Accountants and Taxation Advisors

Dedicated to delivering a first class client service

van Dijk Accountants Limited was established in 1987, originally as the financial services arm of Juler Tooke, accountants in Lowestoft, of which Pieter van Dijk had been a partner since 1981. In 2001 the company acquired the practice of Roger Miles & Co in the market town of Halesworth and in 2004 acquired the practice of Amis Cross & Co in Beccles. Having severed all links with Juler Tooke we now operate from beautiful grade II listed offices in the Thoroughfare, Halesworth, and today, we continue to build on our enviable reputation for providing excellent advice and first class service to our business and personal clients alike.
