We believe ours really is. But we think it should be the people who matter who tell you why, so here are some of our clients’ comments on us. They explain what we’re all about better than we can.
“We have worked with Kirk Newsholme for over 20 years, and throughout that time they have consistently provided an outstanding level of service. The continuity they have brought to our business has been invaluable, giving us long-term insight, stability, and trusted advice as we have grown and evolved. The reassurance of working with an independent firm, free from the disruption of mergers, has been an important part of that relationship.
The team at Kirk Newsholme combine a friendly, approachable manner with a highly professional and commercial outlook. As our outsourced Financial Director, they deliver clear, timely monthly management accounts and translate financial information into practical guidance that supports better decision-making.
Beyond day-to-day financial management, they have played a key role in remuneration planning, exit planning, and advising on management buy-outs. Their breadth and depth of experience, attention to detail, and ability to see the bigger picture have made them a trusted adviser to both our business and its shareholders.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Kirk Newsholme to any organisation seeking long-term, high-quality financial leadership and support from a Leeds based accountancy firm.”

“I highly recommend Kirk Newsholme for any company seeking exceptional financial statements and corporate tax services. Since our company, Interface, began working with them in 2020, they have consistently provided accurate and timely support, coupled with friendly, knowledgeable and responsive customer service. Their expertise and professionalism have been very valuable to our organization, and we are grateful for their ongoing partnership.”
Robert Walraven, Finance Director
Interface Europe Ltd
“We transferred over to Kirk Newsholme in the summer of 2018. Initially we worked with Jill and Justin to build the relationship and understand our business requirements. It was a breath of fresh air to be able to discuss our business objectives in an informative, light hearted environment yet with very knowledgeable and skilled professionals. They were keen to adopt the approach we prefer of agreeing estimated fees up front and setting up an annual retainer for any ad hoc queries to avoid any unnecessary surprise invoices dropping on my desk.
Since last summer we have worked with a number of Jill and Justin’s colleagues who all adopt the same approach. Approachable and relaxed yet experienced and expert in their field. We now have a very good working relationship with a large proportion of the team at Kirk Newsholme and I feel like I could pick up the phone to any one of them (to be honest anyone in the business) and they would help as best they could or point me in the right direction. ”
“I have been a client of Kirk Newsholme for more than 25 years having previously been with one of the big 4. During the many changes of Government, taxation regimes, and economic conditions, they have always provided me with expert corporate and personal taxation advice.
In the recent past I have been fortunate enough to receive specialist advice from Clare Thomas regarding the recent changes in Business property relief and inheritance tax matters.
As an owner manager of a long established successful SME I would recommend Kirk Newsholme without hesitation”
“We searched extensively before moving to Kirk Newsholme. Here we were lucky enough to find a company who aligned with our values, have skills and expertise in abundance, who are always contactable, who care and who create real relationships with us which we value.
They support our growth plans. They do all these tasks seamlessly, they are a wonderful company and we greatly value their input and their wonderful staff.
Kirk Newsholme empower my company to feel in control of our journey and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are quite unique and simply excellent at everything they do at all times.”
“Having previously been with a large national accountancy practice, we felt our company needed a more personal input. Kirk Newsholme has the unique ability to provide the professional expertise of a multinational alongside the close personal attention of an independent”
“Moving accountants seemed a daunting task after being with our incumbent accountant for many years, but the move itself was seamless and the decision to move was wholeheartedly the right decision for the business and for us personally.
Kirk Newsholme have a proactive approach, always suggesting and highlighting opportunities to help us run the business in a smarter way and take time to understand our business and
its industry.
The continuity of service from their high calibre staff, gives us the total confidence and support required for our growing business.
Overall, we’re delighted with the service and would highly recommend!”
Giles Hanson, Managing Director,
Hanson Garages Ltd
“We moved to KN back in 1999 from a national firm. We have enjoyed a first class relationship with them and have benefitted from invariably high standards of service throughout. One of the most pleasing aspects about our work together has been the strong continuity of personnel – with each contact we build on previous progress, rather than needing to reiterate needs or explain historical issues.”
Finally, here’s one from us! This is what our MD, Andrew Thomas, has to say:
Our role is more than simply number crunching. It’s about developing long-term relationships with our clients, so that we can fully embrace their business goals and aspirations for the future – only this way can we develop the in-depth understanding needed to help them achieve their ambitions.
We hope these comments we have given you a flavour for the way we work. If you’d like to speak to a member of our team, please contact us and we will do our very best to help you.
