Josh Morris FCCA, founder of Calibra Accountancy

I'm Josh Morris FCCA, founder of Calibra Accountancy and The Cheshire Accountant. I help businesses and individuals in Alderley Edge stay compliant, plan their tax properly and understand their finances.

Alderley Edge is a village with a town's worth of business. London Road is lined with restaurants, bars, boutiques and professional firms, and a high proportion of residents are company directors, partners, consultants and athletes whose affairs need more than a once-a-year tax return. Many of my clients here want an accountant who takes personal tax as seriously as the business accounts.

My office is in Wilmslow, five minutes up the road, and I meet Alderley Edge clients face to face. That might be at your office, at home, or over a coffee on London Road. Day to day, the rest is done online and by phone.

With over 15 years in finance across large corporates, listed businesses and growing SMEs, I bring big business experience to the businesses and individuals of Alderley Edge.

Supporting Alderley Edge's businesses and residents

Alderley Edge is a village of around 4,800 people, two miles south of Wilmslow and 15 miles from Manchester. It is one of the wealthiest places in the country, known for its restaurants, its property and its footballers, and the business community reflects that: hospitality, professional services, property and personal wealth, with a steady flow of consultants and specialists working at Alderley Park next door.

London Road is the centre of everything. Restaurants and bars, independent boutiques, estate agents, and a cluster of accountants, solicitors and wealth managers serving the village's residents. The Edge itself, the National Trust escarpment above the village, is the reason most visitors come.

Alderley Park, the former AstraZeneca research site, is now one of the biggest life sciences campuses in the UK and sits on the edge of the village. The station links the village to Manchester in half an hour, and the A34 puts the airport 15 minutes away.
