Award Winning Accountancy Firm open new office in Leeds City Centre

Forrester Boyd Chairman, Mike Beckett

THE move also sees the return of Richard Walker who began his career with Forrester Boyd as a trainee accountant, qualifying as a chartered accountant before gaining valuable experience and building his very successful career in the vibrant financial hub of Leeds.

Richard recently won partner of the year at the Yorkshire Accountancy Awards and whose expertise and strategic vision have earned him a stellar reputation in the industry and in the Yorkshire region. With his leadership, the Leeds office is set to establish a strong presence in the city, offering expert audit, accountancy and business advisory services.

The decision to expand into Leeds is a strategic move for Forrester Boyd, which has built a strong reputation for excellence in accountancy, business advisory, tax, audit and corporate finance services. This reputation has recently been further enhanced winning the Mid-Tier Firm Award at the 2025 Yorkshire Accountancy Awards. The new office will allow the firm to better serve clients in West Yorkshire and beyond, reinforcing its position as one of the region’s leading independent accountancy practices.

Mike Beckett, Chairman of Forrester Boyd, expressed his enthusiasm for the expansion, stating: "We are absolutely delighted to welcome Richard back into the Forrester Boyd team. Richard is a visionary leader with exceptional talent, and I have no doubt that he will play a key role in driving our brand forward in Leeds. Having personally worked in Leeds for many years, I know first-hand the opportunities this dynamic city presents. Establishing a presence here is a fantastic step for our firm’s future.”

The new Leeds City Centre office will provide a full suite of accountancy services, including audit, tax advice planning, business advisory, corporate finance, and specialist sector expertise, ensuring that businesses in the region have access to the highest level of financial support. Wealth Management services will also be provided through our partner FB Wealth Management Limited ensuring clients have access to a fully holistic suite of services.

Forrester Boyd has a proud history of nurturing talent and fostering long-term professional relationships, and this expansion reinforces its commitment to growth, innovation, and client success.
