Meet Joe Truscott
Joe has worked full time in public accounting since 1973 and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1978.
During this time he has seen many changes both in the accounting profession and in business in general.
In 1980 he became a partner in the firm of Levy Feldman Truscott, where he spent sixteen years.
In 1995 Joe decided to leave that firm in order to establish his own practice that would reflect his own vision and goals.
Joe's philosophy is simple: "to provide the highest level of personal service to quality clients who require, and can benefit from, a broad range of services - a 'big firm service' - but offer this at small firm fees."
It seems his idea was right on target, as his firm has enjoyed rapid expansion in recent years.
Joseph A. Truscott Chartered Accountants is a full service firm, with an extensive offering of services. His team of seven professionals work on a diverse range of projects at any given time, helping clients to solve a wide variety of business problems.
Joe firmly believes in keeping up to date in order to best advise his clients, and with that in mind, he is a member of the following groups:
