Janelle Lankester

At Janelle Lankester, we have been providing a wide range of services to our clients for over 25 years. Our team, based in Puckeridge, Hertfordshire, consists of a sole practitioner, tax manager, practice manager, and junior accountants, all regulated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. Our mission is to provide our clients with more than just an accounts service, but to assist them in all aspects of the management of their business and to help them grow and achieve their objectives.

Our History

Our journey began in 1993 when our founder, Clive Lankester, decided to start his own accountancy practice after working as a senior manager in a mid-sized firm. He felt that clients were being treated mainly as a source of income, rather than individuals with their own needs and business requirements. Since then, we have developed from providing a pure compliance service to offering a range of services to suit the needs of our clients.
