Finding an accountant

Whilst pulling my hair out on search engines to find an accountant based in West Yorkshire who specialises in the design industry... John came up with a pretty simple but effective solution... ring up design studios around Leeds, ask to talk to their account team... and then ask for recommendations.

So far I have rung up B&W design who said that their accountant is nowhere near West Yorkshire (which was interesting) and have e-mailed Vikki at Turnkey Design. 

I then contacted the Director of Analogue Design in Leeds... after a slightly awkward conversation he gave me a recommendation.
A good one. 

So we have decided on an accountant firm called Thomas Coombs & Son based in Leeds.
