They are always quick to respond to any queries we may have and are always easily accessible by phone or email. I would recommend Mitchell Charlesworth to any business enterprise.
Barpoint Ltd
All meetings with Mitchell Charlesworth always feel positive. The work completed and quality of service from our Auditor was excellent. I really appreciate first class professional service as it is increasingly rare these days!
Bernie Jones, Chief Executive, Trafford Community Leisure Trust
Jamielee is absolutely great to work with. She is professional, friendly and always very clear in both setting expectations and explaining any issues. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and her team to other organisations.
Charlotte Harris, CEO, Cheshire Wildlife
I needed a quick turnaround of my year end accounts to help secure a mortgage on the house of my dreams . The team at Mitchell Charlesworth prepared my accounts and tax computations in a matter of hours. Without prompting, they also liaised with HMRC to organise the necessary SA302 forms. Reactive, intuitive and ultra-efficient, they totally exceeded my expectations.
David Carroll – AccessFD
Jamielee has been our advisor for over three years and from the very start our relationship has always been more than just our auditor. Her gentle yet professional manner puts everyone at ease. Jamielee combines her deep knowledge of our organisation with a strong understanding of the complex sector we operate in and she has always been on hand to advise on queries. Upon completion of the audit fieldwork, Jamielee presents the findings to our Finance & HR Committee and has always been able to explain technical points in a clear and concise manner. Jamielee’s support over the years has been invaluable.
Derri Burdon, CEO, Curious Minds
Mitchell Charlesworth have worked with us for over 5 years and we have always been impressed by the team’s expertise and understanding of our business. During this period they have provided us with expert advice in relation to our annual accounts, tax, VAT, payroll and company secretarial services. Most recently, they have supported us with a R&D tax credit claim for new digital health platforms that we have developed. Tax manager Phil Hartley played an integral role in supporting the claim process, deciphering what qualified and what didn’t and helping to put together the content of the claim and submit it to HMRC. The whole process was extremely straightforward with a significant 5 figure sum received from HMRC within 6 weeks of the claim being submitted. Over the years the firm’s advice and support has proved invaluable and we would not hesitate to recommend their services to other businesses.
Dr. Jonathan Ward, Managing Director, Breaking Free Group
Thank you Emma and Marlon for the great accounting service over the last few years. I appreciate your patience in answering every question (sometimes more than once for the same question) about our UK business ventures. Your willingness to devote the time and energy to get our accounts right is the definition of professionalism. We always felt that we were in good hands. Now that we need to part ways because of the PanEuropean expansion I will miss working with you all.
Gary Gillespie, Leda Art Supply
I would like to say a big thanks to everyone at Mitchell Charlesworth who have made our journey into business so much easier with their knowledge and understanding of things that I still find bewildering! We are entering our third year of business with Mitchell Charlesworth at our side to help us along the way and reassure us, they are always there ready with all of the answers that we need and to guide us through business twists and turns. It gives me great pleasure to say that they are our accountants and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone in need.
Gary Newson, Director, Newson Engineering Ltd
Just a note of thanks and appreciation for the services provided by Mitchell Charlesworth. I have to say that everyone has been a pleasure to deal with. You have made our first year of trading so easy. Please pass on my thanks to everyone concerned; I will certainly recommend Mitchell Charlesworth as a business to deal with.
Graham Hull, G C Hull Ltd
Mitchell Charlesworth have been my Accountants for over 20 years. We have worked together through all the good years as well as the tough years of recession. The advice we receive has always worked for us. Even after our move from the North of England to London (and more recently to Dorset) some years ago, we continued to retain Mitchell Charleworth as we would not think of changing our Accountants. Alison Buckley has never let us down with her advice and guidance, not to mention the rest of her friendly and experienced team who make themselves readily available.
Hazel Bird – Designs by HB
The specialist Xero team at Mitchell Charlesworth did a fantastic job when I decided to move my accounts software to Xero. They completed the initial set up and also provided training to get me started with inputting all my data. It couldn’t have gone more smoothly!
