Who we are in the world of Accounting

Metcalfes is a well-established chartered accountancy firm based in Bury, Greater Manchester. Founded in October 1989, we have grown from our roots in a respected family accountancy practice to become a trusted partner for businesses of all sizes. Our journey began when we recognised the need for personalised, cost-effective accounting services for small businesses that were underserved by larger firms.

With over three decades of experience, Metcalfes has built a reputation for being approachable yet professional. Our team of partners and staff brings a wealth of knowledge, combining both small and large firm training to offer a comprehensive range of services. While we primarily serve clients in the Greater Manchester and Lancashire area, our expertise extends to businesses across the UK, including North Wales, Yorkshire, and Buckinghamshire.
