Accounts Department


If you're a business owner, you'll need your accounts preparing annually. In this case your work will be handled by a member of our Accounts Team. This team is managed by Phil Crankshaw, who acts as our Production Manager. It's his job to ensure that work is allocated and managed effectively. As far as we know, we're the only accountants in the area to have someone whose job is to organise and manage the accounts work. Makes sense though, doesn't it?


Our Technical Manager, John Hoggarth, ensures that all limited company files are reviewed, and also plans the statutory audit. He also manages the rest of the Audit Team and makes sure that everything runs smoothly.

Other Team Members


The final three team members on this page don't fit into any of the existing categories, so we've had to create one just for them. They're Chris Rigbye, Nishita Rathod and Jim Baker.

Chris is our IT Manager - he develops in-house programs and makes sure that all our systems are working. Our investment in the latest technology lets us stay ahead of the game and constantly improve the efficiency of our service.


Nishita, meanwhile, compiles management accounts whenever these are required, and so provides our clients with a more immediate view of their finances. She also prepares cashflow and profit projections, which might be needed for a variety of reasons. Visit the Financial Management Services page to find out just why Nishita's work is so important.


Jim is our Business Development Manager. With a background in corporate sales at the highest level, and a wealth of experience in customer care, he's in charge of raising our profile and promoting our services to a wider client base. Thanks to Jim, we can reach out to more people and offer the best possible service - which is good news all round!
