Emmerson Press

Emmerson Press is a family-run business owned by John Emmerson and Jamie Emmerson. After more than thirty years with the same accountant, John decided it was time for a change. He wanted clearer advice, better access to his accountant and a more considered approach to tax planning and the distribution of company wealth. Bernard Rogers & Co have supported Emmerson Press for the last three years, providing straightforward, reliable advice and a more personal accounting experience.

Bringing clarity, trust and practical tax advice to a long-established family business

John first approached Bernard Rogers & Co to explore tax planning opportunities and the distribution of company wealth. He already had a clear idea of what he wanted to achieve and wanted to sense-check whether it was feasible. David reviewed the legal and tax implications, advised on the most appropriate structure and facilitated the process from start to finish. John values receiving advice that is practical, sensible and rooted in real business understanding rather than theory.

Before moving to Bernard Rogers & Co, John had worked with his previous accountant for more than thirty years. As Emmerson Press evolved, he felt ready for a different type of relationship with his accountant. He wanted someone he could speak to easily, who was willing to offer informal, practical advice, and who understood both him and his business. As a Kenilworth business owner who grew up on the High Street where our office is based, working with a local, independent firm felt like a natural fit. He passes the office every day and valued the reassurance of dealing with a firm that is part of the local community.

From the outset, John’s experience was very different. He describes Bernard Rogers & Co as efficient, friendly and approachable. Emmerson Press had not previously used accounting software, so the transition took time. We provided patient, hands-on support and training throughout, ensuring John and his team felt confident rather than overwhelmed. Bernard Rogers & Co now manage their accounts, payroll, profit and loss reporting, supplier payments, quarterly reviews and ongoing tax advice.

John meets with David quarterly to review profitability and assess potential business investments. He values having an accountant who understands the wider commercial picture and follows through on commitments. Integrity and trust are central to the relationship, and John describes the accounting process as easy and effortless. He appreciates that when Bernard Rogers & Co say they will come back to him, they always do. As a result, he regularly recommends us to his own clients and suppliers, confident that they will receive the same level of care and attention. In turn, we are always pleased to recommend high quality print from Emerson Press to businesses seeking reliable, professional printing services.
