A city accountancy firm is expanding with a new office in a new market place to meet growing demand.

360 Chartered Accountants is opening a branch in York after building a significant client portfolio in the city.

Director Andy Steele said: “We are really excited about opening our office right in the centre of York. It’s always been in our business plan to expand outside of Hull and East Yorkshire, and as our client portfolio here in York has grown, we have seized the opportunity – and can’t wait to welcome both current and future clients to Blake House on Blake Street.

The new operation will be run by 360’s corporate portfolio manager, Jono Stead.

He said: “It’s such an exciting time for 360 right now. Our continued growth is testament to the commitment we show to our clients.

“I am really looking forward to continuing to work with our current clients in York as well as getting to know many more business owners over the coming months.”

360, which also incorporates its own payroll bureau, 5Four Payroll, provides a full range of accountancy services for businesses of all sizes.

These include accounts, tax and book-keeping services, support and advice on business growth, grant claims and raising finances, and advising on exit strategies.

During the pandemic it has helped clients claim nearly £10m in furlough payments across all sectors.
