Kirk Newsholme is a 4 director, independent firm of Chartered Accountants based at Thorpe Park on the outskirts of Leeds – next to ‘The Springs’ retail park just off the M1.

We are a well-established firm, having been formed over 30 years ago and with a team of over 60 staff, we offer a full range of accountancy and assurance services including Audit, Accounts, Corporate & Personal Tax, Payroll, Bookkeeping and our Financial Planning arm that run alongside us, under one roof.

We are a large enough firm to offer all mainstream services, whilst small enough to offer the highest quality level of service.  We put a focus on client care and staff development, aiming to progress our people to their full potential.

Being an independent firm allows us to make our own decisions, with no ‘head-office’ influence enabling staff to work under full autonomy within their teams.
