About Bowdon Accounting Services

Bowdon Accounting Services is a Manchester-based firm of accountants providing professional financial support to charities, nonprofit organisations, small businesses and limited companies across the UK. We understand that charities and nonprofits face financial reporting requirements that general accountancy practices often overlook, which is why we specialise in this sector — offering independent examinations, SORP-compliant reporting and guidance tailored to trustees and finance teams who need clarity, not just compliance.

Our core services include bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns, management accounts, annual accounts and corporation tax and self assessment compliance. For organisations that need more than routine bookkeeping, we also offer an outsourced and virtual finance office service, giving clients access to strategic financial support, budgeting and forecasting without the overhead of building an in-house finance team.

While based in Manchester, we work virtually with clients throughout the UK and Europe, meaning location is never a barrier to working with us. We take the time to explain financial information in plain language, respond promptly, and act as a genuine partner in our clients' financial health, not just a once-a-year compliance provider.
