Accountants & Business Advisors in Sussex
At TC Group Sussex, we provide expert accountancy, audit, tax and advisory services to businesses, not-for-profits, independent schools and private clients across Sussex and the wider UK.
Our roots stretch back to the late nineteenth century, with a long-established presence in both Sussex and London. Over generations, we’ve built long-lasting relationships with businesses, charities, educational organisations and private clients who value practical advice, personal service and trusted support.
That heritage continues today. Our Sussex partners bring more than 100 years of combined experience, combining deep local knowledge with specialist expertise to help clients navigate change, manage complexity and plan for the future.
Supporting not-for-profits and independent schools
We’re particularly recognised for our work with charities, not-for-profit organisations and independent schools. Our specialists understand the governance, funding, regulatory and reporting challenges these organisations face and provide practical advice tailored to their needs.
From audit and assurance to strategic planning, financial sustainability and governance support, we work closely with trustees, governors, bursars and leadership teams to help organisations achieve their objectives and maximise their impact.
Helping Sussex owner-managed businesses thrive
We support owner-managed and family-owned businesses through every stage of their journey, from start-up and growth to succession planning, acquisition, sale and transition to the next generation. Our team provides integrated advice covering:
• Audit and assurance
• Accounts and business compliance
• Corporate and personal tax
• VAT and employment taxes
• Payroll and HR services
• Corporate finance and transaction support
• Succession and exit planning
• Wealth planning and preservation
Supporting families, trustees and private clients
Alongside our business services, we advise families, trustees, business owners and high-net-worth individuals on personal tax, trusts, inheritance tax, estate planning, pensions and succession planning. Our role is to help clients protect, preserve and pass on wealth efficiently while making informed decisions about their financial future.
Whether you’re a charity trustee, school leader, business owner or private individual seeking trusted advice, we’d be delighted to discuss how we can help.
