Early Careers
About RPGCC
We are an independently owned, full-service firm of Chartered Accountants regulated by the ICAEW, proudly combining more than 130 years of heritage with a modern, forward-thinking approach.
RPGCC was formed in January 2013 following the merger of Crouch Chapman Chartered Accountants and the London office of Royce Peeling Green (RPG).
Together, these two respected practices brought a legacy stretching back to 1892, when Crouch Chapman was first established in the City of London.
Today, RPGCC operates from offices in London EC3 and Woburn, with 16 partners and more than 120 dedicated professionals.
We provide expert services across audit, taxation, accounting, corporate finance, and financial services, supporting businesses, SMEs, entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals, and privately owned groups across the UK and internationally.
Each of our specialist departments is led by senior experts with extensive sector knowledge and the technical depth required to deliver exceptional client outcomes.
