Whitehead & Aldrich Chartered Accountants

Here at C & W Berry Limited we value longstanding, loyal business relationships with trading partners and professional advisers alike and our relationship with Whitehead & Aldrich is one such relationship. We have always found that Whitehead & Aldrich offer good professional advice that you can trust and at competitive rates. After all, if you didn't have confidence in a business adviser, you wouldn't remain a client for 27 years.

As one of the longest standing accountancy practices in Preston, Whitehead & Aldrich pride themselves on the service they deliver to clients and this is backed up by extremely professional, well trained staff. Whitehead & Aldrich have always had good staff retention levels which means that, when they are acting in their role as company auditor, staff continuity isn't an issue. This in turn means you don't have to explain your systems to audit staff year after year. Keep up the good work W & A !!

A traditional accountancy firm with a modern edge. I cannot recommend W&A Chartered Accountants enough.

I moved my business to W&A following a bad experience with my previous accountants. Not only is the service much better at W&A but the advice is of higher calibre as is their integrity.

If you are looking for a professional accountancy firm who look after you and care about your business then these are the ones for you. They are experts at the top of their field and you won’t be disappointed.

Until being advised by a close friend to meet Jonathan, I had no experience of business, of accounting nor of setting up and running a company. I fell into my business by accident, but W&A helped me embrace it; they explained things simply, they advised accordingly and they've helped me grow since.

They are understanding of the different markets and of different people's needs: They see the people, and the business.

Friendly, professional and accessible are three words I'd use to describe this vital cog in my business.

We switched accountancy firms to Whitehead & Aldrich last year and Jonathan and his colleagues have proved to be a very friendly and approachable team who respond to any queries with prompt and good advice. We took up their suggestion of updating from Sage Accounts to Xero which, with their assistance, was a seamless procedure and has really simplified our book-keeping. Our financial information is now easily accessible in a user-friendly format which is updated on a daily basis. We have no hesitation in recommending both Whitehead & Aldrich and Xero.

Excellent, outstanding, professional and dedicated are just a few choice words I would use to describe this firm of accountants. ( I could go on but Jonathan still needs to fit through the door!)
We have been running a business for 25+ years now, so I knew what we needed - finding it was near impossible. Like most we have encountered good and bad patches, we have had several firms of accountants along the way some have cost us greatly, not only financially but with poor advice and support. So disillusioned, by chance I put Jonathan to the test, he had a big job to restore my faith in the profession. What were mountains soon became molehills, I cannot begin to tell you what a pleasure and relief it was to find this firm - and know I can pick up the phone anytime and I wont feel there is a clock ticking with a bill to follow. Jonathan and his team have been a great support to us, and Whitehead & Aldrich have excelled where others failed us. I don't really want to share this as it could give them more business but if they continue to do what they do well then I am sure so many more can gain from their services. I also no longer dread the monthly DD leaving the bank as their fees are consistently fair which is another big plus! we can leave them to do what they do best and get on with confidence knowing they are there if we need them. My only regret is we never found Whitehead & Aldrich sooner. I can also add that I have not received a fee for sharing this with you and if you don't believe this is real give us a call!

Most people don't list their accountants on the top of their meeting highlights, but not-so with Whitehead Aldrich. A professional and knowledgeable approach, paired with good humour and a personal service mean that the important things are always taken care of, and meetings are anything but dull. Jonathan and his colleagues feel like an extension of our own team, acting with proactivity, clarity and sound advice, both from a business and personal accountancy perspective.

I've moved several businesses to W&A recently and found them very helpful, responsive, with a great deal of insight being offered over and above what I expected from my accountants. I've been dealing with Jonathan and James mainly, but can see that this is a well connected business as others in the office are always aware of what's going on and what needs to be done. I would certainly recommend

I have used whitehead and aldrich for the last 5 years, they have been outstanding throughout. They managed our company accounts in a professional and efficient manner. We used Xero too and they are experts in modern accounting packages like Xero - it meant they had instant access to our software and they could really be hands on.

We exited the business through acquisition and whitehead handled everything we needed throughout the sale process. They truly are a team of experts in their field!

Look forward to many more years of your help and support! Thanks!
