Finalists in the Harrogate Advertiser Business Awards

Finalists in the Harrogate Business in Excellence Awards

We were thrilled to be one of the finalists in this year's Harrogate Business Excellence Awards, particularly as the achievement came as we celebrate our 15th year in business.


The Wild and Co team were shortlisted for the Independent Business of the Year Award and took our place alongside so many fantastic regional businesses. This could only have happened thanks to our incredible team, who work so brilliantly together and work incredibly hard for our clients.


When we launched Wild and Co it was with the aim of helping other Yorkshire businesses to recapture the excitement they had initially felt when they started out. We also wanted to shake up the world of local accountancy by becoming one of the first cloud accountancy specialists in the region and developing a unique collaborative way of working with businesses.


We are now Gold partners of the finance software platform Xero and share regular updates and webinars with clients to help them make the most of the technology available as new features evolve.


Our overarching goal is to bring the fun back into running a business and to make sure that everything we do has the success of our clients at its heart.


Although we weren't the ultimate winners in our category, we were thrilled to see our clients win awards at the event and we are proud of everything we have achieved as a team.

As businesses grow, their structure often needs to evolve. Establishing a group structure, with a parent company and operating subsidiaries, can provide clearer oversight, and a more robust framework for sustainable growth. It can also support asset protection, simplify complex arrangements and, in the right circumstances, offer tax planning opportunities. In this article, we explore the benefits of a group structure, when it may be appropriate and the key points to think about before making the change. At Wild & Co Chartered Accountants, we regularly support business owners who are reviewing their structure as their businesses evolve and expand.
