About Us

J. Richard Hildebrand & Co. Chartered Certified Accountants was founded many years ago by Mr Jonathan Richard Hildebrand (universally known as Rick). The firm has been established since 1981.

We have obtained a good reputation by word of mouth in many industry sectors, most especially the creative industries such as Photography, Advertising, and Film Production.

We have in particular taken a firm attitude with the authorities and used our best efforts to get the optimum result for our clients within the bounds of the law.  Some of our longest lasting clients remain with us because we resolved such issues as H M Revenue and Customs enquiries and negotiated settlement of tax arrears over time.

We do not advise on artificial tax avoidance schemes.

“I’d like to thank you very much for all your work on my behalf across my various accounts over the last 12 months plus.

I know I am not the simplest most organised record keeper and greatly appreciate all your assistance.

And I’ve never ever forgotten Rick’s advice almost on Day 1, probably around 1984 – ‘just keep earning’

Done my best and hopefully many more years of earning yet. ”

Martin Barraud
Photographer

“The last 12 months have seen an unexpected upheaval in broadcasting, with many people including myself struggling to find work.

I’m employed again and wanted to express my thanks for helping me through this tricky time, your help and advice have been a huge support.

Cheers ”
