Accountants in Wilmslow you can actually meet
Josh Morris FCCA, founder of Calibra Accountancy
I'm Josh Morris FCCA, founder of Calibra Accountancy and The Cheshire Accountant. My office is in Courthill House on Water Lane, in the centre of Wilmslow, and most of my clients are within a few miles of it.
Wilmslow has one of the strongest business communities in Cheshire. Professional firms, consultants and agencies share the town with independent shops and restaurants on Grove Street, Water Lane and Alderley Road, and with the trades that keep the SK9 housing stock in shape. Many of them want the same thing from an accountant. Someone local, who answers the phone, explains things in plain English and spots problems before HMRC does.
Because the office is in Wilmslow, meeting face to face is the easy option. Come to Water Lane, or I'll come to you. The day to day work 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 Wilmslow.

Supporting Wilmslow's local businesses
Wilmslow is a town of around 25,000 people, 11 miles south of Manchester and under half an hour away by train. It is one of the most affluent towns in the north of England, and that shows in the business mix: professional services, property, hospitality, health and wellbeing, and a long list of consultants and company directors who live here and run businesses elsewhere.
Grove Street and Water Lane are the heart of the town, with independents sitting alongside national names, and Alderley Road has become one of Cheshire's best known restaurant strips. Royal London's head office sits on the edge of town, and Alderley Park's life sciences campus is a few minutes down the road, which brings a steady stream of contractors and specialist consultants into the area.
Quarry Bank Mill at Styal is on the doorstep, the A34 bypass links the town to Handforth Dean and the airport, and the station sits on the West Coast Main Line. For a growing business it is hard to find a better base.
