What our clients say

We find the services that Sheards offer are carried out in a professional, efficient and timely manner - may we also say that the help and assistance Sheards provide to our surgery is excellent and second to none!

Mary Kelly, Practice Manager, Newsome Health Centre

Holdsworth’s as a company has been associated with Sheards since 1920 and have always been more than satisfied with the service they have received. The last few years have been particularly difficult for the company with the continued decline in the textile industry. Without the expert help of Sheards, and primarily Carolyn Atkinson, the company would not have survived. Their help was timely and appropriate, and their guidance has resulted in the surviving elements of the business having a more profitable future.

Martin Campbell, Director, James Holdsworth & Bros. Group Limited

Sheards are reliable, knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. They combine a forensic approach to my past business performance with carefully crafted advice for the future. They are flexible with their appointment times and turn round time is quick when compared to other accountants. I have always felt confident of the thoroughness of their work. I would be happy to recommend them to anyone.

Phillip Lucitt, director/owner, Swinnow Road Dental Practice

Sheards assisted us greatly with our management buy out in 1998 and gave us further advice and support in our change to a group structure several years later. We find all the Sheards team to be helpful and supportive and all our requirements are dealt with in a way which suits our needs. We cannot recommend Sheards highly enough.

Allan Burns, director/shareholder, Walker Metalwork (Elland) Limited

I have worked with Sheards for a number of years and found them very approachable on accountancy and taxation questions as well as very competent in their responses.

They talk in layman’s terms without jargon so that you fully understand all aspects of the problem and the potential alternatives available to you.

I find their family style approach whereby you get a named contact also very pleasing as you can build up a relationship with your contact and they get to understand your business needs and requirements.

I would be happy to recommend the services of Sheards to any company based on my current experiences as they are the consummate professionals

Sean Bostock, Managing Director, Keystone Europe Limited

To everyone at Sheards, I just wanted to say how pleased I am with all the work you have done for me over the years. With your in house independent financial advisors you now provide a total package for me and my business, one less thing to worry about. Well done one and all!

Carlton A Littleford, Director, Carlton Alarms Limited

As a not-for-profit organisation in the voluntary sector it is important for us to have the confidence in an accountancy service that understands the complex nature of our funding and Sheards undoubtedly provides us with that. We have used Sheards for accounts, auditing and payroll services for a number of years and they have continued to provide a friendly and knowledgeable service at all levels. Thanks go to the Sheards team for their continued support and advice.

Paul Briggs, accounts manager, Single Homeless Accommodation Project Ltd (SHAP)

Sheards have acted for Huddersfield RUFC as Auditors and Tax Advisers for many years and we have been very pleased with their professionalism and flexible approach to the work. The Club has grown in size over the last 10 years to include considerable commercial activities as well as the sports club and Sheards have shown their professionalism in working with the changes. Continuity of contact is important and Sheards have retained staff on the job so that it is not a new start each year. I have had no problem getting the members to re-elect the firm at the AGM.
