About Patsy Lim & Terry Smith

What better way to go through life …

Laugh. Learn. Live. Love

And so aptly put by Barbara Johnson, award-winning Christian author and Women of Faith Speaker Emeritus, “If we can keep our minds open to the blessings, humor and education in whatever happens to us – if we can set that little invisible radar dish on top of our heads to constantly search for blessings instead of disaster – our lives will be enriched by the experiences we endure and we can grow from the calamities that fertilize our lives”.

Background

A meeting of minds and skills in 1995 resulted in a great business partnership that’s still going strong (although it does have its challenges).  Many of our clients and colleagues have commented on the unique nature of this partnership – we are both qualified chartered accountants with the same ethics and beliefs, with the same underlying skills and intelligence but with different strengths that complement each other.

The partnership started out as a professional public practice providing the normal accounting services. However, as attested by many of our clients, we rapidly built ourselves a reputation as accountants with considerable knowledge and expertise in the field of marketing and business development. Today this partnership continues with TheCharteredAccountants.com, a website that has been set up to help you save time and money by pointing you in the right direction for the resources you need in your business.

Our Values

Honesty and integrity is important to us and we seek to practice them in all of our business dealings. If this  is important to you, then you’ll enjoy working with us because, to us, honesty and integrity are not just marketing buzz words. They are the core of our personal and business life and it affects everything we do.

What does this mean to you?

It means that we will not recommend nor will we try to sell you anything that we do not believe in. We will not put any information on this website that we know to be untrue (and if we’re not sure, we will tell you to check it out for yourself).  We will not knowingly be a part of any business that does not deliver on its promises and guarantees.

It does not mean that we will always recommend the cheapest product – cheapest is not necessarily the best value.  If we earn a commission from recommending the product, we will tell you about it upfront.
