Members of the business community gathered for the launch of a new accountancy service branch in Watford this week.

Kam and Sejal Sira opened a TaxAssist Accountants High Street office at 476 St Albans Road, Watford.

TaxAssist Accountants is the largest national network of independent accountants specialising in supporting small local businesses.

Kam said: “We think market conditions are really starting to pick up locally – times are still tough, but feedback from local businesses is that their order books are starting to fill up.

"We have been overwhelmed by the response from the local business community so far."
