The practice was founded in 1996 by Directors, Perry Bayliss and Dennis Ware. Having come from a national practice background, the Directors set out with the intention of operating national practice standards in customer care and advice in an approachable and personal environment.
In addition to the directors, Bayliss Ware has a young and talented team. Among our staff are qualified and part qualified members of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and Association of Accounting Technicians.
It is a very important philosophy of Bayliss Ware that the client experience in interacting with the directors and staff should be pleasant, helpful and focused.
