At all levels within the firm, we have received friendly and efficient attention to detail with business as well as personal accounts.Graham Doubtfire has been a knowledgeable sounding-board for us throughout the past 15 years. He is extremely well-versed in tax affairs and has helped us to consider both our short- and long-term planning. He is always available to discuss our thoughts and concerns, and we have appreciated his quick response to our questions, remembering and understanding the nuances of financial considerations for family members.

At all levels within the firm, we have received friendly and efficient attention to detail with business as well as personal accounts.Graham Doubtfire has been a knowledgeable sounding-board for us throughout the past 15 years. He is extremely well-versed in tax affairs and has helped us to consider both our short- and long-term planning. He is always available to discuss our thoughts and concerns, and we have appreciated his quick response to our questions, remembering and understanding the nuances of financial considerations for family members.

ExcellentScrutton BlandBased on 36 reviewsSee all reviewsreview us onJo OkellMy family have been using Scrutton Bland’s accountancy services for over 40 years and we have valued the continuity from one generation to the next that this has provided. At all levels within the firm, we have received friendly and efficient attention to detail with business as well as personal accounts.Graham Doubtfire has been a knowledgeable sounding-board for us throughout the past 15 years. He is extremely well-versed in tax affairs and has helped us to consider both our short- and long-term planning. He is always available to discuss our thoughts and concerns, and we have appreciated his quick response to our questions, remembering and understanding the nuances of financial considerations for family members. We really appreciated his warm and kind personality as he helped us negotiate family bereavements and the required administration, and his in-depth understanding of Lloyds Underwriting has been invaluable.We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Scrutton Bland to others – even though we live over 150 miles away, we can’t imagine using anyone else!Response from the owner:Hi Jo thank you so much for leaving us a wonderful review. Our Private Client Tax team have enjoyed working with you and your family for over 40 years and look forward to continuing to help you navigate your short and long term tax planning needs going forward.Harun KOCI needed an Accountant’s Certificate of Confirmation for my spouse visa application. Not all local accountant’s offer this service however Scrutton Bland does for a reasonable price and a good service. Ben was very helpful and processed this promptly. Thank you to all the team.Mark AugustynakDavid C from Scrutton was a great help and support to get my rather complicated tax returns sorted. He was available at all time to answer my questions.

I can absolutely recommend using themRachel GarrettWe were so grateful to have Scrutton Bland’s team supporting us through our recent acquisition. The unwavering support they gave us and the exceptional know how and advise was invaluable.Peter CheneryI have very much appreciated and valued the care and attention devoted to my tax affairs by SB over many years. No question or point raised has gone unanswered and usually by return and with complete clarity. In a sense I ‘inherited’ my contact with the firm through my late parents. The firm maintained this personal approach and style and it was a pleasure and comfort in tax matters to be dealing always with the same well-informed tax adviser.Rob PreciousSpecialist Agricultural knowledge and advice in a timely, friendly and accurate manner.

Alfred Scrutton saw many men returning from the Great War experiencing tax problems, and founded his firm with Frances Goodchild on The Thoroughfare in Ipswich town centre. Over the county border in Essex, Frank Bland, whose father co-founded the Colchester Permanent Building Society, noticed a greater need for insurance and set up an office on Crouch Street. 1919 1920s Mr Scrutton and Mr Goodchild The ‘Scrutton’ part of Scrutton Bland dates back to the partnership of Alfred Scrutton and Francis Goodchild who began their accountancy firm in Ipswich in 1919 when they saw that many men returning from the Great War had tax problems. 1920s Success in Essex Over in Essex, the ‘Bland’ part of the firm was also going strong. In 1919, after distinguished military service in the First World War, Frank Bland set up his own insurance practice at 356 Crouch St, Colchester. In 1926 ‘The Limes’, a large 18th-century former school, came up for sale in the centre of the town, and the business relocated to the new premises where it remained until 2007. 1938 The Black Bell Inn Business in Suffolk thrived during the 1920s, and Scrutton & Goodchild soon needed to move to larger premises on Museum Street. These offices had originally been the Black Bell Inn which was then knocked down to create a new building which opened in 1938, designed by Baker and Burton and built by H Everett and Son. 1968 Expansion in Suffolk The Ipswich business continued to prosper, so much so that in 1968 they merged with their Ipswich competitor, Nankivell & Sanderson to create Scrutton, Goodchild and Sanderson with branches in Dovercourt, Diss and Saxmundham. The merger meant that the firm doubled in size, and there were now two buildings on either side of Museum Street. 1970s Paper-based accounts By the 1970s the Bland Fielden office in Colchester office was a familiar landmark for local businesses. Clients always brought in their annual accounts each year, including a fish merchant who delivered their paperwork in fish crates; the smell was so bad that they had to be stored in the old air raid shelter in the grounds. 1990 Scrutton Bland is formed In 1990 after just over 70 years of business the two firms of Scrutton, Goodchild and Sanderson (in Ipswich) and Bland Fielden (in Colchester) merged to create Scrutton Bland. They covered Suffolk and north Essex, with branch offices in Ipswich, Colchester, Saxmundham, Diss, Witham and Frinton-on-Sea. 2004 Merrick Hill joins the group The new century brought fresh changes as in 2004 Scrutton Bland acquired Merrick Hill, a well-known local insurance broker based in Diss, which became the most recent acquisition to the Scrutton Bland Group. 2007 A new office in Colchester The current Scrutton Bland Colchester office was purpose-built and opened in 2007 on the Colchester Business Park with close links to the A12, and is still one of the firm’s key sites. 2014 Growth in Ipswich In 2014 the Ipswich offices were moved to Crown Street on the site of what was originally the Temperance Hall building. The new development was designed to accommodate over 150 staff. 2019 Our centenary year In 2019 we celebrated our 100th birthday. By now the Group employed over 230 staff across three counties. Celebrations included a 100-mile journey by the staff in one day, walking, cycling and sailing between the offices. 2021 Hybrid working The Covid-19 pandemic meant all the offices had to close and staff moved to working from home. As lockdowns eased in 2021, employees embraced a hybrid way of working, allowing them to meet and interact with clients through electronic forms of communication, as well as in person in the offices. 2023 New Office in Bury St Edmunds Opened In 2023 Scrutton Bland’s new Bury St Edmunds office opened at Fornham Business Park, strategically located near the A14. 2024 Scrutton Bland became part of the Sumer Group In 2024, Scrutton Bland became part of Sumer – a collaboration of the best regional accountancy practices with a shared vision to champion local small to medium-sized enterprises. 2024 Scrutton Bland Acquired Jacobs Allen In October 2024, Scrutton Bland purchased Jacobs Allen, a practice based in Bury St Edmunds growing our presence in the town. 2025 Scrutton Bland Acquired Tile & Co We welcomed Tile & Co into the business in February 2025, strengthening our services and expanding our presence in the region. 2025 About Us Scrutton Bland have been helping people and businesses across the East of England with their accounts and finances for over 100 years.
