Gooding Accounts opens third office

A Wiltshire-based accountancy practice that is committed to empowering people’s futures financially as well as giving back to the local community has just opened its third office, in Melksham. 

Since its creation in 2014, Gooding Accounts has been focused on providing a pathway for committed business owners as well guiding and influencing its charitable and pro-bono work within the local community. In addition to giving professional advice, the firm supports a number of local organisations including Wiltshire Air Ambulance, Dorothy House Hospice Care and Wiltshire Mind through regular fundraising initiatives.

The new Melksham office, located at Bay Tree Barn, Lower Woodrow, is led by experienced ACCA qualified accountant Eliza-Jane Stalker, who brings over a decades’ worth of financial experience to clients.

Melksham’s team, in partnership with the practice’s network of offices across Wiltshire, provides the full spectrum of financial support to customers of all sizes, from accountancy and tax advice to VAT, payroll, and bookkeeping and cloud accounting.

Stalker commented: “As a team, we all care deeply about transforming perceptions of the accountancy profession by leading by example. Our customers love our refreshing approach to business and how we use technology to make their lives easier, and we look forward to having the opportunity to directly support many great individuals and businesses across the Melksham area.”

In addition, Gooding Accounts offers a specialist Business Start-up service designed to help get businesses up and running through assistance in HMRC formalities, VAT advice, and alleviating taxation and company secretarial burdens, all whilst exploring customers’ visions to understand benefits and pitfalls.  

Sam Gooding, founder and director of the firm, said: “Our mission, since day one, has been to empower others to embrace their futures; whether that’s working with sole traders, small limited companies or much more established firms with an international footprint, our goal as a team is always the same: to help our clients to get to where they want to go – both professionally and personally – via sound, practical and trusted financial support. 

“We are committed to showing that, when it comes to accountancy, you can do business differently. Our customers appreciate that we never keep them in the dark when it comes to their financial affairs – we transparently communicate, every step of the way, and are passionate about seeing our clients’ businesses flourish.”
