ICAEW Chartered Accountants
North West England
We're a full-service chartered accountancy firm providing practical, personal support to businesses, from annual accounts and tax returns to ongoing accounting support and specialist grant reporting.
Accountants who put our clients first
At Forum, our aim is to make accountancy about more than just getting the numbers right. It's about understanding your business, being available when you need us and giving you advice that's practical and relevant to you.
Founded by two experienced accountants, we built Forum around a simple idea: clients deserve a personal service from people who take the time to understand their needs.
We're proactive, responsive and easy to reach. No chasing for updates. No unnecessary jargon. Just clear communication, practical advice and a service tailored to your business.
"We are extremely pleased that we chose Forum Accountants to provide our Innovate UK Assurance Report (IAR). They made the process simple and straightforward, whilst being friendly and professional throughout. I cannot recommend them enough."

Why choose us?
Specialist expertise
We only provide services that we have extensive industry knowledge and expertise in. If we are offering it, you can trust we can do it. All our work is carried out in-house.
Your needs, not our wants
We take time to understand your unique goals and challenges, then tailor an approach to meet those. If we don't truly believe you need a service, we won't sell it.
A flexible approach
As a smaller firm, we can organise our workload around our clients' needs, rather than being tied to large or rigid engagements.
