Our Story
GPMA stands not just as an accountancy firm but as a testament to a legacy of wisdom and expertise passed down from father to son. Though formally established in 2007, our roots stretch back over four decades, thanks to George, the founder of GPMA. His dedication to owner-managed businesses laid the foundation for what we are today: a beacon of reliability in the complex world of accountancy.
Mike, a product of both heritage and ambition, trained at a top 10 London accounting firm in the City of London, earning ICAEW membership in 2013. This led him into the intricate realm of tax advisory for owner-managed businesses, culminating in his qualification as a Chartered Tax Advisor in 2017.
His transition into GPMA as managing director in 2017 marked a new era for the firm. With a blend of tradition and innovation, Mike has propelled GPMA into a position where it stands shoulder to shoulder with, and often a step ahead of, larger accountancy firms.
GPMA embodies the spirit of small business: agile, dedicated, and driven by a passion for creating value. Mike and George, true to the spirit of entrepreneurship, are staunch believers in the transformative power of small enterprises. They understand intimately the opportunities and challenges faced by business owners and are committed to leveraging their expertise to foster environments where businesses don’t just survive but thrive, offering fulfilling lifestyles and rewarding incomes to those at the helm.
