About Us

We have fantastic opportunities for individuals who have experience of working in an accountancy practice, with drive and enthusiasm to join a team that is dedicated to helping clients achieve their personal and business objectives.

Townends is a long established Yorkshire firm with offices in Goole and York, that specialises in providing everything that the owner managed business needs. We have a full range of services aimed at such businesses, including Wealth Management.

Our approach using the ‘Townends Philosophy’ gives us a significant competitive advantage and is central to everything we do. Our style is to take a positive lead and it is not in our nature to simply produce accounts and answer questions when asked.

We are not just your ‘typical’ firm of accountants. Our partners are:

Strategic thinkers
Solution providers
True business advisers and developers
Fantastic mentors

Whilst the focus is on compliance, there are also many opportunities to significantly expand the range and breadth of experience through direct engagement with clients, attending meetings, adhoc projects and working as part of a team to deliver a proactive service. No two days are the same. Participation in networking events will also assist in building on your business developer skills.
