NR Barton Chartered Accountants have been leading the way for trusted accountancy, tax and business advisory advice for over 70 years. Achieving potential has been at the heart of our approach since day one, and we're not afraid to shake the accountancy world up. Operating from our new offices at Waterside House in Wigan we have over 40 partners and staff advising clients across the North West.
NR Barton can trace its story back to 1948, when founder Norman Richard Barton opened the firm from offices in King Street, Wigan. A lot has happened in the last 70 years as the firm has grown and developed. Roger Mason joined the firm in 1962, becoming a partner in 1970 and this coincided with our move to 20 Bridgeman Terrace (we then expanded into 19 and 21 too). The firm continued to grow throughout the 1970s and 1980s, building on its core client base of local small and medium sized businesses.
Strong values have been at the heart of NR Barton since its creation in 1948. As we strive to achieve and maintain our trusted advisor position with our clients and intermediaries they guide us in our daily actions, providing a common base of values that all our partners and teams share and respect.

We have used NR Barton for advice and in completion of tax returns for a rental property. We have always liaised with Adrian and the service has always been exemplary. The process has been explained to us clearly and the whole process is undertaken quickly and effectively, often on-line, for our convenience. We have had everything explained at every step of the way and the additional advice we have received has been invaluable from pensions to child benefit. Can't recommend highly enough!

We have used NR Barton to look after our business accounts and annual audits for many years. During our time as a client we have always received very professional service and advice from David Shirley and more recently Paul Farrington. Sharon Boardman has always been our regular point of contact and her willingness to help and attention to detail is always immaculate. We enjoy the business relationship and friendship and long may it continue.

Our business uses NR Barton for book keeping and payroll services. We have used the firm now for over twenty years. From my experience the bookkeeping and accounting management has been very well delivered with a high standard of service, particularly from Danielle. Danielle has been willing to assist with a number of complicated queries relating to invoice payments and demands.
She is always extremely helpful, approachable and willing to assist and discuss issues. Thanks to Danielle's diligent approach we have been able to resolve a number of complex queries and issues properly with clear and detailed information which she has taken time to work through and present. I'm very happy with this service which NR Barton has supported our business with.

I worked with Paul Murphy last year on my tax return and can honestly say that he was so incredibly helpful and always so professional and reliable. He was always more than happy to pick up the phone if I ever needed to speak with him urgently and was always able to respond to my emails very quickly. I would highly recommend NR Barton especially Paul Murphy to anyone as they offer such a great service and are always so friendly and very trustworthy.

Samuel James Events Ltd have been using NR Barton for a number of years, in which they take care of all our accounting, taxation and payroll, as well as advising us on a range of other issues. Their knowledge and expertise in dealing with hospitality and leisure sector was a key reason for our appointing of them. Paul, Matt and all the team are a pleasure to work with, always there when we need them and very hands-on. We would thoroughly recommend them, without question.

Whenever I call and for whatever reason my problems are always sorted promptly, Stephanie is always pleasant and helpful and I trust her 100% in all our financial affairs, I would also like to mention Nona who sorts the PAYE out every month and is always spot on with the wages. I could not think of a negative thing to say about NR Barton. Thank you for all your efforts.

NR Barton in Wigan have been my accountants for a year now and Adrian has been helping me with my accounts the entire time. I’ve had nothing but the best experience with them, so very helpful and always looking out for yours and your businesses best interest! I always recommend them! I know with them my businesses finances and tax returns etc are always perfect! I run my own small business, The Soggy Doggie Dog Groomers in Wigan and I can always relax when it comes to my tax returns and finances. 100% recommend!

Adrian and the team at NR Barton have been invaluable since I set up my business just over 3 years ago. Their friendly and professional service has helped in so many ways, including general advice when I was just starting out, help with any and all queries about the CIS scheme, VAT, personal and business tax returns and more recently with setting me up with Xero to manage Making Tax Digital. They are always friendly, quick to respond and act with the utmost professionality, I would (and do) recommend them to anyone.

Neil Whittingham and the team at NR Barton have given our business invaluable advice and support since we started up in 2011. Starting a new business was a big challenge during a difficult commercial climate as you can imagine, however, NR Barton took the time to understand our business and Neil has been available to assist both commercially and personally with great results. I have no hesitation in recommending NR Barton to friends, family and other company owners.
