Who briars works best with
Established Businesses
BRIARS works primarily with established, owner-managed service businesses across Lancashire, Greater Manchester and beyond.
You don't need to be in a particular industry. What matters is that you want an accountant who understands your business, explains things clearly and can help you make better financial decisions.
Whether you need straightforward year-end accounts and tax or more regular support as your business grows, BRIARS focuses on what is genuinely useful to you.
You don't need a finance department. You need someone who understands your numbers.
How briars can help
More Than Just Year-End Accounts
Your accounts and tax need to be right.
But good accountancy should also help you understand what's happening in your business and what to do next.
Annual Accounts & Filing
Annual accounts prepared properly and explained clearly, with everything filed on time
Business Tax
Corporation and business tax taken care of, with sensible planning rather than last-minute surprises
Personal Tax
Where your business and personal finances overlap, I'll consider the bigger picture
Tax Planning
Plan ahead rather than discover the tax bill when it's already due. I'll look for sensible ways to manage tax and cash flow
Growth & Business Advisory
Understand the numbers behind your decisions, from pricing and cashflow to growth and investment
Ongoing Support & Advice
Regular contact and practical support when you need it - not just a conversation once a year
Who We Are
A Local Accountant Who Knows Your Business
BRIARS is an independent accountancy practice based in Lancashire, working with established owner-managed businesses across Burnley, Blackburn, Greater Manchester and the wider North West, as well as clients throughout the UK.
I work with a carefully selected group of businesses where I can genuinely add value. That means getting to know the owner, understanding how the business works and being available when decisions need to be made — not simply preparing a set of accounts once a year.
