The 1970s

Michael Freedman took over at the helm in the 1970s and the firm, then called Freedman Ross, became one of Yorkshire’s leading independent firm of chartered accountants, specialising in advising owner managed businesses.

Right from the start, the firm has been helping owner managers sort out their problems, raise finance, negotiate with shareholders and lenders, and extract wealth. We have always been passionate about helping the region’s entrepreneurs and SMEs grow and achieve their goals.
