And we’re here to help you win.

But first, does this sound like you?

Well, look no further, because at CGA we’re always one step ahead of the game and we can’t wait to support you.

“Positive, proactive, working for our success and more than earning our trust. If we’d known them earlier we’d probably be retired by now.”

“CGA transformed how we manage our accounts. We moved from constantly feeling on the back foot to having clarity and confidence — particularly as our turnover doubled and VAT became more complex. The whole team are proactive, knowledgeable and genuinely supportive.”

“CGA are a pleasure to work with, they really take the headache out of accounting! I have no hesitation in recommending them.”

“Approachable, proactive and always looking at the bigger picture — I have complete confidence in CGA.”

“More than accountants — CGA are a sounding board, a business barometer and a trusted part of our team.”

“Even as a self-confessed number-phobic, I’ve found CGA patient, proactive and genuinely supportive — they’ve changed the way I manage my business finances.”

"CGA has helped me transform Silverdoor from a profitable little business to one that is marching into a new sphere of business where turnover is now in the millions and a sale could be on the cards further down the cards. They have put in processes for us to handle the financial side much more efficiently and aided us in bringing in best practices to all areas that impact the finances. To sum it up they have installed a professional set-up to the business which has allowed us to expand and do things properly. I count CGA as an integral part of the silverdoor team."

Frequently asked questions.

What range of accounting services do you offer?

From preparing your annual accounts to maintaining PAYE and VAT records, to general bookkeeping services, we provide a wealth of accounting services to help your business succeed.

What makes you different from other accountants?

Contrary to popular opinion on accountants, we don’t do boring and stuffy here. Our client’s success is our success, and we pride ourselves on being a valuable extension of your team.

I’m already working with another accountant, how easy is it to switch over to CGA?

Making the switch to CGA is easy and seamless, regardless what system you’re currently using. As long as you’re open to using our preferred systems in the long-run, we can work with what you’ve got and hit the ground running.

How can an accountant help my business?

An accountant is often integral to your business success as they can help you understand your finances, be your experienced sounding board and guide you in achieving your goals.

Do I need an accountant for my small business?

Many small businesses can manage the basics themselves. What’s often missed is the bigger picture – how structure, remuneration and tax planning affect profitability and long-term growth. We ensure you’re not simply meeting deadlines, but making informed, commercially sound decisions.

Do you work with all sizes of business?

We work with all different shapes and sizes of businesses from sole traders to small and medium limited companies so you can rest assured you can access the tailored support you need.

I only need a personal tax return - am I too small for you?

Quite simply, no. If you need a tax return, you will likely benefit from our services.

Do I need to be local to North Yorkshire?

Not at all. We work with clients throughout the UK and operate digitally wherever appropriate.

However, being based in North Yorkshire means we particularly enjoy supporting local businesses and building strong, face-to-face relationships where possible.
