About us

At Wilkinson and Partners we pride ourselves on giving a tailored service to our clients. We ensure you get the best possible advice, whether for your business or your personal tax affairs.

Accountancy and tax shouldn’t be just a tick-box exercise to satisfy the requirements of HMRC or Companies House. We help you achieve your goals by getting immersed in your business or personal finances and suggest ways for helping you now and in the future. We use the very latest accounting software to make sure your business and personal tax affairs are dealt with as efficiently as possible.

Working from our Bingley and Ilkley offices, our 4 partners bring unparalleled service to our clients, helping them to conduct their business locally and globally. The recent acquisitions of John H Fox accountants in Harrogate and John Pullan & Co in Ilkley saw further expansion of the practice, with these new clients being serviced from our Ilkley office, or at their own premises.

How we help businesses…

We work closely with you to fully understand how your business operates so that we can give you practical, helpful advice. Our personal approach means that we don’t just roll out the same advice to you as to other businesses. We tailor our service to your requirements and adapt that service to reflect the needs of your business throughout its life cycle.

Not only can we assist with the routine aspects of running your business, such as preparing accounts, processing payroll, and calculating and submitting tax returns, we can also provide one-off or regular business advice. Such advice can help you access funding, grow through acquisitions or mergers and maximise your profitability by making the best use of legitimate tax planning methods.

With the introduction of HM Revenue and Custom’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) regime, we have worked with a broad section of clients who have been affected by this change in VAT filing. Over the coming years, and as more and more businesses come under the scope of MTD, you can be reassured that we can make this change as seamless as possible for you.

We work across many sectors including, but not limited to:

• the professions;
• the service sector;
• the construction industry;
• manufacturers; and
• retailers.

Our business clients range from start-ups to long-established businesses with turnovers in excess of £20million.

How we help individuals…

For private clients who need help with tax planning matters or tax returns, we aim to understand your circumstances and what you are trying to achieve. This helps us to give you sound advice and make sure you file all the necessary returns on time.

We also provide a ‘cradle to the grave’ approach to tax planning and can advise you and your family on inheritance tax, estate planning and setting up trusts. We can also help individuals and solicitors with taxation matters relating to probate and estate administration activities.
