A rare sight in the wild 👀 ⁠
⁠
Collections of accountants are a true sight to behold. Often, they communicate in Excel formulas, talk bean counting and hum the HMRC on-hold music. ⁠
⁠
However, a name for such a sight has still to be decided. With that in mind, what would you call a collection of accountants?

The W&A Offices, nestled in the middle of Ribblesdale Pl, just beyond the park 📍⁠
⁠
You will notice our red door, shiny gold plaque, and, not to brag, but stunning brickwork. ⁠
⁠
If you are in need of a local accountancy team to help with the numbers, from bookkeeping to VAT returns, payroll and even auditing, look no further!

Bookkeeping taking up too much of your time? ⁠
⁠
No one wants to spend their weekends catching up with bookkeeping (unless like us you love it) so why not simplify the task?⁠
⁠
We have helped many a happy client make the switch to Xero. Reconcile on the go, send quotes, create reports, all from your mobile.⁠
⁠

This is a game we like to play from Avenham Park, it's called “spot the W&A offices”...⁠
⁠
That's right, when we say we're in the city centre, we mean it! Our offices back onto the park. So, if you're looking for a local accountancy team, we certainly tick that box!

You might have heard that tax free milage rates have changed 🚗⁠
⁠
The rates, pre-April 2026, were put in place back in 2011, so this increase is the first in over ten years. ⁠
⁠
For those of you playing spot the difference on the charts the new milage rates for cars & vans is 55p, a 10p increase, which will be backdated to April 2026.

Do you know the team behind your accounts, your payroll, bookkeeping or audits? ⁠
⁠
Although we are a sizeable team, we are also a close-knit team. After all, we work in the same building, and there's only one kitchen. But what we're saying is that you won't be passed from pillar to post.⁠
⁠
You will get to know our team as your own dedicated team. Isn't that refreshing?

Our work is mostly online now thanks to Xero and the fact that it's 2026. But we still have a few relics from the past, and we're not talking about older members of the team, oh no, we're talking books!⁠
⁠
Hidden in the maze of the W&A offices, we have a full library of fun books. All about tax, different types of tax, and accounting. ⁠
⁠
It's not often used, but it's a nod to our heritage, and it's quite fun to have on the second floor 🙊

Accountants who are super knowledgable and genuinely fun to work with. You heard it here first people 🙊
