CB Reid is a well established firm of accountants in Dorchester, Dorset, and they can trace their origins back over one hundred years in the county town. The firm was originally established (so we believe) in 1874 and traded for over 100 years, until 1993, as Pearce, Clayton & Maunder.
The practice merged with Weymouth firm Coyne, Butterworth & Chalmers accountants in 1995 and at that point was operating from offices on High West Street. Then, in 1997 the practice became an independent firm under long standing partner Torben Houlberg and incorporated in 2003. In 2006 the firm established a link with a Maidenhead practice, Donald Reid & Co, and welcomed David Gordon-Smith and Daniel Reid as directors.
In 2007, we merged with Donald Reid & Co and became CB Reid Limited. We recruited Pete Cattermole as managing director to run the firm having spent many years working in one of the country’s ‘Big 4’ accountancy firms.
In 2012, the firm relocated to purpose-built offices in Poundbury on the outskirts of Dorchester as they recognised the need for additional space to cope with increasing staff numbers and an expanding client base. CB Reid is focused on accountancy, tax advice, financial advice and business advisory with the aim of offering a range of expertise whilst being small enough to ensure that clients remain at the centre of their focus. The firm entered a period of consolidation and growth with both offices working closely together, bringing their combined expertise to their clients.
At the end of October 2024, CB Reid merged with Xeinadin, a highly respected and well-established business advisory and accountancy firm and became a Xeinadin Company.
