Allegri and Co. was established on the Isle of Wight in 1986 by Brian and Sara Allegri, having worked both in the profession and in commerce for 10 years in Brighton.

Selina Powder joined the team in 2001 where she trained and completed her Association of Accounting Technician exams in 2010. In 2012, Selina formed Carter Accountancy which later merged with Allegri & Co in 2015. Selina is licensed and regulated by the Association of Accounting Technicians under licence number 8572.

Selina is in the office every day, as the sole working Director, and is committed to ensuring that Allegri & Co continue to offer the Island a good, fairly priced accountancy and taxation service. The Isle of Wight is a beautiful place to live and work, Selina puts contributing to the community in a positive way at the forefront of all our practice decisions, to support this.
