Who Are Townends?

Townends was established over 100 years ago as a small rural practice of Chartered Accountants. Since then the firm has grown to what it is today and is now one of the largest accountancy practices in the area with offices in Goole, Pontefract, York and Selby. Our core client base is owner-managed businesses and we act for clients throughout the UK and worldwide.

We appreciate that only in time can we gain your trust, so that you know when we say we can and will do something, we do it. We hope to get that opportunity.
