Senogles & Co, Chartered Accountants was first established in 1925 in Bangor, North Wales by Harold Senogles.  In 2025, we are delighted to be celebrating our family firm’s centenary year.

Our firm's original focus in the 1920s to 1940s was on accounts preparation and taxation advice to North Wales individuals, businesses and farmers located on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey (Ynys Môn) and in Caernarfonshire.  Steady progress was made from its offices in Arvonia Buildings, Bangor and the practice grew in terms of clients and staff numbers.  

In 1948, on his return from active service in India and Palestine with the British Army and Indian Army, David Senogles joined the practice as an articled clerk.  Gradually, David took over the running of the practice from his father Harold and a smooth handover passed the baton from father to son. Our clients and our personal level of service were (and still remain) our main focus - we are a small firm by our proactive choice.

In 1980, Senogles & Co relocated from the Wales mainland over the famous Thomas Telford suspension bridge to Ynys Môn (Isle of Anglesey), into offices in Menai Bridge - right next to the Menai Suspension Bridge (shown below is a view from Ynys Môn of the suspension bridge over the Menai Straits with Eryri behind [Snowdonia mountain range]).

On the sudden death in 1985 of David Senogles, the family practice was sold to local accounting practice “Cecil Williams Denton & Co”; itself a very well established and respected firm in Bangor.  During the early years of this transition, both Geoffrey and his sister Delyth worked in the firm - which now trades as Willams Denton

In late-2017, Geoffrey Senogles and his partners revived the family firm - by now located in Nyon near Geneva, Switzerland.  By choice, we are truly international in our thinking, our worldview and our client base but we deliberately choose to be a boutique firm. We are not measured by big firm “KPIs” (i.e., the dominant metric … fee revenue). By choice: We remain focused on our clients, , we remain based near open water among beautiful landscape and we still look out over mountains (below: a view from Nyon looking out across Lac Léman and the Alps).

Steve Brookfield and Geoff Senogles first met in 1997 when both working as managers in Pannell Kerr Forster, chartered accountants in Liverpool, UK.  Claire Ashby, another chartered accountant joined our firm in 2022. Between 2021 and 2022, Ellie Senogles (who is now a qualified solicitor) spent a year working in the family firm in our Nyon office; and so our firm’s story reaches into our fourth generation … 4G … from 1925 to 2025, and still counting.
