We love getting to know a business and their industry - inside and out!
We are experienced in supporting any business, whatever their industry.
After fifty years of operating within accountancy, it is no surprise that we have developed dedicated accounting expertise across several sectors.
We are proud to be sector specialists for those operating in food & drink, hospitality, logistics, manufacturing, property & estate agencies and professional sports.
Food & Drink
Food & drink clients are our bread and butter! From small producers to nationally recognised brands, those operating within the food & drink sector benefit from our accountancy, tax and strategic growth services. Working closely with teams that operate within the vibrant food & drink sector, allows us to develop a deep understanding of their needs, challenges and risks.
Hospitality
Hospitality is back on the rise following a significant period of unrest due to Covid-19. A core sector for Walker & Sutcliffe, hospitality reinforces how our team can provide help and support, whatever the climate and challenges faced. From restaurants and coffee shops to B&B’s and hotels, our team support with both advisory and compliance services – whether tax planning or strategies for business growth.
Logistics
Logistics connect UK-based businesses to their local and global markets and are a key driver of domestic and employment growth here in the UK. At Walker & Sutcliffe, we have experience of working with transport, haulage and logistics companies. We understand the complexities of their financial infrastructure as well as the regulatory compliance requirements that must be adhered to. Logistics-based businesses benefit from Walker & Sutcliffe’s accountancy, tax and strategic growth services.
Manufacturing
Our manufacturers are major employers and important contributors to the UK's economic output. As a team, Walker & Sutcliffe understands the UK, EU and global pressures placed on our manufacturers; equally we recognise the opportunities that each presents. We support our manufacturers as they look to become more agile and responsive to maximise their potential. Our services that support manufacturing clients range from day-to-day accountancy and tax through to Capital Allowance and R&D Claims.
Property & Estate Agency
An estate agent was one of our first clients! Over time, we have built a reputation for helping independent and multi-site estate agents, as well as property landlords. We understand the unique pressures that estate agents face. We also recognise their challenges and obligations, not least ARLA reports, the implications that Capital Gains and the legal requirements of filing a UK Property Return brought. In 2023, Walker & Sutcliffe invested significantly in Hammock, the property finance platform for UK landlords - and a tool for helping to ‘Make Tax Digital’ (MTD). Responding to the needs of a core client has enabled the process of migrating from paper-based accounts to digital bookkeeping and filing simpler.
Professional Sports
Walker & Sutcliffe is proud to advise and manage the financial requirements of many professional sports people. Our accountancy and tax-related services support sporting professionals with day-to-day advice and financial compliance. Our specialist strategic growth services help professional sports people to plan and navigate their unique journeys; whether this is to mitigate the risks associated with injury or the future beyond professional sporting roles.
"Walker and Sutcliffe is not just a service provider; they have become a trusted partner on my business journey. Their accountancy services are delivered swiftly and accurately. Through their support, I have complete confidence in all financial aspects of my business.”
