Accountants in Handforth who answer the phone
Josh Morris FCCA, founder of Calibra Accountancy
I'm Josh Morris FCCA, founder of Calibra Accountancy and The Cheshire Accountant. I help businesses in Handforth and the surrounding SK9 area stay compliant, plan their tax properly and understand their finances.
Handforth is Wilmslow's neighbour and a working village in its own right. The village centre along Wilmslow Road has its independents, Handforth Dean brings in shoppers from across the region, and Stanley Green and the A34 corridor hold a mix of trade, distribution and office businesses. Many of them want an accountant who answers the phone, explains things in plain English and spots problems before HMRC does.
My office is in Wilmslow, five minutes down the road, and I meet Handforth clients face to face. That might be at your shop, your unit or your kitchen table, or over a coffee in the village. 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 small and medium businesses in Handforth.

Supporting Handforth's local businesses
Handforth is a village of around 6,500 people between Wilmslow and Cheadle, on the Cheshire East side of the border with Stockport. It has grown around the railway and the A34, and that makes it one of the best-connected places in the area for a business that needs to move goods or people.
Wilmslow Road is the village centre, with independent shops, takeaways, pubs and services. Handforth Dean, with Marks and Spencer, Tesco and a long row of national retailers, is one of the biggest retail parks in the North West, and Stanley Green Business Park beside it holds trade counters, distribution and office businesses.
The A34 bypass puts the airport ten minutes away and the M60 and M56 within easy reach, Handforth station links to Manchester and Crewe, and Wilmslow is a five-minute drive.
