Eleanor Wakefield FCA ACCA, founder and principal chartered accountant at Pembridge and Co., Marylebone London

Founder & Principal Accountant

Eleanor Wakefield, FCA · ACCA

Eleanor spent 11 years at a Big Four accounting firm helping large corporations structure their finances. She was very good at it. But something bothered her.

The people who really needed expert help — the florist, the graphic designer, the landlord juggling two jobs — could not afford a Big Four invoice and often got buried under HMRC letters they did not understand.

It crystallised when her sister, a florist in Hackney, almost paid £11,800 in tax she did not owe. Eleanor spotted the error in twenty minutes. That evening, she handed in her notice and began building Pembridge & Co.

Today, Eleanor and her small team of dedicated accountants serve over 340 clients across London. Every single client gets a response to every email within four business hours. Guaranteed.

David M., bespoke furniture maker and Pembridge and Co. client
David M. · Bespoke Furniture Maker, Hackney

"I got £4,200 back within six weeks."

Eleanor reviewed my past returns and filed an amendment. I had been overpaying for three years without knowing. That money paid for my new workshop equipment outright.

Sarah T., freelance photographer and Pembridge and Co. client
Sarah T. · Freelance Photographer, Shoreditch

"I genuinely feel calm about my finances now."

I used to dread every email from HMRC. Eleanor replied to my question about the Autumn Budget within two hours with a plain-English summary of exactly what it meant for my business.

James R., IT consultant and Pembridge and Co. client
James R. · IT Consultant, Canary Wharf

"My take-home went up by £8,400 in year one."

Eleanor helped me move from sole trader to a limited company at exactly the right time. The restructure alone added £8,400 to my annual take-home. I wish I had done it sooner.

Common Questions

Nothing. The 30-minute call is completely free with no strings attached. If we cannot show you clear value in that first conversation, you should not hire us. You will walk away better informed whether you become a client or not.
Yes. Switching is simpler than most people think. Once you authorise us, we contact your current accountant and request your records on your behalf. No awkward conversations. No overlap. We handle the whole handover.
One thing: every client gets a dedicated accountant who responds to every email within four business hours. Guaranteed. Not a call centre. Not a junior. If we ever miss that window, your next month of service is free. No questions asked.
Not at all. Most clients work with us entirely remotely. We use secure online tools to share documents and the initial call can be by phone or video. You are always welcome at 14 Paddington Street if you prefer to meet face to face.
For most new clients we can begin within five to seven working days of the initial call. If you have an urgent deadline, mention it on the booking form and we will prioritise your case.

One call. Zero pressure. Possibly thousands saved.

The worst case is you spend 30 minutes with a qualified chartered accountant and walk away with a clearer picture of your finances. No invoice. No obligation.
