The Team Behind Maynard Johns
About Maynard Johns, ICAEW Chartered Accountants
The straight-talking ICAEW chartered accountants with the personal touch
Based on family values, Maynard Johns is definitely not your run-of-the-mill accountant. Our approach is an open and honest method of explaining your accounts and business issues face-to-face in a jargon-free style, which sets us apart from other accountants.
Our personal service allows us to develop close working relationships to manage and consistently exceed your expectations.
We are proud members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants ( ICAEW). Choosing an ICAEW chartered accountant means receiving only the highest levels of professional conduct.
The ICAEW holds a regulatory and disciplinary role, and all its members must abide by its regulations and codes.
By law, anyone can call themselves an accountant. However, choosing an ICAEW chartered accountant means the person has undertaken a minimum of three years of training, passed several rigorous tests and is committed to their ongoing professional development.
Maynard Johns Launceston
On 24 March 2025, the Launceston practice of Buttons Accounting merged with Maynard Johns Chartered Accountants. The firm was established in 2004 by Emma Gilbert and has since grown to be a well-respected accountancy firm in North Cornwall.
The local team provides accountancy, tax and business advisory services to owner-managed businesses, corporate entities, and private individuals throughout the county.
Along with the team and colleagues from Maynard Johns, they will continue to offer personal and corporate tax planning, financial planning, bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and a host of other services.
