About Haines Watts

Why Haines Watts?

Haines Watts is a Top 15 firm of chartered accountants who specialise in advising and supporting business owners. We support over 35,000 companies and business owners around the UK, which gives our clients access to a huge amount of business expertise and knowledge.

Founded in 1930, we continuously pride ourselves on being innovative and progressive in everything we do. From our first office being set up in a wooden shed, with a desk, two chairs, a filing cabinet, and a shared phone. These humble beginnings and the search for continuous improvement have seen the Haines Watts network expand across the country.

We sit alongside you as you meet the challenges of running a business, and not only help you meet your regulatory obligations but also help you make better decisions enabling you to increase the speed and certainty of your progress. We are committed to developing long-term relationships, providing a personal service to you and your business.

Haines Watts, Giving Back.

All of our partners are committed to our corporate social responsibility programme which ensures that our commitment to environmental responsibility, the community, and our ethical practices and policies are as up-to-date and forward thinking as possible.

Involvement in the local community is of paramount importance to the Haines Watts Group – we consider ourselves as community accountants being committed to businesses in the local area, hence our wide geographical presence around the UK. Many of our partners provide time and advice free of charge to local groups and organisations.

The firm takes a proactive approach to support a number of national and local charities with both time and money. Diversity not just of background but of thought and skills is very important to us too, along with inclusion for all, which is why we have recently chosen to become National Sponsor for the Reach Next Generation Summit, aligning our values with action.
