A Bit About Newtons

Founded back in 1991, Newtons isn’t some huge faceless national firm — but it’s also not your average street-corner accountant.Their team is small but very experienced, with technical know-how that rivals larger firms, and the “hands-on partner-level” support you’d hope to get from a local, friendly business.

You won’t be dealing with anonymous accountants here. Key figures include Dan Ellerton, FCCA & Chartered Tax Adviser, who’s been with Newtons since 2007, helping clients navigate complex tax matters.  There’s also Andy Hopkins, FCCA, the Practice Manager, who’s focused on building a strong team that delivers high-quality advice to everyone from new start-ups to well-established companies.
