Scott & Wilkinson is an accountancy practice known for its friendly and professional service. The origins of the firm can be traced to 1918 when Harry Cross began in practice. Thomas Wilkinson, grandfather of current Director Paul Wilkinson, opened his first practice in 1919. In 1950 Tom Scott joined Harry Cross and in 1952 Donald Wilkinson joined his father’s practice, then 16 years later Scott & Wilkinson was formed. For over 50 years we are proud to have been looking after a wide range of clients, both business and personal, and hope to do so for the next.
We believe that the loyalty we are shown, by both clients and staff, is down to the hands-on approach of our Directors and Managers. Every client has direct contact with the Director or Manager overseeing their financial affairs while benefiting from the wealth of experience of the whole team.
We are sure that Mr. Thomas Wilkinson would be delighted to know that Scott & Wilkinson is still based in the historic city of Lancaster. Although some things have changed, and while the North West is still our heartland, we advise and support clients across the length and breadth of the UK.
