Thank you to everyone who joined us at Starling Harrogate as we celebrated our 15th birthday. It meant a great deal to all the team that so many of our clients were able to join us on the night and we enjoyed catching up with everyone.

Liz founded the firm in 2009, with Graham joining her a couple of years later. Since then we have grown with a focus on apprenticeship training and personal development. We are incredibly proud of the vibrant culture we have been able to create thanks to our team and the reputation we have developed for supporting the next generation of accountancy professionals and promoting the latest digital accounting technology.

Ever since we started out, we’ve pushed the boundaries of digital accounting and helped our clients make use of the latest technology and processes to make running a business easier.

This contemporary approach has helped us attract some of the best local emerging talent in finance and we have found it deeply rewarding to mentor our trainees and watch them grow in confidence in both technical skills and client facing work.

We set out to fill a gap for businesses that are looking for a proactive accountancy partner to work with them throughout the year and give them greater visibility over their business numbers.

Last year we introduced a Growth Hub for clients with a programme of workshops, webinars and news bulletins to support business growth and we regularly share knowledge about new apps and software that streamline management information.

Even though digital accountancy is more widespread now than it was when we started out 15 years ago, we are still one of the few firms embracing all the possibilities it offers and keeping clients fully up-to-date on how technology can move them forward.

As we continue to expand our own business, we are looking forward to helping our clients to grow theirs too and to enjoy doing so.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 15th birthday party and we are incredibly grateful to all our clients and contacts who have supported us over the years.
