For more than 85 years, George Hay has built a strong reputation for excellence, driven by a forward-thinking approach and a highly skilled team of professionals. Our commitment to innovation and growth has enabled us to deliver exceptional support to our clients year after year.
From our offices in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, and Hertfordshire, we offer a full range of traditional accountancy and business advisory services. In addition, we work closely with private clients to provide expert tax planning and compliance services, probate and estate administration, and bespoke Will-writing solutions.
GH Probate Ltd was established in 2014 to deliver a complete, non-contentious estate administration service to bereaved families, removing the need for third-party involvement.
Building on this, we launched GH Wills Ltd in 2024 to complement our probate offering and help individuals to plan for the future with peace of mind.
Both of these companies are seeing considerable growth, and we require additional support of a legal nature to accommodate this.
