About

The Fishbourne Accountant is an enterprise which has evolved out of the success of The Chichester Accountants Ltd, a business that the owner founded in 2010. This time, the emphasis is different as the business is run from the owner’s home in Fishbourne and is intended to stay small and in the owner’s hands for it’s lifetime. This is how it can maintain its reputation for being an owner managed, friendly and personal service of high quality.

Monica Jervis – The Owner

I am a licensed Fellow Accounting Technician with advanced professional training in accounting and taxation, and over 15 years’ experience supporting small business owners through periods of growth and change. I originally founded The Chichester Accountants Ltd in 2010, building it through the aftermath of the 2008/09 recession before establishing The Fishbourne Accountant to deliver a more personal, high-quality service directly from my home office.

My work blends practical business insight with rigorous technical standards. Clients value the clarity and reassurance this brings — whether navigating day-to-day compliance or more complex financial decisions.

My emphasis has always been on quality, professionalism, and approachability. Good communication and long-term relationships remain at the heart of my practice, because I believe that excellent accounting is as much about understanding people as it is about numbers.