Hazel Bird, Aitch Design
Just to say thanks again now all the formalities are finished from Grasmere’s accounts and audit. We were very apprehensive about the process as we were so new to it but your calm and helpful advice and professionalism meant it all went well. We are most grateful.
Helen M Jones, Chief Executive, North Tyneside Academy Foundation
We would like to thank Paul and his team at Mitchell Charlesworth for the fantastic work they have done for Flow Networks’ management team. We have received great advice on tax efficiency and have saved thousands of pounds after making a couple of small adjustments advised by Paul. This valuable advice is something we have not had before from previous accountancy firms and we’re both delighted that we made the move to Mitchell Charlesworth to look after our business in the long term. We look forward to a long working relationship with Paul and the team.
James Burke, Managing Director, Flow Networks Ltd
As you know, last year’s accounts were quite a rush due to Drivetrain being a new customer and I was happy with the service received then. This year has enabled me to see Mitchell Charlesworth (and your [Amanda Turpin]) true work and I am really pleased with the level of service received. Little things, such as your note about our profit percentage, pointing out the £2000 Employer Allowance and the swift manner in which any of my queries were (and continue to be) dealt with by any staff within your company have been a great asset to me here. I send you my sincerest thanks.
Jayne Blakeley, Director, Drivetrain Ltd
We came to see Jamielee in early 2018 when we were setting up our new business venture. As first time business owners everything was new to us, and Jamielee was able to advise us on an array of business and accounting matters. As well as preparing our year-end accounts and tax returns, Jamielee has implemented a bookkeeping package which is tailored to our needs and has also provided training to our staff. Jamielee is extremely approachable and is always on hand to answer any queries we have throughout the year.
Jen Smith, Director, Kin Bakehouse Limited
We have been a Mitchell Charlesworth client since the company was registered in 2003. Over the last thirteen years we have benefited from a first class financial service from all members of their staff. We have received appropriate, relevant and effective support, advice and guidance over a variety of business issues whether it be the annual accounts, VAT, tax returns or payroll. Based on my personal experience I have no hesitation in recommending Mitchell Charlesworth’s services.
John Lowe, Managing Director
Our transition from Sage in-house payroll to outsourced Iris payroll with Mitchell Charlesworth was flawless, timely and professional – thank you.
Karen Kenyon, P.O.P.S
Thankyou for your time, I really enjoyed the session. It is helpful to have someone to share Xero and issues with from time to time and the reports are looking much less cluttered now.
Karen Macintyre, Levenshulme Inspire
The audit process with Mitchell Charlesworth has always been an efficient one. Even more so in recent years with their use of technology and the audit data portal. The portal system allows me to keep track of the audit process and keeps the whole process streamlined and efficient. The audit team are friendly yet professional, and ask relevant questions.
Mark Firth, The University Caterers Organisation
Alex has provided our Trust with support, advice and guidance for two years. I have never worked with an auditor who consistently goes the extra mile like Alex does, he is so approachable, accessible and responsive. To have Alex on the end of the phone or email during the Covid pandemic was invaluable, he was able to provide clarity and direction across the huge volume of contradictory government guidance; we all felt the benefit of his advice. The regular updates and webinars that we receive from Mitchell Charlesworth are extremely useful. It’s so easy to miss something but the support I receive from Alex and the team help keep me up-to-date. I can’t recommend Alex highly enough, he is an absolute pleasure to work with and even makes audit seem fun! I look forward to a long working relationship with Alex and Mitchell Charlesworth.
Mark Highfield, Chief Finance Officer, Endeavour Multi Academy Trust
Mitchell Charlesworth fulfils all of our accounting requirements as well as providing business advice and support. They keep on top of what we are doing within the business so that they can help us make important decisions. They introduced us to cloud accounting software which has made it much easier to plan financially. Over the year we can check profit levels, pension contributions and know how much tax is due, meaning there are no unexpected surprises at the end of the tax year. The work they do for us is always carried out efficiently, professionally and to a very high standard. I would highly recommend Mitchell Charlesworth to any business.
