1998
The first client
Thomas Harlow opens a one-room practice above a shop on Gillygate.
Why we work the way we do
Thomas Harlow started the practice in 1998 with one client, a builder who had not filed a return in three years. The builder is still a client.
Eleanor Finch joined in 2006 from a large firm in Leeds, tired of clients she never met. Together they decided the practice would stay small enough for every client to have one accountant who knows them.
It still is. We take on about forty new clients a year, and say no when we cannot look after more.
