Accountants in Kirkham
Friendly, affordable accountancy for Kirkham businesses — from your yearly tax return to monthly payroll. Family-run, AAT-accredited and in the heart of our home patch on the Fylde.
No obligation, ever · pop in for a brew · Dan's advice is always free
Kirkham is where it all started for us — Daniel is known locally as “the Kirkham accountant”. This historic Fylde market town and its neighbours are home to farms, trades, family firms and small limited companies, and we've built our reputation here on doing a thorough job and being easy to reach.
From the high street to the surrounding villages, we look after Kirkham businesses with bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, year-end accounts and tax returns. Being right on the doorstep means face-to-face meetings are simple to arrange — though most clients are happy to handle everything by phone and secure cloud software.
Where Sorley started, and the businesses we grew up with
Kirkham is our home patch. Daniel is known locally as the Kirkham accountant, and a lot of what the practice is today was built on work for businesses in this town and the villages around it. That history matters, because it means we already understand how most of the businesses here actually operate.
The mix is farms and rural enterprises, family firms that have been going for decades, building and agricultural trades, and small limited companies working across the Fylde. Farming and rural businesses in particular have their own rhythms and their own reliefs, and they are badly served by accountants who treat them like any other trade.
Kirkham businesses we look after
- Farms and rural enterprises across the Fylde
- Family firms and long-established local businesses
- Agricultural contractors and building trades
- Independent shops and businesses on and around Poulton Street
- Small limited companies and partnerships
Being on the doorstep means face to face meetings are simple to arrange, and plenty of Kirkham clients still prefer to sit down with a coffee rather than send an email.

Accountants in Kirkham — FAQs
Do you have an office in Kirkham?
We're based at Whitehills Business Park in Blackpool, in the heart of our home patch on the Fylde.
Most of our clients work with us by phone, email and secure cloud software, so you get a dedicated local accountant for your Kirkham business without needing to travel — and we're always happy to meet in person when it helps.
How much does an accountant in Kirkham cost?
Our prices are fixed and published up front: Self Assessment tax returns are £298.80 a year, VAT returns £180 a quarter, and limited company accounts £495 a year. Payroll starts at £27.50 per pay run and bookkeeping is quoted on request.
There are no monthly fees and no hidden extras — you'll always know the price before any work begins.
Can you handle everything online?
Yes. We use secure, Making Tax Digital-ready cloud software, online document sharing and electronic signing, so you can send us what we need in minutes.
If you're switching from another accountant, we handle the handover for you — it's usually just one quick authorisation.
Which areas near Kirkham do you cover?
As well as Kirkham, we look after businesses in Wesham, Freckleton, Warton, Wrea Green, Treales and Weeton and right across Blackpool and the Fylde Coast.
Do you work with farms and rural businesses?
Yes, and it is some of the longest standing work we do. Farming has its own averaging rules, capital allowances and succession issues that a general practice will often miss.
If you have land, buildings or diversified income alongside the farm, it is worth a proper review rather than filing the same way every year out of habit.
We are a family business thinking about the next generation. Can you help?
Yes. Passing a business on has tax consequences that are much easier to manage if you start early rather than in a hurry.
Come and talk to us well before anything happens. The options are usually wider than people expect, but only if there is time to use them.
