Local Expertise Across Selby & North Yorkshire

Selby’s economy is more varied than its market-town feel suggests, and we tailor our advice accordingly. The district is home to Drax Power Station, one of the region’s largest employers and a major driver of local supply-chain and engineering work, alongside a strong agriculture and agritech sector, food manufacturing businesses, and logistics and distribution firms making use of Selby’s road and rail links. Add to that a steady flow of independent retailers, tradespeople and hospitality businesses around the town centre and Selby Abbey, plus new housebuilding and construction activity as one of North Yorkshire’s fastest-growing areas, and you’ve got a genuinely mixed client base, which is exactly what we’re set up for.

Whatever sector you’re in, we understand the tax and compliance issues that come with it, from capital allowances on plant and machinery to CIS deductions on construction work.

See what our customers are saying about us.

I have used Yorkshire Accountancy for 5 years and would highly recommend them. Great communication and provided great advice when I was unsure about accountancy tasks. Always happy to help.
We’ve recently moved to Yorkshire Accountancy after our previous accountant retired following 33 years of working together, and the experience so far has been excellent. Even in just a couple of months, they’ve shown a real understanding of our business and how we operate at Scribes Digital Print. Their monthly pay-as-you-go model is a brilliant fit for us — flexible, scalable, and designed to grow alongside our business needs. They provide quarterly accounts health checks, VAT return services, payroll support, and handle our annual accounts, which gives us real peace of mind. We use Xero for our day‑to‑day bookkeeping, and it’s been reassuring to know that Yorkshire Accountancy have genuine experts on hand who can support every aspect of the platform. The transition has been smooth, professional, and refreshingly proactive. Highly recommended for any business looking for modern, responsive, and knowledgeable accountancy support.
Great accounting, top support, returns and filing always ahead of time. The team is happy to help with questions and suggestions. Happy customer for years.
Nick and his team at Yorkshire Accountancy have been pleasure to work with. From the very first meeting they took the time to understand my business and gave clear, practical advice that’s easy to follow. They’re always quick to respond to questions, and their support has taken the stress out of managing my accounts. The team is professional, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping businesses grow. I now feel much more confident about my finances, and I’d happily recommend Yorkshire Accountancy to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable accountants.