Mark Rowlands, Rowlands Electrical
We were very impressed with the organisation and efficiency of the audit process with Mitchell Charlesworth and the approach of their staff. In particular we valued the use of their audit data portal system to keep track of the progress of the work. Definitely kept the project as streamlined as possible.
Meta Storage Systems UK Limited
Mitchell Charlesworth are one of the most professional Chartered Accountancy firms I have ever worked with. Whether it be personal or business, the Mitchell Charlesworth team go out of their way to provide an exceptional service and outstanding professional advice.
Mr C – Sole Trader & Personal Tax Client
Alex has given invaluable support and guidance during the development of the Trust and throughout the very early days of operation. Since then he and his colleagues have provided clear and knowledgeable advice and information, not just at audit time, but throughout the year. This has allowed our organisation to improve and become more efficient. The understanding of the education finance system provided by Alex and his colleagues is extremely useful, never more so than during the current period, being mid to late 2020. The MC webinars have been very useful for all our staff to keep abreast of ever-changing financial issues.
Mr David Teggin, Trustee, Concordia Multi-Academy Trust
For a number of years, Anne Beech of Mitchell Charlesworth has handled my personal tax affairs with reassuring efficiency; dealing with HMRC on my behalf when queries arose and ensuring a timely submission of all the necessary documentation. I would not hesitate to recommend the service offered by Mitchell Charlesworth.’ Mitchell Charlesworth have also handled my company accounts and payroll for a number of years now. I remain impressed with the service and would not hesitate to offer my recommendation.
Mr J. Howard, Personal Tax Client and Company Director
To say the least, I am most impressed by the quality of service provided by your Company throughout this most complex of matters, with especial reference to obtaining a most satisfactory outcome in regard to a totally unexpected Inland Revenue demand for backpayment of tax, which otherwise would have caused the most serious personal financial difficulties. I would therefore be obliged if you could kindly accept my grateful thanks in this matter, and also convey the same to your employees, who demonstrated a most considerate and professional approach throughout the progressing of this most difficult appeal application.
Mr M – Private Tax Client
This note is certainly not long enough to reflect the many years that have passed by, but nevertheless I just wanted to drop you a line to put on record my very sincere thanks to you personally Tim, and to Mitchell Charlesworth as a firm, for sticking with us on what turned out to be a long and patient quest to settle my father’s estate. The circumstances were far from ideal as you know, but we got there in the end and this was in no small measure thanks to you. I really valued your support – then and now – and I want to express my family’s genuine gratitude to you for your wise counsel, professionalism and sense of perspective throughout. As if my family’s own circumstances weren’t enough, from your own perspective I know this has at times been an uncomfortable ride too, clearly, and I’m therefore doubly appreciative that you somehow found a way to hang in there when you were under considerable pressure to find a way out. I’ve always been a great believer that you really find out what people are made of when things get tough – this whole affair certainly has been tough for me from a number of angles over the years – and you passed that test with flying colours!
Mr R – Private Tax Client
Mitchell Charlesworth provide an efficient and personalised tax advice service that has catered to my changing needs over a number of years. They are always quick to respond to my tax queries and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Mr. Howe, Personal Tax Client
Mitchell Charlesworth have been invaluable to me since I engaged their services in 2007, initially on behalf of my business, a small not-for-profit company, and more recently for my professional activity as a translator, proofreader and writer. During this time, I have always been able to count on their prompt response, sound advice, friendly attitude and excellent service overall.
Ms S – Personal Tax Client
Mitchell Charlesworth have provided us with solicitors accounts rules audit services as well as payroll services for many years now. We have found them to be extremely professional, helpful and accommodating in all aspects of both services. We plan on using their services for many years to come and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for accounting services, in particular with regards to solicitors accounts.
Nexus Solicitors
As a small business, I need to have complete trust in my accountants. Mitchell Charlesworth have given me a strong, technical service for over 10 years, both on company accounts and personal taxation, and have become trusted advisors on wider company issues.
