  1. D Wilkinson & Co.LeedsICAEW Chartered AccountantAn ICAEW Chartered Accountant who sells the advice rather than the compliance. The usual work is all there, accounts, tax, audit, bookkeeping and payroll, but the reason it leads this list is the mentoring that comes with it, which is the part most owner-managed businesses actually need and rarely get.The Guide’s pickFeatured

This list covers accountants based in West Yorkshire. It is reviewed periodically, and the date at the top of the page is the date of the last review rather than the date it was written.

What we checked

  • That the business is independent and genuinely based in West Yorkshire, not a national brand with a local address
  • Its public review record: the score, how many reviews it rests on, and whether the volume is enough to mean anything
  • Accreditation and registration claims made on the business’s own site
  • What the business actually sells, against what the sector page says a buyer should be looking for Where a business appears without a review score, it is there on the Guide’s own knowledge of the market and the page says so.

Questions about accountants in West Yorkshire

How did the Guide choose these accountants?

We built a list of accountants genuinely operating in West Yorkshire, removed national chains, franchise offices and lead-generation sites, and checked what could be checked at source: the Google rating and how many reviews it rests on, the registered address, and any accreditation claimed on the business's own website. Position cannot be bought. Every rating shown was read on 3 September 2026 and is dated on the page, because a rating is a reading rather than a permanent score.

Can a business pay to appear in this list?

No. Selection is editorial and cannot be bought at any price. A business already selected on merit may pay for a fuller profile elsewhere on the Guide, and where that applies the page says so at the point it appears.

How often is this list reviewed?

At least twice a year, and sooner where something material changes — a lapsed accreditation, a change of ownership, a business ceasing to trade, or a clear shift in its reviews. The date at the top of the page is the date of the last review.
