What's in a name?
Our name is inspired by cycling. A peloton is the group of riders that surrounds and supports the leader, helping them go further and faster than they ever could alone. That's what we do: our clients are the lead riders, and we are The Peloton.
About us
Based in Cornwall in an imaginative and creative office (winners of Best Place to Work in Cornwall 2024), The Peloton pride ourselves on approaching business in an innovative way.
Whilst accountancy and tax are the core of what we do, we constantly strive to build excellent relationships with our clients and ensure we carry out our work as effectively and efficiently as possible. Our work environment is stunning, we prioritise the use of technology wherever possible, and our team are magnificent…but that is what you might expect from a business that has achieved B-Corp status in the last 12 months and is 100% employee-owned.
We continue to seek new challenges and opportunities to improve the way we do things. We know that all our employees' voices are important to us, including yours, and that helps us lead the accountancy and business community.
If you want to work in a fun and innovative company, then drop us a line, pick up the phone or pop in and see us.
