Two established firms of Lancaster accountants have merged following an agreement between Hartley and Co of Sun Street and Scott and Wilkinson of Dalton Square.
Until the merger, Hartley and Co was a general practice owned and run by Graham Hartley for 23 years. Before setting up his own business Graham worked with another Lancaster accountancy firm.
Graham said: “I believe that the coming together of our two firms is a very positive move. In today’s economic environment it is imperative that clients receive the best possible advice. I am confident that the joining of the two firms will only serve to strengthen this ideal”.
Scott and Wilkinson provide a full range of accountancy and business advisory services including taxation, accounts, audit, corporate finance and payroll, throughout the area.
