Stafford Accountancy
A family-run firm of chartered accountants working in Sunderland since 1994, now based at The Yard on Gill Bridge Avenue.
About Stafford Accountancy
Stafford Accountancy is a family-run practice led by Mark and Lyndsey Everett, which has worked with Sunderland businesses since 1994. In 2024 the firm moved into The Yard on Gill Bridge Avenue, the converted former Gill Bridge police station on the edge of the city centre. The practice is a member firm of the ICAEW, and its partners are Fellow Chartered Accountants.
The firm works mainly with small and owner-managed businesses. Its services fall into three broad areas: help for start-ups choosing a business structure and registering with HMRC, routine compliance work such as year-end accounts, tax returns and VAT, and ongoing business support for owners who want regular figures and advice as they grow. Being a small team, clients usually deal with the same people from year to year.
