There was a gap on the Island.

Ashlie Farrar started Farrar & Co. for a reason most accountants will recognise. Businesses that had outgrown a bookkeeper were being handed to large firms that charged like a large firm and answered like one.

The people here have spent careers in corporate services, tax and trusts. Over 100 years of it between us, much of it alongside Eximia Global, an established Isle of Man firm we still work beside today.

That depth is why complexity is not a problem here. The size is why you will not be handed down a chain. You deal with the people who do the work, and you deal with the same ones next year.

100+: Years of combined experience across corporate services, tax and trusts

The people you will actually deal with.

No account managers, no handover to someone you have not met.

Ashlie Farrar
Managing Director
Ashlie founded the firm and still works with clients directly. Their background is corporate services and trusts, and they are usually the person a new client speaks to first.
Eloise Smith ACCA
Senior Accountant
Eloise handles day-to-day accounts and VAT for a mix of local businesses and international groups. A client described her as making the complex feel straightforward, which is the job.
James Corrin
Tax Manager
James looks after tax planning and compliance for owner-managed businesses. Most of his work is spotting the decision that changes the bill, six months before the return is due.
Rachel Quayle
Payroll Manager
Rachel runs payroll for around forty Isle of Man employers, from two-person companies to a hundred staff. ITIP, National Insurance and every filing that comes with them.
Tom Watterson
Client Accountant
Tom prepares annual accounts and management information. He is the person clients call when they want to know what the numbers actually mean before a board meeting.
Sarah Kneale
Bookkeeping Lead
Sarah keeps client books current month to month, which is what makes everything else on this page possible. Twelve years across local retail, construction and e-gaming.

Most accounting problems are avoidable.

Missed deadlines, penalties nobody saw coming, a decision made on numbers that were six months old. None of it happens because the work is hard. It happens because nobody was watching closely enough to catch it early.

So we keep your books current and tell you what is coming before it lands. And when something needs deciding, you can call someone senior before you commit rather than after.
