Accounting & Tax Advisers
Built on Experience.
The management team have been working in accountancy for collectively over 80 plus years - myself and Phil started at PriceWaterhouseCoopers, where we first met.
After building experience across different firms, we came back together and spent the last 14 years working closely as a team on the Yorkshire Coast.
It didn't take long to realise we work best together - and that shared mindset is what led us to create our firm Lintons. One built around proactive advice, modern tools, and genuinely supporting our clients at every stage.
