At the heart of the way we work is an ongoing dialogue with our clients. By staying in touch and following your progress, we are ideally placed to identify opportunities and risks and provide the right advice, at the right time.
