Accountancy firm launches new office

Wiltshire accountancy practice Gooding Accounts has opened an office in Melksham.

Founded in 2014 by accountancy director Sam Gooding, Gooding Accounts has grown rapidly.

The expansion into Melksham is now the third office for the practice, also located in Westbury and Warminster.

The 36-strong business now serves more than 2,500 clients locally, nationally and internationally, and has helped over 350 new start-ups to get off to a running start with its specialist support service.

Gooding said: “We’re a very proud Wiltshire-based, people-first business, and the local community is central to everything that we do. Our mission, since day one, has been to empower others to embrace their futures; whether that’s working with sole traders, small limited companies or much more established firms with an international footprint, our goal as a team is always the same: to help our clients to get to where they want to go – both professionally and personally – via sound, practical and trusted financial support.”

The new Melksham office, located at Bay Tree Barn, Lower Woodrow, is headed up by Eliza-Jane Stalker.

She said: “As a team, we all care deeply about transforming perceptions of the accountancy profession by leading by example. Our customers love our refreshing approach to business and how we use technology to make their lives easier, and we look forward to having the opportunity to directly support many great individuals and businesses across the Melksham area.”

Working alongside Eliza at Gooding Accounts’ new Melksham office is the company’s chief finance officer Sherelyn Cowles, administration team lead for Melksham Cerise Richardson, and junior accountant Ritchie McFadzean.