Nicky Owen, CEO, Epigram Communications and Design Ltd
Here at Viridian Consulting Engineers Ltd, we have been working closely with Mitchell Charlesworth since our formation 3 years ago. They have provided excellent advice in both company and personal financial matters right from the start including the complete company start up advice. All this has been delivered in a friendly and professional manner.
Paul Harris – Viridian Consulting Engineers
Thanks so much for everything you have done this year. I really liked your approach over the last 9 months or so and the way you took a nice tone of positive caution throughout the whole process. But more than anything I’m much calmer now about all my tax affairs.
Personal Tax Client
Excellent service. Technically very capable. Friendly and approachable. Really good coffee if you visit their offices!
Personal Tax Client
Over the last couple of years, Richard Penn at Mitchell Charlesworth Wealth Management has provided me with sensible advice on retirement planning and I have found his support to be invaluable. He has demonstrated an excellent understanding of my financial needs and goals and I’m very pleased with the investment returns from my pension portfolio. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other potential clients.
Private Client
We have engaged the services, both accountancy and audit, of Mitchell Charlesworth for the past 5 years; during this time they have proved to be professional, diligent and timely when completing the required work. Their staff are reliable, personable and thorough and their written reports are comprehensive, accurate and compliant with key regulations, in our case the Trust Handbook and Academy Accounts Direction. This year, for a variety of reasons, proved to be a complex year for the Trust; Mitchell Charlesworth diligently supported us through the year-end process so as to ensure that we met statutory deadlines without compromising the quality of any of the processes involved. This achievement cannot be overstated given the volume of work involved and the short time in which it had to be completed. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mitchell Charlesworth as both accountants and auditors.
Rob Owens, Chief Operating Officer, Rainhill High School
Mitchell Charlesworth provides a most excellent service to our company, for the fullest range of business services; (including audit, Insurance, payroll, bookkeeping, and pensions). In addition, we have been provided with sound advice of a more strategic nature, from the full team, including at Partner level, which has been both thoughtful and appropriate for our business model. The MC team’s responsive, professional and ‘can do’ attitude is extremely helpful and has given us great confidence that we are in the very best hands.
Rob van der Wurff, Deeside Logistics Servcies Ltd
Mitchell Charlesworth (MC) have been our accountants for 15 years, working with us from start-up. They have expertise in everything a company would want guidance on, from VAT, to tax through to investment. From the outset, MC have given us the support and confidence to move forward as a business. Philip Griffiths (Partner) has been instrumental, often acting as a mentor, to guide us through the sometimes tricky decisions we face as well as the charity expertise and understanding of social enterprise that is fundamental to our requirements. If you are looking for accountants to support your business growth, MC are a one-stop resource and I would recommend them to any business looking to improve and grow.
Robbie Davison, Managing Director, Can Cook/Well Fed
I run a small consultancy business based in North Manchester whose operations are conducted principally in the Czech Republic, and I have been guided and advised by Mitchell Charlesworth over the past 10 years on my operations, tax position, and general financial options in the most professional manner, with a level of patience, goodwill and personal interest that I have found to be most satisfactory. Additionally, their fees have always reflected an appropriate level of reward for the work conducted, together with the value to me of such endeavours. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to business in the fields of accounting and financial advice.
Roger Coates, ACIB, Company Director
I have worked with Phil Hartley on our research and development claim, which he has submitted successfully. I have found him to be extremely professional and thorough and very customer facing, and subsequently a pleasure to work with.

Always professional and efficient and are a pleasure to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Mitchell Charlesworth.
Sarah Barclay, Barclay Media Limited
This is the first year that I have had contact with Mitchell Charlesworth. I found all staff involved in the year end accounts for the charity extremely helpful, professional and patient. The two contacts from Mitchell Charlesworth provided assistance in what was a difficult year end for the charity from a staffing position and made the whole process as easy as possible for us as clients. I would definitely recommend their services.
