Meet the Partners

Tony Cooke FCA - Senior Partner

Tony Cooke qualified in 1981 in London, joined Carter & Coley in 1983 and was made partner in 1986. In addition to his general business background, he also specialises in the accounting and taxation affairs of flat management companies and the complexities that can arise on a freehold acquisition by flat owners.

Tony is married to Anne and they have three grown up sons and currently two grand-daughters. He is a Licensed Lay Minister in the Church of England. When time permits he enjoys a round of golf but hasn't managed to find enough time for his game to improve - or perhaps it is just his lack of ability!

Andrew Clark FCA - Managing Partner

Andrew qualified in 1986 with a national firm and joined Carter & Coley the following year. Whilst having a broad client base, he specialises in corporate clients whose turnover exceeds £1 million.

His expertise includes the prompt preparation of regular management accounts for numerous businesses in a variety of industries and liaising closely with their owners. Andrew has particular experience in the hotel, construction and transport industries. He is the firm's audit compliance partner and responsible for the office IT systems.

Andrew is married with two teenage children. He has been an active member of a local Baptist Church for many years and is responsible for the audit of several local churches. He also acts as Trustee and Treasurer to a number of local charities. When not in the office, he can usually be found on the golf course - although never claims to be proficient at the game!
