Growing advice firm strengthening foothold in North Wales

Dozens of business owners recently attended a Making Tax Digital support event hosted by Chartered Accountants at its new office in Llangefni.

The session was designed to help businesses prepare for upcoming changes under the UK Government’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) programme, which will require digital record-keeping and online tax submissions from April 2026 for many sole traders and landlords earning over £50,000.

In April 2027, the threshold will be lowered to £30,000.

The event drew around 30 attendees and demonstrated strong demand for practical, face-to-face advice on the evolving tax landscape.

Aled Roberts, director at Salisbury’s Chartered Accountants, said: "We've experienced significant growth over the last few years, but our philosophy hasn't changed.

"The response to the session was fantastic and shows that, while the profession continues to evolve, people still value having trusted advisers they can sit down and talk to.

"Having a permanent base in Llangefni means we're even more accessible for businesses and individuals across Anglesey.

"We want clients to know there is always someone here to help them understand changes like Making Tax Digital and guide them through the process with confidence."

The Llangefni office, now home to an eight-strong team, has expanded rapidly since the firm acquired IG Jones Accountants.

Jeremy Salisbury, director, highlighted the importance of the company’s long-term and community-focused approach.

He said: "We've always believed in building lasting relationships with clients and becoming part of the communities we serve.

"The transition has been incredibly positive, thanks to a fantastic team and loyal clients who have embraced the next chapter with us."

Catrin Mather, accounts manager and resident of Y Felinheli, praised the warm welcome from the community.

She said: "It's a fantastic location and we've had such a positive response from both clients and the wider community.

"I've really enjoyed becoming part of the team.

"This was a great session, and it was fantastic to see so many clients and such a variety of businesses here on such a warm summer's day."

Salisbury’s now operates offices in St Asaph, Ruthin, Mold, Beaumaris, Menai Bridge, and Llangefni.

The firm has doubled its workforce in just two years and now employs nearly 50 people across North Wales.

Salisbury’s will also be present at this year’s Anglesey Show in August, where the Salisbury's team will be welcoming visitors for a paned and bara brith, freshly supplied by local businesses and producers.
