Accountants in Poynton 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 Poynton and the wider SK12 area stay compliant, plan their tax properly and understand their finances.

Poynton sits between Stockport and Macclesfield and has a strong mix of independent shops, trades, professional firms and family-run businesses. Many of my clients want the same thing. They want an accountant who answers the phone, explains things in plain English and spots problems before HMRC does.

My office is in Wilmslow, a short drive from Poynton, and I meet Poynton clients face to face. That might be at your shop, your unit or your kitchen table, or over a coffee on Park Lane. 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 Poynton.

Supporting Poynton's local businesses

Poynton is an affluent town of around 16,000 people, about six miles south of Stockport and seven miles north of Macclesfield. It has a busy, varied business community and I work with the kinds of businesses that keep it thriving.

Park Lane is the heart of the town, lined with independent shops, cafés and well-known names like Waitrose and Boots. Local favourites such as Poynton Brewery's Flute and Firkin taphouse and Vinehop show how strong the town's independent hospitality scene is.

Just off the A523, Poynton Industrial Estate is home to manufacturers, distributors and trade businesses, including long-standing firms such as Hall and Pickles. The Poynton Relief Road now links the town to the A555 and Manchester Airport, which makes Poynton an even more attractive base for growing companies.

Poynton case study

Paul George Hair, Park Lane

Paul George Hair has been established in Poynton for 28 years. Before I stepped in, the salon was doing its own accountancy. As the business expanded and got busier, the finances became more technical and advanced. Now I take care of their VAT returns, tax returns and year end, as well as their payroll, so the business can focus on growing and enjoy the extra time on their hands.

“Josh's approach is a breath of fresh air. He is very confident and no question is too much. He will give me his time, and I feel like I can phone him up about the slightest thing. He's really approachable and really helpful. I can't thank him enough for everything that he does for me.”
