Deadlines, filings, and ongoing tasks are being managed through a smooth, planned transition with no gaps in service.

The transition to Golding Accountancy has been carefully planned to ensure every Bradleys’ client experiences a seamless changeover. Your records, your history, and your relationship with your accountant are all preserved and in safe hands.

About the
integration

This wasn’t a decision taken lightly. Bradleys Accountants joined Golding Accountancy because it represented the best possible outcome for clients — better support, broader expertise, and a stronger long-term future.

Why Bradleys Accountants joined Golding Accountancy

Both firms share a fundamental belief: that accountancy should be straightforward, personal, and genuinely useful to the businesses and individuals they serve. When the opportunity arose to formalise that alignment, it made complete sense.

  • Shared values around honest, jargon-free advice
  • A commitment to using modern technology alongside traditional personal service
  • The opportunity to offer Bradleys' clients an even wider range of services
  • A growth strategy focused on doing more for clients, not less

What this means going forward

Through this move, Bradleys’ clients gain the full benefit of what Golding Accountancy has built – a team of specialists, modern cloud accounting tools, and a practice with reach across the UK.

  • Expanded capabilities across tax, payroll, bookkeeping, and more
  • A stronger, deeper team with specialist knowledge in a range of sectors
  • Modern tools including Xero and Dext for real-time financial visibility
  • A long-term partner committed to your financial success

About
Golding Accountancy

Golding Accountancy is a well-established, highly trusted firm with offices in Rayleigh and Colchester and a growing client base across the UK. AAT-qualified and certified Xero advisors, the team works with sole traders, limited companies, landlords, CIS contractors, ecommerce businesses, and many more — specialists across a wide range of sectors, always with straight-talking advice and no unnecessary jargon.

The team combines traditional expertise with modern cloud accounting tools, including Xero and Dext, bringing a tech-forward approach that gives clients real-time visibility over their finances without the complexity. The firm is as strong on the personal side as it is on the technical, and the five-star ratings on Google and Trustpilot reflect that.

That reputation has been built steadily over the years, on transparent pricing, honest advice, and a genuine commitment to every client. It is a firm that does what it says, charges what it quotes, and puts the people it works with first — always.

Continuity of
people and expertise

One of the most important things to communicate is this: the people you worked with at Bradleys are still here. The expertise, the relationships, and the care you experienced don’t disappear with a name change.
