This month, Best Practice - Accountancy Age's monthly supplement for smaller practices and their clients - meets Titchener's chairman, Roy Ashton.
Ashton's confident and dynamic approach to his Thames Valley-based practice should soon land the company in the Accountancy Age Top 50 ranking. According to Connections Recruitment, a Titchener's client, the firm's laid-back attitude makes it really easy to communicate and do business.