Sarah Ellis, Treasurer, NDE Network
Mitchell Charlesworth have been the accountants for Gladstone’s Library for at least 12 years and during this time their help and support has been very much appreciated. Sarah Reeves and the team carry out our yearly audit in a timely and efficient manner providing our Group accounts to an agreed timetable. All of the team are friendly and professional in all of our dealings with them and they are always willing to answer my numerous questions after the preparation of our draft accounts! Knowing that we can rely on them for any advice that we need is reassuring in these testing times. I would have no hesitation in recommending their accounting services to any other charity or company and thank them for their continued help and support of Gladstone’s Library.
Sarah Robertson, Finance Manager, Gladstone’s Library
As a volunteer led, community based club, Sale Sports Club wanted a trusted adviser that we could call on when needed; provide business direction from their knowledge base and generally give the Club the comfort that they have a critical friend in the background who will support us and direct us when needed. Our relationship with Mitchell Charlesworth has given us all that we have asked for and more. They provide a first class service to the Club and give us confidence knowing they are there to support us when needed.
Simon Dewsnip, Sale Sports Club
Many many thanks to you for the services and support you have given. You have been brilliant.
Small Business Owner
Mitchell Charlesworth have handled Stick ‘n’ Step’s annual Independent Examination over the last few years and so when it came to renewing our insurance policy we decided to approach them to see if they could broker our policy at a competitive rate. We are so glad we did. Richard Gorst got in touch and we were immediately struck by his professional approach. All communication was clear and prompt and he was so thorough in ensuring all our risks were covered. We now feel our insurance policy reflects the needs of our organisation and this is down to the support we received from Richard and the team.
Stick ‘n’ Step
I was introduced to a partner about 25 years ago. I was looking for a new accountancy company as I had recently sold my shares in a holding company. I was impressed with the way he introduced himself and how he described the company. I had no idea that MC were the size they were. I know it’s all relative but the impression I got was one of a small family firm because of the partners personable manner. Suffice to say we have dealt with them ever since and have, along with them, secured two government grants to enable us to increase our turnover considerably. Having retired 9 years ago I still have dealings with their investment team and the current Financial Adviser reflects the trust we have in the Company. Great working with you MC.
Stuart Hall
Mike Buxton was instrumental in assisting Law By Design to achieve fast track approval by the SRA so that we were able to commence trading within 3 months of application. He was entirely professional and driven to ensure he achieved the result we needed, understanding the massive importance to us of a swift turn around.
Sue Morrison, Managing Director, Law By Design Limited
We employed Mitchell Charlesworth following a tender process to review our outdated financial policies and processes in order to identify a better way of working. From the outset the service provided was friendly, thorough and extremely helpful. The quote for the project was clear and fair and the work undertaken in an efficient and professional, yet friendly, manner. Emerald Thomas who led the review worked incredibly well with our small team, providing reassurance and support during a period of possible concern and disruption. Following this experience we then employed Mitchell Charlesworth to help us implement the changes suggested by the review and provide ongoing accountancy support. This has proved to be an incredibly successful choice as our outdated systems were moved to a cloudbased system and our unique requirements supported. Emerald’s patience and flexibility really benefited our team as we navigated the change from a complex way of working to one that both supported our accountancy functions but also our capital project management work which did not sit neatly in any ‘off the shelf’ system. Emerald, as well as other members of the Mitchell Charlesworth team, has consistently gone above and beyond our expectations with the services and support offered and we would highly recommend them.
Sue Noakes, Deputy Director of Education, Chester Diocesan Board of Education
I work for a foreign based TV production company that operated in the UK for a limited period of time. Mitchell Charlesworth were instrumental in us successfully resolving a long running impasse with HMRC regarding VAT. The staff at Mitchell Charlesworth were able to quickly articulate our fundamental issues, provide clear plans of action and engage additional consultants in the field to provide expert advice. But beyond that they were tireless in their approach and at all times conducted their extensive correspondence, both with us and the HMRC in a clear, concise and constructive manner. Despite being on the other side of the globe, we always felt like our best interests were being represented by Mitchell Charlesworth and comfortable that they would achieve the very best outcome possible, which I’m glad to say, they did. I would recommended them without hesitation.
